Alt-Weeklies at the Movies
Although it was tops at the box office last week, we haven't seen He's Just Not That Into You yet, so we'll have to trust a review in Cleveland's Sun News that says Drew Barrymore (pictured) plays Mary, "a free spirit selling ads for an alternative newspaper." (It isn't the first time that Barrymore has "sold" alt-weeklies.) In other alt-weeklies-at-the-movies news, the Dead in the South blog notes that "a young reporter/publisher of an alternative newspaper" is one of the characters in The Wizard of Gore, the remake of the 1970 splatter film.
