In Reply to: AICN is not a credible reviewer!!!!!!!!! posted by Runshouse21 on January 16, 2004 at 10:32:16:
what i think is happening:
ANYONE who sees an advance screening of a movie and sends his/her reivew to AICN.com usually gets it published.
The marketing folks then grab that, post a quote from the reviewer in the ad, and pass it off as though the "Web site" (however credible it may seem) endorses the movie, when in fact they're basically posting the review of Joe Blo from down the street.
It would be the same as if I went on the board here, said "Forget Blade Runner; see Paycheck!", and then it pops up on a Paycheck newspaper add crediting the quote to ViewAskew.com.
