...The One-Minute Pundit

Our favorite PR guy Rog affirms the quickly developing CW that EDNA's film is a "sleeper" -- principally because "it’s the antidote to all the sequels we’ve had so far this summer, and all the dreary action films." But because the surrounding films are so franchise-hamburger (or is that TENTPOLE?) bad that makes this one a masterwork? Haven't we had enough of hearing how wonderful something is because the junk makes it look good by comparison? Plus Rog says "[t]he marketing people worry that men won’t go." [TRANSLATION: Musicals are for GAYS.] Probably it'll be that sleeper, but just as probably it could go kerflooey because everyone except the ad-blurbists realizes we don't make good movies anymore -- and least of all musicals.

Rog also tells us Ms. Clarkson's latest album has pancaked. Why do we hope such people bomb? Is it because they're hyped to death in the first place? Or is it because they're alumni of SLIME's talent factory?
