The good doctor has just started a new blog, more like a video roll as Dan mentioned.
The Kermodian curve shows an exponential incline, in paradox to his quiff height.
Key points:
Move to 5Live

Sex Lives of the Potato Men
BBC Newsnight Review-along with Tortoise Tom Paulin and the other Greer he was able to eulogise on such diverse topics as Tom Stoppard, The Life of Pi and The Exorcist. His anti-establishment stance and barnet coming across to viewers a lot better than Humpty Lawson.
Cannes – ‘And we go over to Mark Kermode who is in Cannes hello Mark’ ‘Can I just say….’

Re-launched BBC 2 Review: hosted by Kenickie woman it’s ticking the BBC Charter boxes whilst appealing to the same 40 year-olds buying albums off the back of Paul Morley’s reviews.

What happened to his Observer contract? and Where will this end?
Kermode used to have an every other weekend section in the Observer Review. The Review now has no room for him, or did he want out? It seems strange that a writer as good as Kermode wanted this to finish: now only has space for Philip French and Jason ‘5 News on a Friday’ Solomons. A great shame, and although he still does the odd one-most recently on Haneke I think-he still does not do enough.
I would like to think that Dr. Kermode is now positioning himself to take over from Wossy on Film Two Thousand and whatever with Jonathan Ross. His public image has never been hire; he is towing the BBC line more than ever; Wossy has had his time in the sun and there is great pressure on the amount of money he demands [is this right? Sounds like a lot of crap Ed.]
I think there would be a great reaction to Kermode’s appointment in this place, and I don’t think Ross would be that sad to see it goes, he must be frustrated by Barry Norman’s old scriptwriters still doing his autocue spiel. As Kermode has shown he would do it, he is thriving in his new found stardom and is very passionate about his subject.
