When this SFist attended a recent press sceening of the animated feature Monster House, something wonderful happened. A writer we've always respected made a pointed crack about "movie reviewers from the dailies", which inspired another film journalist to darkly mutter "Uh, I don't like them animated cartoons", a joking impression of Nemesis of SFist and San Francisco Chronicle movie reviewer Mick LaSalle.

To add insult to injury, both times we were sitting at a desk, working. While our SFists carouse and make calls, Austinist blogs away. Let's see what they've come up with in the last day or so.
