And another one gone, and another one gone...

Filed under: Critic watch...and Nathan Lee at the Village Voice becomes the latest film critic to bite the dust. The Reeler quotes Lee:
In great Village Voice tradition, I was abruptly laid off today for "economic reasons." My employment at the paper ends immediately: someone else, alas, will be tasked with specifying the precise shade of periwinkle frosting atop the cupcakes in My Blueberry Nights.And so I am, as they say, "looking for work," though presumably not as a staff film critic as such jobs no longer appear to exist.
There's some critic in-fighting in the comments; it's not a sandbox in which I want to play, but I'd like to say that as much as Mr. Lee's writing style rarely agreed with me, at least he obviously loved and was knowledgeable about film.
