technical letter the seventh: CELEBRITOR!

I wish ... whoops, i capitalized an i there ... a copy of this letter was sent but, considering where this story came from and reading about some of his hissy fits, it's believable.

The person who submitted this used to work for a 40,000-circulation paper way outside of Chicago. Back when the first "Transformers" remake movie came out, their movie critic panned it. As I stated to friends back when it came out and when I totally excited about "G.I. Joe," if you grew up watching it, they were great. Both of those films felt like a blast. They weren't totally the same as the cartoons but you can't really go by the book for a concepts nearly 30 years old.  If you didn't watch them or were expecting it to be exactly like the cartoons or thought you were going to come out of it with a new sense of purpose in life, they sucked.

MiCHAEL BAY, of course, thinks his film was the greatest thing since sliced bread.
Apparently, he wrote a letter to this newspaper where he complained about "how unfair the review was and how his 'good friend' Steven Spielberg liked it," the contributor said.

I beg all of you, if you know where this leditor ... er ... celebritor is, send it in for us to see in all its glory and majesty because it's from MiCHAEL BAY. AND HE'S COMPLAiNiNG ABOUT A REViEW iN A 40K CiRCULATiON PAPER. "It wasn't exactly the 'Tribune,' " the contributor said.

I hope he used all caps in there. I need it to be.

If there are any other celebritors, send those along as well.  Speaking of submissions, along with the promised story for Monday, I have more submissions. KEEP THEM COMiNG.
