Movie Studios Suck


As you may have noticed the trailer for 'The Expendables' has been blocked by some asshats at Lionsgate Movies. Instead of basking in the free publicity they would get from tiny little blogs like mine gushing over this kill fest, they instead try to alienate the exact audience they are trying to connect with. How much would it cost them really (in terms of advertising costs and first weekend revenues) to include bloggers in their promotional efforts. Like everyone else in the corporate world, they are years behind the trends. I leave their blocked trailer up to remind you and myself that there is really nothing good in this world that Hollywood can't mess up. The whole thing is leaving a bad taste in my mouth when just yesterday I was willing to hype this film to anyone that would listen to me. So FUCK YOU Lionsgate. FUCK YOU Hollywood.

That is pretty dumb. Isn't the old saying "Any publicity is good publicity." ???

Wait--I'm confused--did they say you couldn't blog about the film? Please explain.

Lionsgate is about as UN-Hollywood as you can get and still be in the system...
