"It is a brilliantly directed adaptation of a beloved novel, a delicate and anachronistically loving look at the immodest and brutish end of us all."
Im certainly hoping for a pretty great film and the word ive been eharing has been good so far. That said i dont really see why running that poor variety opinion should result in such a sudden drop or that it could be manipulation. Just one of those sheepy things i suppose. In fairness tho with respect to it not being first and not backing up previous opinion, more care could be taken in posting such things to such an easily led market.

The fact that it has generated responses from Playlist, Jeffery Wells and other bloggers makes it even more news relevant.

Some people would find that Variety, THR and Playlist all don't think TROAD is a commercial film useful information.

I read a reviews of it last year and a couple this year. Last october Joblo said, "THE ROAD easily makes it into my top 5 thus far (2008)"

I don't care that the stock moved. Playing the players is an age old trading practice around here. What I do care about is him not taking
