The Fanboy: Hollywood’s New Taste-Maker:
A look at the latest and greatest taste-makers of Hollywood: fanboys, “the typically geeky 16-to-34-year-old male ... Whose slavish devotion to a pop-culture subject, like a comic-book character or a video game, drives him to blog, podcast, chat, share YouTube videos, go to comic-book conventions, and once in a while, see a movie on the subject of his obsession. And he’s having his way with Hollywood.” (geekdom united?, I have the power? Does that mean I get a cut in profits? :P)

That Time review was absolutely lame. He doesn't even get his facts right. Peter Curren??? Shia's character's name as Max?? I hope this didn't run in the print edition this way or that's just embarassing.
ReplyDeleteThe guy's not familiar with the series, and it's almost as though he resents the fact that the people he was at the screening with were getting into it more than he was.
Sad, sad, sad review. I can understand a bad review, but not an obviously biased and misinformed one.
hey! dose anyone looked Paris Hilton in transformers movie? on the car.
ReplyDeleteI agree the dude from time should not have even been allowed to run the article simply on the fact that the facts are completly wrong. What happened to the media? Did they fire all the fact checkers? It's sad when they can't check the facts on a transformers movie, it's horrifying when they don't check the facts about WMD's. Maybe if Paris Hilton was in the movie or fighting in Iraq the media would do a better job.
ReplyDeleteP.S. Whose going to join the military now to go and fight those pesky alien robots? That movie sold me.
