OK, here is how you do it, but I am only going to tell you once. Go to a movie. Write a review. Do this several times. And march into the local FREEBIE paper ~ this is important ~ and tell them that you love movies so much you want to do it for free. Trust me on this.

Do whatever it takes to get the job. Beg. Cry. Offer a blowjob (for godssake, don't give one!).

Then write the reviews, and collect the clippings, until you have a goodly number.

Take them to your local cheapie paper, and show them your clippings, and tell them how wonderful you are, and offer to do it for cheap.

Repeat as many times as it takes to get paid real money and/or work for a good company.

The only way you can get a job in journalism is if you have clippings. Repeat after me: the only way you can get a job in journalism is if you have clippings.

This is the only time I am going to tell you, so do it or don't, but don't say I never told you.
