The man who created the Carrie Nations is apparently still into “chick music,” as evidenced by this line from his review of (ugh) Alvin & The Chipmunks: “Despite the fact that the film is set in the present, when the real (or “real”) Chipmunks already have a back catalog bigger than Kimya Dawson’s, the movie tells the story of how they become rock stars and almost get burned out on the rock circuit.” Dear Roger Ebert: Please write a Beyond The Valley Of The Dolls sequel that’s about an all-lady band that graduates from the K universe into the big, bad world of mainstream pop. The world needs it. [rogerebert.com]

Roger Ebert just name-checked Kimya Dawson? What planet am I living on?

Either that or his coworker Jim DeRogatis fed him that line.
Edited from the final draft: “Writers Will McRobb and Chris Viscardi, the creators of The Adventures of Pete & Pete, have crafted movie more disappointing than the Dub Narcotic Sound System catalogue.”
10 years ago, that movie coulda starred Sleater-Kinney. I can hear so clearly in my head what Corin Tucker’s wail would sound like opening “Find It.”
