Schickel’s article is flattering even as he resists falling in love with the book, yet puzzling in its desire to evaluate The Film Snob*s Dictionary as if it were some kind of scholarly tract by Jonathan Rosenbaum. As we’ve said in interviews, the opinions expressed within the book are genuine, but the book itself is, let’s face it, a novelty paperback. Next: Harold Bloom on Why Do Men Have Nipples?
