It's a truism - for self-deluding writer types, anyway - that the most offhand, throwaway comment you make will be the one that garners you any sort of notice. Hence, this:
Given all the ancillary activities, more than one reviewer who took in the Snakes scene came away with a distinct Dr. Frank-N-Furter feeling.
"It has the potential to supplant The Rocky Horror Picture Show as the greatest audience participation movie of all time," wrote FilmThreat.com's Pete Vonder Haar.
Maybe it was the beer talking, maybe I was just drawing preliminary parallels to Rocky Horror's lousy initial box office performance and eventual cult status and that of Snakes. In an event, now I finally get to start my own quote whore file.
Look out, Peter Travers.
Dude, I already took down Peter Travers:

Is someone selling our quotes for phat cash? I want my 10%!
But seriously, congrats! You deserve more people paying attention to your reviews...you're the site's best writer.

I like how they wrote that the AP writer agreed with *you*.
Respect.
Congratulations Pete! You've finally had a breakthrough in your reviewing business. Now that the industry knows you're good for an innocuous bit of hyperbole, the money's going to start rolling in! I can't wait for "...Stunning....a Visual Masterpiece!" or the ol-skool favorite "....I Laughed Myself Silly!" I think you're ideally positioned to have your writings associated with advertisements for Garfield 3. Excelsior!
