I was very flattered when Rolando Teco, whose new blog Extra Criticum is pretty damn cool and has a lot of potential, asked me to participate in an experiment in which his various writers and contributors would ask a bunch of questions of me as a critic.

A: The easiest reviews to write are about the shows you feel passionately about. This is another way of saying that ambivalence can be absolutely deadly to a critic and the process of writing the review will feel like—and usually read like—drudge work.... Sphere: Related Content
