The folks who run this site lament not having the opportunity to review this film in advance and would be happy if a film was flown out to them.
Has it ever occurred to the rocket scientists at this site that maybe if they would stop "reviewing" films a year or so in advance that maybe a little more respect would be thrown their way?
While I'm not a fan of AICN, they at least refrain from forming opinions about a film based on rumors and hearsay from fan sites, 100th hand information, extras, and 10th assistants to the 40th assistant of the Best Boy.
AICN uses folks who are actually in the film business and, like it or not, Harry Knowles is somewhat connected and gets first hand info.
For years now I've been looking in on this site every 2 weeks or so and if I was a studio guy trying to get advance buzz going for a film I would refrain from using "craptastic" and other such colorful metaphors for films that are no where near done (or in some cases not even written yet).
So either get a fucking clue or shut the fuck up and deal with the bed you've made.

Don't knock "craptastic." It's a versatile word that can either mean so full of shit it sucks OR so full of shit that it might be a nice guilty pleasure for me to sink my teeth into. Versatile.
Regarding the clue and getting one, buzz is buzz, friend; good or bad, script stage, pre-pro, shooting or post. Are we guilty of pontificating on and on about buzz and hearsay? Sure. Do "legit" news media outlets do the same thing all day and call it CNN? You tell me.
You can't stop geekish folk of well crafted pop culture (who are hungry for more, well-crafted pop culture) from being disappointed by lack of quality decisionmaking (in script, casting, direction, editing etc).
Geeks want quality, craptastical or otherwise. And you, friend, by the sounds of it are no geek.
See you again in a few weeks-

You know ever since they "redesigned" their webpage:www.aintitcoolnews.com, it's gotten worse to navigate thru all their content. It's definitely time for a redesign again. Their site used to be "cool"... now it's not so cool.

Are you fucking kidding?? Those guys won't give anything a chance- most of them are 100% convinced that Superman Returns will be the biggest bomb of all time even though all they've seen of it is a teaser trailer and a few pics.
