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)"

Posted by: Shrike on Sep 04, 06:43 in response to Antibody's post The Variety review was news-worthy because it was FIRST...

http://www.joblo.com/index.php?id=23505 or http://www.esquire.com/features/movies/the-road-movie-review-0609 "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.

96% of the people living in the United States who want to see TROAD will never read Variety. That's just one opinion. {nm} secretstalker Sep 03, 19:07

Precisely. {nm} Vashta Nerada Sep 03, 19:11

I'd express my opinion on this post, but seeing as no other opinions are posted yet, maybe I shouldn't? Yes, flawless logic. Sorry, had to Perfection Sep 03, 19:09

The Variety review was news-worthy because it was FIRST of a highly-anticipated movie. {nm} Antibody Sep 03, 19:33

The fact that it has generated responses from Playlist, Jeffery Wells and other bloggers makes it even more news relevant. {nm} Antibody Sep 03, 19:40

98% of the people living in the United States who want to see TROAD will never read either of those blogs. {nm} secretstalker Sep 03, 20:02

I think the fact that it generated responses on this board says a lot more. {nm} Vashta Nerada Sep 03, 22:41

Some people would find that Variety, THR and Playlist all don't think TROAD is a commercial film useful information. {nm} Antibody Sep 04, 09:31

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 Vashta Nerada Sep 03, 22:38

Huh? I do know Variety review is an opinion. What happens now?! {nm} Antibody Sep 04, 09:18
