Quote horrors: Pulse is Dittman's bestest ever!!
Quote inflation is the march! In an ad on page E2 of the LA Times' Saturday edition, Mr. Earl Dittman of Wireless magazine says that Pulse is the "SCARIEST MOVIE OF THE YEAR! Unlike any horror film you've seen before or will ever see!" I'm not sure if the second line means you "will ever see" the Wes Craven-shepherded Weinsteinco-Dimension remake of Kiyoshi Kurosawa's 2001 original or not. Pulse was not previewed for crickets, but here's a look at the next step in quote inflation: taking language from the boilerplate of Hollywood contracts. "The scariest movie ever seen in any form, media or technology now known or hereafter developed or devised throughout the universe in perpetuity!"

I agree that it won't be like any other film (nothing in the world can be exactly alike right? Not even identical twins). But the scariest ever? Wow, I wouldn't say that especially on record.
