cannot disagree with much of Steve Watson's review of _The Raleigh Legacy_ but I can answer his question about the identity of Jon L. Lellenberg. Jon's blurbable status derives primarily from the fact that he is the literary agent for Dame Jean Conan Doyle in the U.S., where the characters [Sherlock] Holmes and [Dr.] Watson are still protected under complex legal aspects of copyright and trademark that I cannot claim to understand.
FILM CRITICS are falling all over themselves to bestow blurbable superlatives on “Braveheart,” the blood-drenched epic directed by, and starring, Mel Gibson.

I don't think it would have increased the take either but it would have been a nice gesture. Even in the print ads there was no blurb about how good a performance either of them [David Duchovny and Gillian Anderson] gave. I think Fox could have found at least one review that had a blurbable piece about the acting.
> -- Ken [de-lurking] De lurking?^([sic]) Sounds to me like you have an agenda. Perhaps to promote this film? Your "review" has all the earmarks of a hack reviewer, trying to fit as many blurbable phrases into one paragraph.
Recently, a group called Citizens for Truth in Movie Advertising filed a class-action lawsuit against the major studios over junkets, charging that because the studios often foot the bill for the journalists' air fare, hotels and meals, and even give them goodie bags filled with freebies in exchange for publicity, the studios are "perpetrating a fraud on the movie-going public." Evidence of the fraud? Junketeers have produced blurbable reviews such as "Battlefield Earth Will Rock America" or "Swordfish was one of the most breathlessly entertaining releases of the summer."
Anyone read it yet? The jacket blurb didn't do much for me, but I suspect it might not be blurbable; I really liked _The Gift_ and I doubt that blurb did it justice (don't have it here to check).
The result is Khanmigo, a safe and accurate tutor, built atop ChatGPT, that works at the skill level of its users — and never coughs up answers. Khanmigo is the best model we have for how to develop and implement AI for the public good. It’s also the first AI software I’m excited for my kids to use. That blurbable sentence would mean more if the current state of educational software weren’t so atrocious.
