Ah. Sarcasm. The old "you couldn't do better" argument. I didn't get paid to come up with a list that is basically TMZ-fodder from the recent past.

The title is about artists who refused to promote their own movies. It doesn't say anything about "modern itinerations of film promotion". You're adding provisos that aren't in the article.

This is exactly the reaction she wanted.  This article is click-baiting.

Exactly. Skyler is a real human being dealing with her spouse going insane.

Seriously? Do you think Hollywood became a business some time after you were born?

This list seems more like something Yahoo News would compile. There were some movies made before the 80s, you know. Some of them were even kinda good.

Yay. A whole article for people who constantly ask if their the only ones who don't watch something find out that not only are they the only ones who don't watch something, but there are a myriad of people who say that about every single popular thing. Will it stop the phrase? no.

I say "even" Cars because the review makes a case for the film being borne of John Lasseter's love of vehicles.

I see. To you film critisicm is just a review with cookie cutter compartments for every kind of film to be placed into. Rather than a discussion of the medium. I expect a little more. Yes, even from an animated film.

Read a book when I was a kid called Prostho Plus about a dentist who went into outer space and had adventures in dentistry. It was my favorite book for years. I thought it was funny at the time. It might make a good movie.

I love Baldwin. But he is too volatile. This would not end well for him.

And "shorthand" belongs nowhere in film criticism. Any random guy can use buzzwords like "bloated" or "pretentious" or whatever. But when you harp on the same point three times, such as this review does, you better have better reasons. It's weak.

The Illustrated Man was already adapted to a movie. With mostly unsatisfying results.
I love Warren Ellis, but Transmetropilitan is a weak sci-fi Hunter S. Thompson clone and it's not very good.

I disagree with a lot of points you made.

There's a movie called Sharknado!? That's hilarious!

Every single movie released to theaters was made "to make money". Every one. No one goes through to produce a film that they think will flop. Even the Cars movies were in effect a cash-grab.

Yes I have. Mostly stuff like Dan Brown books that are written plot-heavy and are pretty much designed to be a screenplay first draft.

You're wrong, Gentle Herpes.

Cool.
