The Dissolve was one of the best places on the web for writing about film, and Keith Phipps, Scott Tobias, Tasha Robinson, Noel Murray, Genevieve Koski, Nathan Rabin, Matt Singer, Rachel Handler and all the rest who have contributed were among the best writing about the movies today. With the site “dissolving” this week, we mourn the loss of some of our favorite writing anywhere and discuss the future of film criticism as the writers themselves see it. Plus, we talk the big news out of Comic-Con and have quite literally a WTF of the Week.
