With over a hundred credits to his name, Adam Scott has become one of the most prolific comedic actors of the last decade, perfecting the duality of his nice guy/jerk persona to create some of the most memorable scene stealers in recent comedies. After early career credits that ran the gamut from Torque to Party of Five, Scott soon became a fixture of the Judd Apatow universe earning sizable parts in films like Step Brothers and alt-comedy television landmarks like Party Down, Burning Love, and beloved network comedies like NBC’s Parks & Recreation.

These days, he’s still as impossibly busy, starring in films like the last year’s dark Yuletide comedy Krampus, creating oddities like The Adult Swim Golf Classic, and producing notable indies like The Overnight and Other People through the production company Gettin’ Rad that he created with his wife Naomi Scott. And even as his public profile is constantly rising,...

Tommy Edison, better known on YouTube as the Blind Film Critic, this week reviewed a movie of particular relevance: “Don’t Breathe,” a thriller about three thieves who break into a visually-impaired veteran’s home. Edison is highly positive on Fede Alvarez’s film overall, granting it 3.5 out of 4 “eyes wide open,” and says that, with one exception, “I don’t think it was unrealistic compared to other blind characters in movies.”

This guy! What an inspiration. Thanks to a great profile in The Guardian, we have been introduced to and must share this story of Tommy Edison, a man from here in America known as the "Blind Film Critic". Edison got the most attention in 2011 and 2012, being profiled by Roger Ebert and earning news coverage from CNN and other TV media by publishing YouTube video reviews of films he "watched", or rather, he listened to. We're just catching up to him now, but watching his reviews (see them below), seeing that smile on his face, and hearing his enthusiasm for film even though he can't actually see the screen - is infectious. So how does it work? If Tommy can't see the movie, how is he reviewing it? Well, he's listening and judging the film based on his own imaginative experience.
