In the last year, however, as I've read reviews of friends shows posted to facebook (I've long ago stopped reading the Chicago Reader myself for any real reason!) - I've noticed myself agreeing somewhat with the short articles. They liked some things I liked. They had issue - and respectfully pointed out those issues- with some of the same things I did.
Have they matured? Have I? Does it matter?
They posted a pretty nice review of L'Imbecile today - and I'm certainly going to re-post it to everyone I know!
