The Third Man (Criterion Blu-ray)
This title in particular has been the subject of a good deal of controversy on Elsewhere (among other sites), message boards, and email lists across the web. No one seems to talk about much aside from the "Grain Issue." Since the grain (or overabundance thereof) is the obvious elephant in the room, I'm going to address it before getting on to the additional content on display here, of which there is much to see and thoroughly enjoy.

This Radar Online report about the National Enquirer running fake Anna Nicole Smith body-bag photos is icky and surreal. If once a magazine indulges itself in running faked Photoshop images, very soon the editors will come to think little of running intrusive and sometime sloppily reported stories about celebrities; and from that to paying low-life sources and running photos of celebs in their out-of-shape bodies at the beach, and finally to general obnoxiousness and tackiness.

I sure would hate for the tabloids to lose their standards.

What dumbfuck would pick this up, and have any kind of reaction to the photo above?

"Oh my God, look! She's dead!"

Sorry Jeff, just because some sleazy tabloid thinks it's okay to slap pictures of a corpse on their front page, doesn't make it okay for you to do the same. Show some class, seriously, I expect much better from this site. Leave the Anna Nicole corpse fluff pieces to gutter trash "news" sources like CNN.
