Fit to Print: Quoted in the New York Times

So, only yesterday I realized that we were quoted in The New York Times on a story about advertising trends and conspicuous and unintentional similarities among current marketing campaigns. Did I just write that? The New York Times? Someone from The New York Times, the newspaper of record, has read this silly website? And their head didn't explode from the egregiously poor grammar, unresolved arguments and questionable sentence structure prevalent throughout this site?

The article made mention of my most popular post, "Beowulf and 300," part of our Movie Marketing is Hard series, which probably rocketed to undeserved heights after being picked up by Defamer last year.

From November 20, 2007, in the freakin' New York Times, in an article titled "Imitation Hits the Marketing Business. Again.":

Welcome, Defamer Readers

Hello, all you intrepid Defamer readers.

If you're still lounging around after reading about the interesting stylistic similarities between "Beowulf's" marketing campaign with "300," I salute you. And also question your sanity.

You'll find a lot of articles about visual effects techniques (I'm a visual effects artist at Industrial Light & Magic; I was a sequence supervisor on "Transformers" and "Mission: Impossible III"), filmmaking, sound design, Stephen Colbert and "The Daily Show," Apple, and a whole lot more. All in all, just a lot of good, clean fun, interspersed with questionable grammar and the occasional spelling error.

Make yourself at home. Leave a comment, while you're at it. In the end, I just hope you have a good time.
