Tricia Olszewski
Tricia Olszewski Movie critic and international gadabout Tricia Olszewski can often be spotted running out of screenings in the Washington, D.C., area muttering her favorite critique, courtesy of Bart Simpson: "I didn't think it was physically possible, but this both sucks and blows." She published her first film-related article while working in a Buffalo, N.Y., multiplex, inspired by lunatic Jurassic Park crowds clamoring to get into the showings "where the seats shook." They were talking, of course, about the new DTS sound technology, but the intense rumormongering that audio innovations tend to inspire had them believing they were seeing the sequel to MANT!  So she wrote an (allegedly humorous) essay about it, in the process discovering a flair for pointing out the idiotic. Naturally, a gig at the Washington City Paper followed.

Tricia also writes concert and television reviews for the Washington Post and PopMatters, prompting her to nurture hobbies such as filing and data entry. Her website, letsnotlisten.com, uses blog software but is not a blog. She's technically neither "international" nor a "gadabout."
