Wed Aug 03, 2005 4:21 pm Post subject: Sony Busted for Having A Fake Movie Critic |

| Quote: |
Sony Pictures Entertainment must pay $1.5 million to settle a class-action lawsuit accusing the studio of citing a fake movie critic in ads for several films.
Moviegoers who saw the films "Vertical Limit," "A Knight's Tale," "The Animal," "Hollow Man" or "The Patriot" during their original theater runs must file a claim to be eligible for a $5 per ticket reimbursement, lawyer Norman Blumenthal said Tuesday. He represented a group of filmgoers who sued Sony Pictures in 2001. |

Anybody who believes the critics quotes in ads enough to feel that they are owed money should be fined for stupidity. Oh, wait, that't not illegal. Drat.

Admitting that I went to see one of those films in the theatre is more embarassment than is worth $5  |
