Fox not only have these dorks helped get the best show on tv cancelled, but these days they try to get cinema workers who don't enjoy their movies fired

Quote:
A projectionist has lost his job for posting an unofficial review of the new Fantastic Four film on AintItCool.com. He saw the film during a preview and claims he was sacked at the request of 20th Century Fox.

Fox denies it, though the head of the cinema chain told Jesse Morrison that Fox had threatened to withdraw press and trade screenings from the Memphis cinema.

Predictably, the AintItCool community was livid. "Have I mentioned yet that 20th Century Fox can go fck themselves?" said fellow reviewer Moriarty.

Entirely typical - unless you have inside connections or write glowing reviews of their total crap, they run you out of the biz.

When was the last time you saw anyone but Mr. Cranky actually FLAME a rightfully deserving crap pile of a flick ? no, they'll throw two stars at it and cringe as they cite it's 'saving graces'.

This phenom is much worse in video game magazines, given that their advertising income is almost entirely from the very game companies who's games they are reviewing, upset em, and no money, no magazine... ask GMR, oh wait...

Seriously tho, reviewers are usually either fulla crap or paid shills, I used to put 'two-thumbs-down' flicks on my to-see list because if those two flamed it, I KNEW it was worth a watch.

The only film critic worth a damn these days is mister cranky, and that's about it.

It cannot be said enough, those who do not learn from history, are doomed to endlessly repeat it
