Reeler becomes a Defamer
The Reeler, aka Stu VanAirsdale, the Gotham film blogger and rabblerouser, is joining the staff of Defamer. So what's the future of his site?
For better or worse, I've spent nearly the last three years in this space gazing, gawking and sometimes glaring at the fantastic spectrum that is New York City cinema. Starting Monday, March 17, I'll be widening this focus full-time for the good people at Defamer, where I'll be writing about film business, culture and related mayhem on a daily basis. The Reeler, meanwhile, will return to the blog format through which it was conceived. It will continue to publish often (if not quite as often), featuring observations on local film, filmmakers and happenings from yours truly and many of the fine writers who have made this site such a pleasure and privilege for me to be a part of since 2005.Full story here.

Michael Jones is the film festival editor at Variety.com.
