Starsuckers Trailer

Aš Rokas Žilinskas. Blie :D

On October 23rd 2009, the makers of Starsuckers reported that they had received an email from the law firm Carter-Ruck, acting on behalf of Max Clifford and threatening them with an injunction over their film

I wonder what exactly is this filmmaker attempting to accomplish. Are they truly "informing" or merely attempting to induce guilt in people if one does enjoy entertainment and celebrity news? Most of us, I believe, know the diff between fantasy and reality and it's very insulting and condescending to imply "we" don't.

Off course there's nothing wrong with enjoying entertainment and celebrity news. But do you honestly think that 110% its your choice?
A lot of people don't realise how powerful the media is. Yeah, it doesn't make us stupid to sumbscome to it, but a lot of the time we don't realise switching on the TV and watching something isn't entirely our own choice, more often than not somehow somewhere down the line the media has influenced us to watch that, even if its only subconciously.

And yes, there are some some who are probably more suggestable, but I'd say the vast majority of us are pretty discerning. I know I am...but then I'm not a big TV watcher, so that probably helps lol

Exactly, it does depend a lot on how much you indulge in the media but sometimes its hard to get away from it! It's litterally everywhere haha

Whenever I see those tabloids in the supermarket with their outrageous headlines, I just sit there and laugh. Hard to believe some people actually think it's the truth when it's so obvious a pic is photoshopped or the headline is exaggerated. *shaking head*

That's entirely true. I don't know if this is what you meant exactly, but one example is how celebs and models are photoshopped. Girls starve themselves to look that thin ; they spend money on makeup to look that pretty ; they have low self esteem because of it and its not right. Does the media not believe that by using real models and not photoshopping things they won't be sucessful? I for one would rather by a product advertised by someone real rather then someone fake.

Completely agree. I sense that it will be an excuse to whine about how corporations are supposedly controlling the actions we choose to take.
