Your up-to-the-minute orders from The Entertainment Industrial Complex
Posted: 5/16/14 at 08:53pm

Greetings, comrades. This has been a largely productive week. Thank you for following orders by clicking on and buzzing about a single picture of Ben Affleck in a bat suit. It is important that such vital entertainment developments be observed and commented upon.

Right now, please begin your early buzz about Christopher Nolan's "Interstellar." Common phrases to use: "Looks amazing!," "Can. Not. Wait.", "Fantastiballs."

Again, please make "Fantastiballs" happen. We can not stress the importance of this enough.

We will return soon with further updates.

Ours,
The Entertainment Industrial Complex

It's a little creepy but it would be worse if you knew what you were talking about.

I defy you, Entertainment Industrial Complex! I will not give Christopher Nolan any of my money for his latest film, or for any film he might make in the future, likewise the unspeakable Zack Snyder!

Take that!

Do NOT defy the Entertainment Industrial Complex, Roscoe, especially in regards to the work of Christopher Nolan. Failure to support the work of Christopher Nolan in any way will result in swift disciplinary response. This has been taken especially seriously since the Aurora shooting. Do NOT mess with these orders.

Attention: Please begin excitedly discussing the upcoming Fox TV prequel series "Gotham." Please use such common phrases as "This looks amazing!", "It seems to continue with the awesome moodiness of the Nolan trilogy" and "So psyched to finally see a detailed explanation of where The Batman came from! Has his origin story ever been told in any medium?". If you think you have ever heard, seen or read anything about the origins of Batman before you are hereby ordered to forget ever being exposed to such a thing.

Once again, you are all urged to incorporate the adjective "Fantastiballs" into any and every conversation about entertainment, if you know what's good for you.

Ours,
The Entertainment Industrial Complex

Thank you for your sincere question, PalJoey.

Promoting YouTube viewing is encouraged, especially when clips are preceded by previews of upcoming movie blockbusters, tentpoles, franchises, prequels and sequels and dequels.

A strong reminder: "Fantastiballs" is the adjective to use when describing your clips. A word of warning, many of these dead divas pre-date the congealing of The Entertainment Industrial Complex and therefore are of little to no intrinsic value to us except as commercial message delivery apparatuses.

Dear Entertainment Industrial Complex,

Please, please, next time use a SPOILER ALERT before informing us which adjective is supposed to be the next trending exclamation. Now I'm afraid my reaction to the "Interstellar" trailer has been ruined. I guess I'll never see the movie now.

Words don't deserve that kind of malarkey. They're innocent, neutral, precise, standing for this, describing that, meaning the other, so if you look after them you can build bridges across incomprehension and chaos. But when they get their corners knocked off, they're no good anymore…I don't think writers are sacred, but words are. They deserve respect. If you get the right ones in the right order, you can nudge the world a little.
