Time magazine was also at yesterday’s press conference… or was it? All the quotes in this piece up today on Time.com are from the very same press conference I attended.

I won’t even get to see Fantastic Four: Rise of the Silver Surfer until tonight, but obviously the film was not held from all critics, because there are already many reviews available online. Some of them even trash the film. So why did a projectionist in Memphis get fired from his multiplex job for posting … more…
