I particulary enjoyed Walter Metz's John Waters goes to Hollywood article both because John Waters was my first favorite director (I think this was 1997?), and because of the revelation of Metz's critic/human complex which surfaces at the end of the essay.

I know this is sort of beside the point of the article, but bear with me... The instruction Metz leaves the reader with in the end ("...we also need to emphasize the ways in which we willingly and usefully participate in the romanticization of particular figures, especially of ourselves as critics with the authority to speak, as well as of hte directors about whom we speak") really, I think, succinctly illumes the poststructuralist notion of the critic.
