Ah yes, the daily beast where I go for all my media reviews.
- Like getting video game news from Forbes. LOL.
Sounds like somebody paid the Daily Beast to generate hype
- Does it really generate positive hype if they said it sucks?
  
  "Any publicity is good publicity."
  Not universally true, generally true. because not gaining any attention at all is a death sentence for entertainment.
  I don't think it is intentional in this case though since the Daily Beast is trash and the odds of trying to coordinate a subversive campaign through them would be a waste of time.
  
  I think there's a large contingent of people who see negative reviews and go "Yeah, fuck that, I'll make up my own mind."
  I felt the same way about Megalopolis. Glad I saw it. When I see reviews talking about how a movie is confusing or hard to understand my general feeling is "Yeah, but the reviewer could just be dumb too..."
  Confusing movies are sometimes the best movies. :) Pi, Primer, the Fountain, Cloud Atlas (I still need to re-watch that one), Life of Pi. Lot of "P" movies here for some reason.
The Daily Beast is as creditable as Diddy not being rapey.
I mean. It's a superman movie. What more need be said?
- I don't know, it's hard to be optimistic with high budget movies these days.
  
  Oh I was implying it would be terrible. Superman is the most boring character ever put to paper in my opinion. But I don't even like superheroes much.
