I'm Moving On From Movieline
It's been a ball, but my time at Movieline has come to an end. I've been hired as the new Movie Editor for New York Magazine's sterling entertainment blog, Vulture, and while I'm excited to move on, there's plenty I'm going to miss.
First of all, I'm going to miss the hell out of my colleagues. Stu VanAirsdale is the best person you could ever hope to run a site with, while Louis Virtel, Julie Miller, Chris Rosen, and Dixon Gaines aren't just great writers but fantastic colleagues to spend all day IMing. Luckily, I can now read Movieline as a fan, and that includes the terrific criticism from Stephanie Zacharek, Michelle Orange, and Michael Atkinson.
I'll also look back fondly on the great thrill it was to work on Movieline every day. Alongside Seth Abramovitch and eventually with the help of Mark Lisanti, we managed to revive a great, dormant magazine brand and turn it into an entertainment website full of terrific long-form interviews, clever features, and up-to-the-minute news. I'll always feel a little like a proud parent, even if I'm the one now leaving the nest. (Hopefully I won't miss you, though...come visit!)
Until next time (or, until next week),

I hope this isn't the beginning of a sharp decline in quality for this website. I'll have to start checking out vulture instead
The murder spree that began at Defamer continues. I like Vulture but they don't highlight comments and therefore validate my existence!
Good luck at Vulture Kyle. I've enjoyed your writing pretty much every day!
Now I cry tears outta my face.
I affirm you. Other than that, I have no words.
Just when I get attached to a talent they become ripped from my affections and I'm left with an emotional maw. I'm going to salve my emotional distress in sports this weekend, where beloved heroes do not leave me to play elsewhere.
OMG, no! Don't leave me... I mean US, Kyle! Who will I argue about True Blood with?!?
Dang! You'll be missed. Good luck and keep having fun. It's important.
Best of luck, Kyle. I will follow you to Vulture.
I knew this day would come (It was this past Monday) but I tried not to think about it. Dude...we are movie geeks to the end. See you on the other side Kyle. (I'm referencing Ghostbusters, not Lost...but you knew that.)
I'm glad you left you sucked !!! I hope you screw up in your new job...looser!!!
Tighter.
Faster.
It would hurt if it were spelled correctly.
Not a good way to end the week at Movieline... But best of luck in your new assignment.
Fare thee well, Mr Buchanan.
In my head you chose to leave because of the bizarre and horrible saturation of The Real Housewives of... updates.
Good luck with the Vulture.
Good luck at Vulture.
Good luck at Vulture. Will miss your posts here at Movieline but will at least have another entertainment website to waste a few more minutes on at work.
No, he's telling you to be looser, you're too tense. Especially in your shoulders.
You're a good interviewer, Kyle. Sucks that you are going to a site I will never remember to check, but maybe I will tie a ribbon around my thumb or something. Cheers.
Dude obviously missed some of Kyle's greatest hits - especially his expert commentary on Ricky Gervais/Thandie Newton's table read of ''Who's Nailin' Paylin?'. Loved that.
Welll...day-ummm....you were fun to read Kyle. Good luck at Vulture...
Harder?
Good luck Kyle.
Dear Movieline.
Hire me. I'm quite witty and well connected.

PS - Ok, one out of two ain't bad.
PSS - Fine! Zero out of two. Happy now?
The latest Nintendo video game system (the 3DS) won't be in stores before March of 2011. It'll cost around 25000 yen, which is about $290 US. Fair price. I just wish it was being released sooner.
