Love the blog but do not understand the title “In The Days of Film Flacking.” This seems to indicate flackery has disappeared along with the high button shoes. Whut do you think the “Oscars” represent? It’s old time flackery at its best, or worst. Simply a p. r. job to get the great unwashed into the theaters. I wonder if all those starlets with plastic body parts can get them insured??? But perhaps we are too cynical.
