THE NEWS HACK'S CREED:
I know more than you.
I make lots more money than you.
I'm smarter than you.
I'm sexier than you.
I appear on TV all the time.
I work ten minutes a day.
I rule the universe.
I'm going to live forever.
You are an idiot.

THE NEWS HACK'S CREED, No. 2:
A lie isn't a lie when it tells THE TRUTH.

THE NEWS HACK'S CREED, No. 3:
I've come to realize that the looseness of the journalistic life, the seeming laxity of the newsroom, is an illusion. Yes, there's informality and there's humor, but beneath the surface lies something deadly serious. It is a code. Sometimes the code is not even written down, but it is deeply believed in. And, when violated, it is enforced with tribal ferocity.
--JOHN "OMERTA" CARROLL.

THE NEWS HACK'S CREED, No. 4:
News isn't news when we don't report it.

Well, we got our kind of Xmas gift -- BO down 45 PERCENT from last year, but a lot of that's due to KING JIM, although some of it might owe to cynics who think they can do the filmic equivalent of a bowel movement and people will want to see it. Plus SLIME thought people would want to see Jack Black in a "family" movee when people may not want to see him in anything. We do want to see the Os-CAR® people give the a-WARD to that arty remake of something that starred JOHN WAYNE just because it was "successful".

"The industry is going to be running agains [SIC!] all those weeks of 'Avatar,' and it's going to be hard to compete," said one studio executive.

May you have lots more uncompetitive weekends!

P. S.

Jack Black was a trooper [SIC!!!!!] and went everywhere to promote.

"Zeigfield", "trooper" -- who cares as long as we're the most powerful woman in Hollywood!

And -- promote what?
