Aside from the content that upset me, the vehicle did as well- I'm right there with you. But I do have to wonder if this isn't the future of reporting. THAT is whats got my knickers all twisted.<br />Well, that as well as the comment which I felt to be patronizing towards women in film.Johnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17284179429362158748noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8597183001052727592.post-36818446662187102162010-12-19T09:23:31.995-05:002010-12-19T09:23:31.995-05:00My good man, your knickers seem to be all in a twi...My good man, your knickers seem to be all in a twist over some twit's exaggerated tweet remark in a BLOG. The article was more than likely aided and abetted by the public relations machine behind the movie - there were no reported tweets that said "It sucked." "FILM blogging the reel world" has no monopoly on virtue or critical judgment. It is a BLOG. I love that word. It conveys the exact onomatopoeic quality of the medium.<br /><br />I believe you have an idea that is really really really really hard to get financing and make a major movie and then have it go on to make a profit. Judd Apatow is not producing film for the ages (although The Larry Sanders Show is still brilliant). He knows comedy and he knows a market that will return a profit.<br /><br />And I think that you and I have exhausted more than enough words on a movie that we have no intention of ever seeing.johnny xnoreply@blogger.com
