The least they could've done was change the font


I mean, seriously.

Wow, so true. But I guess if the Nicholson-Keaton film topped $120m in domestic numbers, the "why mess with what worked so well before" could be their approach here?

They do it with books, too. I've been noticing all these books with covers that look exactly like (ptooey!) The DaVinci Code. Same font, words in the same locations, some building as the background with cryptic shit all around it Photoshopped to one cover. And the title is... like... The (Blank) (Synonym for code).

And so I thought, you know, you study for how long to be a writer? You spent how many months or years on this book? And the whole time you either were just writing a rip-off of Dan Brown's Godawful tripe, or you allowed your publisher to change the name of your work to cash in on this inexplicable craze! Wow, so what's it feel like to sell your soul? That feel good? Fill the void with that big cheque they gave you, then!

I'm off topic here. What we're talking about is this Boxing Day's least important release!
