I congratulate you for keeping politics out of your reviews, Mr. Sterritt, but your colleagues have not been as diligent. Indeed what infinitessimal respect I had for MOVIE-AD-BLURB COPYWRITERS vanished when they blasted P. R. MEL for his POLITICS and praised P. R. MIKE for his, whatever their films' excellence (or lack thereof). In the copywriters' small-minded, hermetically-sealed, cash-rich world merit is dead last behind trendiness, pretension, and self-aggrandisement. Turning movie reviews into thinly disguised campaign screeds is merely the proverbial icing on a rock-hard cake.
