Re: ‘King Arthur’ Movie Falls on Its Sword in Opening Weekend - WSJ

[Mark Kohut]

Yeah, could be an apt comparison. Water World had such a bad pre-release buzz, always counterpointed to its cost, that it must be like the prerelease bad buzz of Richie's Arthur. 

Not Hollywood wanting to kill it, but influence-makers sharing the words to drown it. so to speak. 

I saw it on 23rd st NYC opening day, and if that goddam CNN cameraman had just shot a little up the line--it was first afternoon showing--I was at a " working lunch"--THE office get-away-with-it-trick...... I coudda been on TV, I could abeen famous....

Better than the murderers said, but......
