It's probably the single most deceptive movie ad campaign in history.




Million Dollar Baby ranks right up there with it. There's also a recent one with Sara Jessica Parker (can't remember title) that's really about promoting gays, but the previews push it as a straight family comedy. You've REALLY got to be wary anymore.

Naw, everyone knows
it's about gays. Remember
Julia Roberts

did a weird film called
"The Mexican" with Brad Pitt?
They kind of billed it

as romance, but then
film goers found out it was
"romance" between guys . . .

That was deceptive
advertising for a film.
Happens a lot, though.

Of the current films,
it occurs to me King Kong
is MOST deceptive.

The original
was fun and entertaining.
This new remake is

relentlessly dark,
manipulative and just
depressing all through.

These days, the best bet
is to skip theaters and
watch home DVDs.

Studios are like
guys after girls -- they will say
anything to get

us where they want us.
Once we buy the ticket then
they don't care if we

think they lied to us.
But when is advertising
ever built on "truth?"
