May each of you have the heart to conceive, the understanding to direct, and the hand to execute works that will leave the world a little better for your having been here. -- Ronald Reagan

How Not to Sell a Stupid Movie

Here's a great way to promote a film. Insult the people/audience that you want to go see it. DiCaprio flies around in a gas guzzling private jet while espousing a green anti-capitalist world view. By the way, his was one of the private jets that caused the airline traffic jam at the world cup, that in turn kept a lot of people that spent up to $1300 for tickets from making it to the event. They didn't make it. Ellen Page babbling her nonsense about "holistic intelligence"...what the hell is that? What does Dick Cheney or Sarah Palin have to do with a stupid movie? Page claims she's a feminist. She bashes Palin who stayed married to her first husband, ran her own business with her husband, raised a family, worked her way up to Governor, has a son serving in a combat zone, and is raising a child with downs syndrome. Sounds pretty accomplished to me. Ellen Page? Made one good movie and some commercials.
