Inside the Truth: The David Manning Clones


 

A Beautiful Mind Part of the Scandal?

But it isn't over yet. Sony advisor Anthony Molan had to say, "As much as I'd hate to admit it, Logan's not the only one picking this up. As embarrassed as we are here at Sony over that Manning scandal, there's really something trippy going on." Proving his example, Molan stated, "Look at A Beautiful Mind and its reviews. They're glowing. And when you compare its reviews status to its ticket sales outcomes, one begins to ponder."

Adding to that, Anthony commented, "Audiences are not responding well to the film and as time unravels it's just becoming clearer and clearer to the truth that lurks Hollywood reviewer groups right now. It's just the sad honest truth."


According to Sony, the creator of the fake critic, David Manning was in cahoots with a man who went by the fake name of Jay C., which coincidentally happens to be extremely close to the Boston Globe critic, Jay Carr, which is picking up suspicion. Sony commented on the issue, "The coincidence is just too alarming. Once again, it's embarrassing and it's noticeable." Shamelessly, Anthony Molan finished, "At least it took a while for David Manning to be revealed. But here, it's sticking out like a sore thumb."

On the subject of Jay Carr, the Boston Globe reviewer claimed on Beautiful Mind, "One of Hollywood's very few really classy or ambitious offerings this year." A reviewer for Boston Globe, who chose to have his name anonymous, stated to reporters, "I work in a small office at the Globe and have to say it's very peculiar." He added, "there's an office room down the hall that is constantly closed and locked. When fellow employees attempt to go in there, security always brushes them away. And when anyone asks whose office that belongs to, silence always fills the room." The reviewer concluded, "I'm getting the suspicion that there is something the Globe is hiding from us. What they are hiding I can't put my finger on." After hearing the reviewer's comments, MPAA president Robert Logan remarked, "need any more proof?"

As the suspicion today continues to grow on the subject of David Manning clones, Logan suggests to be careful to who you listen to when wanting a critic's opinion. He adds, "One can easily be fooled. If you fall into their traps I believe the scandal will continue on for a while." Logan concludes by saying, "If you really want to be safe with your $7.50, I suggest researching under every movie reviewer out there to get the most accurate results possible. You never know when a David Manning clone may be on the loose."
