No joke. Really. And within a day of it being possible too. Man, things travel fast on the Web. But as I checked my Facebook last night I get a wall post from my dear friend Steph (of the wonderful blog mayhem&miscellany) simply saying 'dude, you're on Wikipedia'.
A what what?
Turns out my Bandslam review, only posted on CPR yesterday, has already been immortalised in citizen encyclopaedic history. That is, as long as I print a copy before it gets changed - because it could happen. Some huge fan's obviously gone through every review released before the film comes out in the US (out here in Oz today) and quoted us all. My final verdict was the quote chosen, as follows:
"Katina Vangopoulos of Cut Print Preview (sic), however, gave the film a three out of five stars rating, stating that Bandslam offers a decent music lesson among the teenage angst. There’s not as much cheese here but be wary of your threshold." (Link #45)
This person needs better editing skills but nonetheless... THEY SPELT MY NAME RIGHT! Haha, people find that the hardest of all, funny then how they added an extra letter to Review.
This film is probably going to be fairly massive in the States because they love this kind of thing. It's actually not a piece of shit, even with Vanessa Hudgens, whose singing is kept to a minimum and the spotlight's shared.
