Whacked

The IFC Daily reports that 80-year-old Andrew Sarris was sent packing from the fading-fast New York Observer yesterday, along with a bunch of other staffers. Is Rex Reed hanging on? A world where Rex Reed has a media home and Sarris doesn't is a grim place to contemplate.

(Update: He's now freelancing for the Observer, along with Reed. Borrowed time I think, minus benefits.)
