[edit] Hype?
Why do you feel a New York Times critic would indulge in "marketing hype"? Pepso 17:41, 9 April 2007 (UTC)
The critic is doing his job. But placing his review in the context of an article then becomes marketing and promotion, just as advertisements for Hollywood movies use the reviews of critics in that context. It's all about context.
- I don't know how to respond to this except to note that thousands of books and magazines quote from reviews as a means of showing reactions to and interpretations of creative works. Pepso 06:52, 10 April 2007 (UTC)
That's fine, but again, the central problem is that the movie is peripheral to the subject of Irving. If a review is to be included, it can be included in a separate wiki entry on "The Hoax" the movie. Including that kind of review under Irving is something that a Hollywood Ad exec might do and just has nothing to do with the subject. Listing the movie's director and supporting actors and their performances, again, does nothing to inform about the subject Irving.
