More viral marketing? Yes please!

February 3, 2009 By Jon Stephens 74 Comments

Everyone and their mom knows that The Dark Knight  was a smash hit.   There are many reasons why, for sure.  It was a well written film, it featured an iconic hero that  everyone knows and loves, and it featured an iconic villain portrayed brilliantly by the late Heath Ledger.  All fine reasons for the film being…

Will we see any super-heroes at the Oscars?

November 5, 2008 By Jon Stephens 6 Comments

For years, I’ve felt that the academy should find a way to recognize the “super powered” summer blockbusters. You know, those movies that appeal to the kid in all of us. They are just plain fun. Oh sure, I know they are not “life changing.” There may not be anything special about them. Many of…
