As the disturbing trend continues, Larry the Cable Guy: Health Inspector and Stay Alive are scheduled to open March 24 with no advance screenings for the press. This makes number 12 and 13 since Aeon Flux darkened theaters last December. You can read more about this in a long story I wrote for the Oakland Tribune, but basically this trend is hacking away at the state of cinema in three distinct ways. 1) It shows a serious contempt not only for critics, but for audiences; by unleashing this unholy crap, they're biting the hand that feeds them. 2) Studios ought to be embarrassed by the low quality of movie they're making, but instead they're laughing all the way to the bank, encouraged by how many people still see these bad films -- even without reviews. 3) Perhaps worst of all, they're taking away one of the great pleasures of bad movies, the snarky, funny, vicious negative movie review.
Fight back. Don't see these bad movies.

I definately will NOT see Stay Alive. I was deeply insulted by it.
