Fascinating to see the marked contrast between social media reactions to early Wicked For Good screenings, and actual reviews. Reminds me of Batman V Superman all over again!

I dunno, buddy, maybe if it didn't encourage young folks to kill themselves, or drink all the potable water, or pollute the Infoverse with fallacies, or add glue to recipes, or be that guy who lies rather than admits a mistake, or, and this is important, buddy, or IF WE WERE GIVEN A FUCKING CHOICE!

This show will not disappoint: Simon is more passionate and knowledgeable about the magic of the movies than anyone I know.
Folks, I really need some help. For the last 10-15 days, I've been pretty much out of action, which has put me two weeks behind on promoting my Film Stories 500 show in London next week.
I'd be grateful for any help/support in getting the word out.
Thank you.
