Vern

Vern is an outlaw movie critic and novelist. Since his illiterate beginnings on The Ain't It Cool News in the early 2000s he has become a leading authority on the films of Steven Seagal and an early adopter of the direct-to-video action renaissance. He coined the term "mega-acting" to describe Nic Cage's acting style and invented the Action Comprehensibility Rating system to promote coherence in modern action sequences. Vern's writing has appeared in The Village Voice, Thrillist, CLiNT Magazine and Daily Grindhouse, but mostly at outlawvern.com. His life is shrouded in mystery, but he claims to live in Seattle and seems to know a lot about what goes on there.
