In Slate's defense, does anyone actually remember Hancock? A movie I wanted to like, but they really messed it up.
The mind boggles - who were these people being paid to write about movies, and don't know about Snipes, Washington, Smith, and the rest? We need to retire that saying about weatherman being the job where you can be wrong all the time. Must be the "bad publicity is still publicity" motive again.
(ID4 - Independence Day 4? I'm not paid to write about movies.)
