The Girl on the Train
A battle over Lance Hammer's Ballast is apparently brewing between Variety's Robert Koehler, who championed the film in a 1.19 review, and Screengrab's Mike D'Angelo, as indicated here.
I almost offered to have a bare-knuckled fist-fight with D'Angelo last summer over In The Valley of Elah. "Almost" means I was into the divine providence notion that if my support of Elah was fundamentally right and true (that Annie Lennox song excepted), God would help me defeat D'Angelo, and if D'Angelo was right I would be the loser. But I wasn't entirely serious because getting into a fight would mean swollen hands and an inability to type for a two or three days.

Jeff:
That was Ed Gonzalez of Slant who you threatened to fight. MD'A was pretty indifferent towards Elah if memory serves.
...Unless you'd threatening to fight more than one film critic thirty years your junior and you just hadn't announced it to the board.

Did the soul of Norman Mailer take possession of Wells' body after he died? Wells seems much more enamored of tough-guyisms lately.
