Posted - 08/22/2010 : 21:15:52 Hi everyone.
Aug. 18 was the official publishing date for the FWFR book. So now we can really start promoting the book.
One of my ideas is to e-mail as many radio stations as possible, providing with a list of four word film reviews to read on-air. DJ's are always lloking for something to talk about to fill the gaps between songs.
So feel free to cut and paste (or write your own version) of the following below and e-mail it to your hometown radio station.
*******************
Can you review a movie in four words or less? How about "Not super, not bad," for Superbad or "Cowboys enjoy ranch undressing" for Brokeback Mountain? A new book published by Adams Media called Four Word Film Reviews is proving you can say a lot with only a few words. With book stores flooded with straight-forward film review guides and long works of cinematic criticism, this book stands apart because - as you can guess by the title - all the reviews are funny and four words or less. The book, which has been written about in Entertainment Weekly and the New York Post, costs $12 and is available in book stores across the U.S. and Canada, as well as on-line at Amazon.com and BarnesandNoble.com. If you need anymore information, check out www.fourwordbook.com. Here are a few more examples to share with your listeners. �Apes understand.

Benj and I are not divas -- we don't demand to do all the interviews. If you send these reviews to a radio station and they do want to talk to you on-air, go for it!
But if you think you'll be a little nervous, feel free to pass long my e-mail ([email protected])or Benj's e-mail ([email protected]) and we will gladly do it.
