A beautiful way to make lemonade from a particularly stinky pile of lemons. “Call your friends! Get the drinking games ready! Here’s a film so bad you can’t NOT watch it!” Kudos to Starz for their Mommie-Dearest-style counter-programming.

Also, I seethe with envy. There is no sweeter way for a film critic to be quoted.

Ha! That’s phenomenal. It’s pretty brilliant marketing, and that’s awesome that they used you. Congrats, MaryAnn.

And of course, I don’t think Starz paid you for the quote… didn’t they…?

No, critics do not get paid for their quotes.
