	To Kill a Mockingbird Book Notes Summary by Harper Lee: Quotes

	Quote whore - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		"Quote whore" or "blurb whore" is a clearly pejorative term used by some movie reviewers to describe other critics who provide reviews well in advance of a movie's release and whose reviews are uniformly positive.
		Many "quote whores" are perceived as sharing positive, quotable reviews in exchange for free junkets, food, movie-related trinkets and other items of value—or, indeed, free advertising for their own publication.
		One reviewer who was widely labeled a quote whore was David Manning, whose quotations often appeared on promotional posters for Columbia Pictures.

		Like the Quote Whore (here), who is basically a publicist that will right something nice on his blog about pretty much anything.
		The quote whores do their thing and make a point release sound like the cure for cancer.
		I got them down to $1000 and went for it because you need a stable of quote whores lest anyone think that you are getting too close to any one analyst.

	The Whore of Babylon
		In another tract, Hunting the Whore of Babylon, we looked at nine arguments given by fundamentalist Dave Hunt for his claim that the Catholic Church is the Whore of Babylon from Revelation 17—18.
		This passage tells us several things about the Whore: (1) She is an international power, since she "sits on many waters," representing different peoples (17:15), and she has committed fornication with "the kings of the earth," and she has inflamed "the dwellers on earth" with her fornication.
		Continuing in chapter 18, John sees the destruction of the Whore, and a number of facts are revealed which also show that she cannot be the Catholic Church.

	danieldrezner.com :: Daniel W. Drezner :: The greatest quote whore who ever lived
		In the University of Chicago Alumni magazine, Amy M. Braverman has an excellent profile of Robert Thompson, Syracuse’s trustee professor of radio, television, and film in the S. Newhouse School of Public Communications and founding director of the Center for the Study of Popular Television.
		Thompson is better known as being the best quote whore in the business -- seriously, the could be asked to comment on wallpaper paste -- or That 70's Show -- and he'd come up with something worth putting in the first two paragraphs of a story.
		UPDATE: Thompson might be the most prolific quote whore ever, but I'm pretty sure Virginia Postrel will win the award for most profitable.

	Mid-Valley Entertainer:
		He could have supplied the glowing quotes, and they could have returned home intact with their celebrity interviews.
		Just this weekend, the ads for "What's the Worst That Could Happen" had quotes saying, "A super-cool comedy!" and "Martin Lawrence is the man! Danny DeVito is terrific!" The curious thing about these quotes is that they were not attributed to ANYBODY.
		The wise moviegoer looks for quotes attributed to critics he knows and trusts (even trusting them to be wrong is good enough).

	eFilmCritic - EARL DITTMAN EXPOSED — Film Criticism’s Greatest Shame
		You might see SSG Syndicate quoted for movies from time to time (certainly not as often as Dittman) and wonder what exactly SSG Syndicate is. Well as you can see for yourself right here (http://www.susangranger.com) SSG Syndicate is actually a home-made website with some movie reviews on it.
		The ad that is using his quote right now is for the 2003 model, an action that could be seen as a blatant act of dishonesty in advertising.
		K-19 featured two quotes; a long, adulatory review from Dittman including sentences like “Harrison Ford is an extraordinary actor who gives a passionate, Oscar-caliber performance in a magnificently moving motion picture,” and the one-word blurb of “masterful” from aging CNN host Larry King.

	Jim Hill : MouseWatch: Tis a pity that he's a "quote whore"
		To explain that (admittedly) offensive term: A "quote whore" is a critic who specializes in writing reviews that have extractable quotes.
		Look to quotes that the narration attributes to "critics" rather than a specific well known critic, or large quotes followed by tiny illegible type stating the reviewer's name.
		Stupid Puns - If an ad quotes a reviewer you know to be a good writer, but the quote is a groan-worthy, obvious pun you're sure he or she would never stoop to, chances are you're right.

	DVD article: The Reviewer Who Wasn't There
		Such critics are called "quote whores" and are often given special access sets and stars in return for a few kind words.
		Just think for a moment about what a better Hollywood we would have if these studios would take all of the money they spend on wining and dining their quote whores and instead spent it on better scripts.
		If you want a metaphore, think of the quote whore as Dr. Frankenstein and the Michael Bay's of Hollywood are the good doctor's creations.

	Gelf Magazine: The Blurb Racket
		The local TV reporter has made a name for himself with positive reviews, landing quotes from three of them in ad copy through the first edition of efilmcritic.com's 2005 whore rankings.
		This review is a rave, and yet the quote is tepid, ellipsis-ized, and made me suspicioius that Ebert thought the movie wasn't such a joy, beyond its visual look.
		The other quote here is from a review that isn't online, in Time Out, but what it praises raises the question of what the reviewer said about other, more-important aspects of the film: "Excellent performances...

		Real critics (and by that I mean those who are not outright Junket Queens or Quote Whores who either provide studios with punchy phrases to choose from or simply sign off on blurbs pre-written by the ad departments themselves) have to keep an eye out for how their words are used or misused.
		Childress is, of course, being (understandably) snarky in his comments, but he's absolutely right about the damage the Quote Whores do to the credibility of critics -- and movie ad campaigns in general.
		The countdown is on again for the Whores of the Year, a race that went down to the wire producing another Top 10 list and another year of disgrace.
