Unqualified councilor Adam Knight has mocked me from his bully pulpit demanding to see my press passes or something similar.
I've
lost more press passes than Adam Knight will ever see, but that's
beside the point. More legitimate press passes than Adam Knight has
given out fraudulent "congratulations," but I digress.
So,
for days I've been looking in my mailbox for said press pass for
Independence Day - the Sequel - and, lo and behold, no one is getting
one, according to rumors.
Maybe I'll show up at the theater and use Adam Knight's name...that'll get me in, right?
"Hi, they rescinded all press passes to Independence Day, but I know Adam Knight."
Theater: Adam who?
JV: Adam Knight, Adam Knight. His name won't get me in? He says he's famous...
oh well, there's always my senior discount...
There have been no advance screenings, no press. There’s no press
junket this weekend. My junketeer friends have received no information.
There’s some kind of premiere on Monday in Los Angeles next week, a
couple of days before the opening night in theaters. But nothing else is
set for New York at all, and that is a bad bad sign.
But the cast did sneak into New York last week for stealth publicity:
they rang the opening bell at the New York stock Exchange. They
appeared in an AOL Build Speaker series, whatever that is. They were on
Sirius XM Radio. On Friday, there was a premiere in Mexico City.
Shhhh. Don’t tell anyone, but “IDR” is coming. The cast must be wondering what’s going on. Or they know.
