		<description>I&#039;m pretty sure that Bad Monkey was responsible for putting all those faces on the sidewalk like that.  Just sayin&#039;.</description>

		<description>&quot;If you’re not rolling your eyes already, then maybe this is the movie for you.&quot;

Um, yeah. That&#039;s me over there laughing in my cubical at the B.L.O.W. M.E. joke. Yes, I realize I have the sense of humor of a 10 year old, and I&#039;ve come to grips with that.

That&#039;s the thing with comedy though, it&#039;s the most subjective artform (yes, I called it art) in the world. I know people who think &quot;Tim and Eric&#039;s Awesome Show, Great Job&quot; is the greatest show in the world, but I think it&#039;s pretty stupid. And I&#039;ve been in my fair share of arguments about why &quot;The Office&quot; is no where near as funny as &quot;My Name is Earl&quot;. And apparently Dane Cook is a comedien, but find me a joke of his I&#039;ll laugh at and I&#039;ll congratulate you. But that&#039;s just my taste, and I can understand that people find different things humerous than I do. Hey, you know what I do when I don&#039;t think somethings funny? I don&#039;t bother with it.

As for viral marketing for &quot;the Love Guru&quot;, does this movie really need it? It&#039;s a populist comedy aimed at Mike Myers fans. At this point, you&#039;ve probably made up your mind if you&#039;re going to see it or not. It seems like viral campaigns are becoming par for the course on any movie, but the reason they made an impact for projects like &quot;Blair Witch&quot; and I guess &quot;The Matrix&quot; (did they have a viral campaign, seems like they would?), and &quot;Cloverfield&quot; is because they were new and unique and brought the right kind of attention from the right kind of audience. Putting a few weird posters on a wall, a scribble on the ground and a goofy webpage up is not going to draw interest. 

Anyway, that was more long winded than I planned, and it&#039;s time for me to go home anyway.</description>

		<description>I heard this film isn&#039;t going down well with the BFI and they wont allow it to be shown with there name. that doesn&#039;t give me hope to the stereotyping of the film.

Mike Myers needs to create a Austin Powers/Wayne Campbell Character.

I will wait until the reviews come out to see how bad this is, the bad jokes in the trailer didn&#039;t help either.</description>

		<description>No.  That&#039;s the short answer.  This won&#039;t work.  It&#039;s not Cloverfield.  It&#039;s not Ironman.  It&#039;s definitely not The Dark Knight.  These are viral campaigns that worked (or will work) magic for box office numbers.

The Love Guru will fail uberly.</description>
