Hi Travis,

The feed appears to be offline at the moment.  That and it's had it's share of
XML issues:
http://www.syndic8.com/feedinfo.php?FeedID=13079&Section=poll&SummaryID=1573

The validator can't see it at all (at the moment?):
http://feeds.archive.org/validator/check?url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.variety.com%2FRSS.
asp

One that that does stick out is that the HTML markup in some of it's items are
not being encoded:
http://www.syndic8.com/feedinfo.php?FeedID=13079&Section=xml&SummaryID=1574

That "<br>" tag isn't valid in XML.  It'd have to be encoded as "&lt;br&gt;".

But the majority of the time it looks like it's been just fine.
