, trust me, this will come to be seen as merely a dry run for some studio to try to drop a Monday, post-weekend-of-release embargo.</p>
<p>That’s crap. Studios have every right to decide how they want to screen their films for legitimate critics — even if it’s somewhat frequently a source of consternation — and the dance of requested embargos (particularly for online sites) is a ritual every bit as clouded as high school dating. <b>But once the product is released to the marketplace, you cede control over managed dissection of it. Period.</b> To attempt to suggest otherwise is not only silly, but arrogant as well.</p>
