It has come to my attention that at least one Hollywood bigshot, celebrity type read one of my reviews and was got all pissy. I won’t say who it was, other than to say that he or she is involved with Zero Effect in an important way.

The funniest thing I heard about this movie was that Will Smith blamed Michael Mann for it’s commercial failure, which would be kind of like Dan Quayle blaming Pappa Bush for their loss to Clinton/Gore.
