War Of The Worlds *spoilers inside*

If I avoided movies just because they used publicity stunts to promote it then I'd never get to see a movie... outside of the occasional indie film... which isn't necessarily a bad thing. It's just that occasionally I like to shut down my brain for a couple hours out of the month, give it a break from constantly trying to figure out why other people are such morons, and just see lots of big explosions and car chases.

Besides, I really don't think it's fair to blame the celebrities for all the publicity stunts. Afterall, if the general public honestly didn't care then there would be no reason for them. So next time you're in the grocery store make sure to give a big "F*ck U" to the overweight housewife buried in an issue of PEOPLE.

Normally publicity stunts are just publicity stunts. I've gotten used to them. But getting engaged and jumping around on Oprah's furniture and arguing with that Today Show guy (who just sat back and let Cruise make an ass of himself) to promote your movie is a bit much.
