Karina Longworth
Karina Longworth is proud to be one of those unwashed, basement-dwelling bloggers that Peter Bart is always on about. In 2005, she co-founded the film blog Cinematical, whilst simultaneously finishing her Masters degree in Cinema Studies, and working at a pasta factory to pay the rent. Karina has also written about film, new media and popular culture for a variety of sites and print publications, including The Huffington Post, NewTeeVee, Netscape, TV Squad, and FILMMAKER Magazine. The high point of her career thus far? The time at Sundance when Roger Ebert gave her the fleece vest off his back. The low point? The time she spilled a negroni on Huey Lewis.
Karina started writing about movies because she couldn't find books that answered her burning questions. Questions like, "Has there ever been anything creepier than the scene where they reanimate Boris Karloff in 'The Walking Dead?" And, "Since 'Back to the Future 2' was set in 2015, isn't there still time for the fax machine to make a comeback?" Karina hopes to answer these questions--and additional, hopefully more intelligent queries--right here on SpoutBlog.

Your Blogger is having some computer issues this morning. While I get sorted, check out this blog post from Roger Ebert , in which he ponders the never ending Democratic primary in cinematic terms. “It must have been a species of torture for the anchors at CNN, who seemed caught in a Groundhog Day loop… The [...]
