maverick Comment 1 Are you in trouble for posting a review here??
iam118 Comment 2 Like the article says, embargoes are absolutely nothing new in the world of professional criticism.
iam118 Comment 3 Since I believe Dan went to a public screening and not a critic's screening, they can't really do anything since Dan didn't agree to an embargo for them to enforce it.
JediJef Comment 4 Yeah, we're not affiliated with anybody, lol, so there's nothing to get in trouble for. The Houston screening was open to anyone who wanted to drop the cash on the tickets.
DarthDan Comment 5 I read his and another article on the subject last night. It appears that the Embargo means only certain outlets are approved to review it beforehand. They all attend the advanced screening regardless because hey -- who's going to turn down an advanced screening even if you have to wait to post your review. And I would presume because that's what comes natural to any journalist who does these things for a living verses seeing them on opening night like a commoner and also I would wager because it allows them to have their review ready to go up a midnight, at the very least. As he or the other guy said, they can review it early if they want, but they'll get banned from viewing any of that picture house's future films in advance.
JediJef Comment 6 I guess I still don't see the point of advance screenings if they're going to turn around and say you can't write about it until release day anyway. Having it ready to go at 1201am is a non-issue; no one surfs the internet going 'omg I have to read this review precisely when it comes out.'
LuvtheDarkSide Comment 7 theres no free speech anymore O.o
