Post-Oscar Movie Roundup

Oscars? Uh, yeah, whatever. Martin Scorsese finally won one. So I guess that's cool.

Moving along, Slate is ambivalent about the resurgence of the stale slacker-movie genre. Writer Marisa Meltzer especially seems to take issue with the comparative lack of female slacker characters. Maybe I should whip up a slacker screenplay of my own. (Write what you know, they always say.)
