Writers Need To Use Different Words


Re: “A little bit of VCB,” by Jesse Locke; “Old-school monster fights,” by Jason Anderson, Film, Aug. 14-20, 2008.

Wow, looks like Fast Forward staff are practicing “learn a new word every day” or buffing up on their Scrabble skills — or lack thereof.

On page 35, Jesse Locke writes: “Vicky and Cristina are on vacation in the film's titular city…” On page 38, Jason Anderson writes: “Trevor Matthews makes for a compelling hero-to-be as the titular Jack...” Are they using the same thesaurus?

Perhaps “title/d” would have been a better choice for at least one of these “reviews.”
