Lumenick's last Toronto Film Festival update neglects to mention the incident (instead focusing on an Anne Hathaway/Keira Knightley Oscar showdown), but every single commenter rips into him anyway, blaming the critic for pummeling a national treasure.

My personal favorite release would have to be Raphael Saadiq’s The Way I See It - an album complete with a 60’s feel (and a Stevie Wonder collaboration to lend its stamped seal of authenticity to the project). Also noteworthy - friend of mine, Casely has a pretty sick collaboration (̶

At a “Secret” Show, John Mayer Says He’s Been “Doing a Lot of Thinking”
Late Tuesday evening, The Daily Transom headed to the Lower East Side, where John Mayer performed a “secret” midnight show at Mercury Lounge. Mr. Mayer was extremely loquacious between songs, but the notorious oversharer remained mum about Perez Hilton’s recent allegations about him on Howard Stern’s radio show. Mr. Mayer did, however, remark to the small audience—which included comedians Sherrod Small and James Smith—that “the sweat stains on my shirt predict McCain will w
