Paul Dergarabedian Must Be Stopped -- Vulture -- Entertainment & Culture Blog -- New York Magazine

New York Magazine has started the Dergarabedian Watch. Every week, Paul Dergarabedian provides a "comment" on the weekend box office.

Paul Dergarabedian has the easiest job in the world. His job is to take box-office numbers and say something lame about them. That's why today we're launching our Summer 2007 Paul Dergarabedian Watch.

Every time a news organization uses this zero-content quote machine in place of actual box-office analysis, we'll point it out. Every time Paul says something particularly stupid, we'll call attention to it. We're doing this in hopes of forcing entertainment writers to find a new way to fill their boilerplate Hollywood stories...You can help! Send your Paul D. sightings to vulture@nymag.com. Together, we can make a difference.
