A Modest Proposal

If any film producers wish to use quotes from this blog to promote their films then I'm happy to agree subject to payment of a nominal fee.

In an extract from his new book on the role of the film critic Marc Kermode has picked up on the novel use of non-professional critics to puff a film:

In the world of books I think the providers of such puffs are known as "quote whores".  The world of arts journalism is a rough and dangerous place.
