It's an editorial. And a damn good one at that. David, you sum up everything I think is wrong with movie sites and many of the people who visit them. Your comments about sites often devolving into "back alley infotainment porn" and fans "obsessing over movie-length toy commercials" couldn't be more accurate. It's really funny, and sad, that AICN posted the following this afternoon: http://www.aintitcool.com/node/40103 How can genre fans ever expect to be taken seriously when they're dissecting a line of toys for toddlers and what implications they will have on the movie?

And it's awesome that even though you did your "research" (lol) you didn't post those kind of links it on this site, the only real movie news site I read daily.
