I liked your letter, Flash. What really bothers me about the lack of mention (in 2 fora) is that Universal pays folks to make sure that all the major media news outlets know about their upcoming releases. Where was Universal? Where are they? Is this the level of commitment they have to the BDM?

I ain't worried.

Heavily promoting any sci-fi movie in the months leading up to 'Star Wars' seems like a bad idea. They'll do what was done for "Alien Resurrection" ... it's a post-summer release, so they'll start plugging away at it at summer's beginning.

We don't want JarJar fans dismissing us in the months leading up the Final Lucas Suckfest. I can wait.

Unless this magazine changes its tune soon, I am going to start referring to them as "Entertainment, Weakly."

I've sent a letter to EW, as well:
I'll have to say that your otherwise comprehensive list of what's to be found in theaters this year scares me a little, for what's missing anyway. A sizable constituency for the movie Serenity exists out there (just look at the traffic on the various websites!), and our hotly anticipated reward for loyalty in the form of this movie (based, as I know you know, on the mourned, short-lived TV series Firefly) premieres on Sept. 30, 2005.

What gives? Did Universal forget to tell you about the release date? Or did someone forget to put it on the calendar? Help! Let your huge readership know about this event! Maybe a cover story after Labor Day?

May it do some good.

I sent them an email as well. I love bugging the people at EW!
