Which is still not the norm when the rest of the country doesn't get to see it. Just because a studio might test screen a horror film and invite the occasional horror site does not mean it has been screened for critics. The screening in question was a JUNKET screening for TV Press. Which mainly means anonymous whores, NOT film critics. If you see Ben Lyons or Earl Dittman or Shawn Edwards on the ads for Obsessed this weekend, you'll get the picture. So no, I don't mean it didn't screen for "bloggers". Just because I write a weekly Ben Lyons column does not mean I am a "blogger." I am a film critic. And Film Critics were not screened Obsessed.Erik Childressnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9218032304234379989.post-72649346839144948712009-04-22T01:12:00.000-07:002009-04-22T01:12:00.000-07:00When you write "the film didn't screen for critics...When you write "the film didn't screen for critics", you mean it didn't screen for bloggers, right? at the NYC screening on Tuesday, several MAJOR film critics were in attendance, including BL, so once again, you have NO IDEA what you're talking about...Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9218032304234379989.post-71740123648668713742009-04-21T21:27:00.000-07:002009-04-21T21:27:00.000-07:00I have zero objection to Lyons interviewing Beyonc...I have zero objection to Lyons interviewing Beyonce and Idris Elba on a B-movie they made and asking fans to submit their own questions via Twitter. <br /><br />That's the sorta thing he SHOULD be doing. He's Ben Lyons. Lightweight-fun fare and goofy celebrity interviews are what he does.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
