The Official Adam Pascal Love Thread, part three — Page 299

Oh, Emcee, that SUCKS. It's on the same PAGE as the sh!tty review? Yikes. I think the reviewer will look like an idiot, especially with all the incorrect facts.

Can you write a letter to the editor or something about the review? With correct information? Or have someone else do it, since your name already appears in conjunction with the film.

I'm glad your article is okay, though! I can't wait to read it!

Yeah. RAWR. It's wrong of me to think they should've explicitly been like "we need a positive review." And I don't think that at all. But I think that they could at LEAST have required that this chick be held responsible for putting correct information in her review. Five minutes on Google and she'd be informed. I guess I can write something for impending corrections, but I don't know if it matters that much, at this point. The movie's been out for over a week.

The article is intact save for some minor phrasing changes, which I dislike because it diminishes the voice of the writer, but so goes the heirarchy. The girl who edited it has a really annoying holier-than-thou attitude, and is the bossy type who changes things without regard for intention. But, they didn't shorten it. It has a few glaring typos, but whatever.

I'll send it to you guys soon.

Icky, Em, that's not fun. But I'm sure what you wrote is still fantastic. No one's going to be reading that dumb review, anyway. :-P

---

I don't like stupid people...poor Em. I hope everything works out. That sux so much, that reviewer should be fired. Stupid person...

---

*raises hand* I'll read it!
And my sister, and your roommate, and... *shuts up because she's not being helpful*



But seriously, you're a good writer, so people should be able to read what you wrote and believe it, rather than that other, crappily written thing. I would hope.

---

Well, the review isn't poorly written. It's just misinformed, and the tone is really... well, smart-ass.

---

What do you mean? She sounded like she was going for a nasty, biting sarcasm, and just came off sounding like... dumb. Like she was trying to bite the movie in the ass and run away, taunt it, almost, and just came off whiny.

---

Nah. Very.... like she was trying far too hard to force into your must-be-stupid head that the movie isn't even worth seeing at ALL. It had a very smart-ass air to it. Like she was trying to sound like someone who knew the show like the back of her hand, and had to make sure you knew that when you were reading her review; THAT was the most important thing.

And honestly, I'm not like, jealous or whatever that I wasn't asked to write the review. I wouldn't have wanted to.

---

yes but all of the RENT fans who read the review (and I think there are quite a few of them around here) will know she's not informed and not a true fan. and then she will look silly and you will look awesome.

---

Exactly! Fantab (I remembered!) said it best. Wow, I try so hard to explain myself and it just doesn't work...oh well. This is why I memorize scripts.

And Em, that makes sense. I know people who got into college and couldn't write a five paragraph essay...I learned that in seventh grade and I'm a friggin sophomore and I can whip out five-paragraph essays like it's nothing. Yeah, that makes total sense. Your opinion, not my earlier statement. That got interesting.

uh yea...did you catch her screenname?

---

well I checked it right after I read the review, but I went really fast and didn't catch the sn or the quote. So I just went back after what you wrote. aahhh...the power of facebook.

---

yup...we've got ourselves an angry renthead
