So it's been going great. Someone told me what figure I would be lucky to break in my first year, I broke it within my first week, and the second month I've double my first. It's going really well. People are coming, reading and starting to comment too, and that's what matters and that's what makes it so good.

There are, of course, things that don't make it so good, and I've talked about them before. Yet the negativity doesn't just come from other film sites, bloggers and advertisers, it comes from filmmakers too.

In an article Michael Mann, whose films I really enjoy watching, has spoken out about the controversy concerning his latest production on Miami Vice. From IGN:

Mann also dismissed the tabloid buzz that has dogged the film's arduous production. "We're in the era of bloggers, and people can make stuff up. I just don't worry about it."

Ah, I see. So the implication is that none of the press were saying anything negative, just bloggers, and it doesn't matter anyway since bloggers make things up. They never get their stories from news sources and credit them, oh no.

I think Mann you'll find that the very people who are trying to be nice to you and interview you at every press junket are the ones who started these stories, those people and of course people from your own set. By pushing out such negativity you're burning your bridges with the largest growing source of independent news we've ever seen, and a source which a huge population is reading and listening to. Who do you think IGN are when they interviewed you?

Doh. You should work for my organisation, you're as short sighted as they are.
