Alright y'all, this is why I chose to be a struggling film critic. I love being showered with screeners, and watching them all in the comforts of my own abode!
Now, I didn't take this picture to make you jealous, but to let you know, I really value my stash, and I protect them firecely!
I don't loan them, share them, sell them, or God forbid, post them online! No, no, no!
But I do, studiously, watch each and every one of them, sometimes, over and over, so I can make the best value judgement with my awards choices (I vote for the Critics Choice Awards).
I ran across this interesting article, courtesy of Variety. Take a look at the POWER OF THE SCREENERS!
