I never check the comments on this site. I randomly do for my other site: http:/www.backpagemovie.com But, the point is: I haven't figured out how to get Wordpress to notify me of comments... But to your point, I assume that your submission came from Martin? He's harmless, though our relationship runs pretty hot and cold. I suspect he's bi-polar and very lonely. I shudder to think that I may have met him in person once and not known it. Oh well, such is cyber-life. As for his post, I'm a big boy. I can handle a flame war. Can I respond on your site to such a discussion? Otherwise, would you care for me to send you a screener DVD? Thanks, Richard P.S.I'm not against ad hominem attacks against the director in cinema reviews. My amazon listing is full of them: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B003A02O4W/ Just try and ponder Phantom Menace, Vampires Suck, Last Air Bender, or Apacolypto without thinking of those directors.

He included a link to both the film's homepage and to the Facebook group you cite. The review was full of ad hominem attacks against the movie's director, Richard Massey. It seemed off; people usually submit reviews of well-known movies they love, not obscure movies they hate. It seemed like an obvious attempt at viral marketing. A Google search of his name and alias brought up this post. Long story short, I've decided not to publish his submission. This entire occurence has been more than a bit surreal.
