(Someone asked his dad about Ghostbusters3, but that was about it. He was very much the proud papa.)
Clooney has never been more likeable. #jasonreitman

At least no one asked him what kind of tree he would be, although I do wonder what he'd LIKE to be asked that he's never been asked. #jasonreitman

directors/actors making horrible art like transformers and g.i. joe deserve the asinine questions because they insist on shitting on the intelligence of millions.
there should just be one press conference where thirty questions are chosen from all the media for the stars to answer. and then that is broadcast everywhere. #jasonreitman

Respectable outlets usually get one-on-one time with the sources, which is in theory more conducive to actual dialogue. Although if the PR hawks are in attendance, it's probably still an absurd dance.

It's definitely still an absurd dance, though. Points on that, for sure. #jasonreitman

I just distinctly remember participating in some of these cattle-call junkets for my school paper, and it was.. traumatic.
Then! There are the so-called hybrid-junkets, where the studio or whatever hosts a cocktail party at the Bel Air Hotel, and a select number of media outlets are invited and gorge on Chardonnay and hob-nob cordially, ie, in a non-structured environment, with the principals. Those ones are not as brutal because everyone gets a bit tipsy.. #jasonreitman

I really liked Syriana. His other fare misses the mark, IMHO. Good night, and Good Luck felt like a cable movie--very disappointing.

Oooh, oooh! *hand in air* I think I know! Choose me! Okay, then, it's been my personal experience that MSM still does not take film and film "happenings" all that serious, especially when they aren't "American" film happenings. Therefore, they find someone who is willing to do coverage for the event either pro bono, or close to it and more for the privilege of attending the festival at somebody else's expense.
