Publicist: Hey, wanna see this film and review it?
Me: Sure.
Publicist: Who are you? Who do you write for?
Me: Never mind, I got a link from you.
Publicist: How? Where? We're just trying to track it.
Me: You... solicited me.
Me: Sure.

Their response: 
Sure sounded like concern. You want me to be real irritated when I review your shit little movie? Here's the template for how to do it. You make me justify my credentials to you after asking me to review something? You better have just sent me fucking Citizen Kane.
Anyway, maybe their job should be tracking who they're begging for coverage.
You know who gets hurt here? The indie filmmakers relying on these people to set a good tone with reviewing press. Usually when this happens, I never respond again and just skip coverage of the movie. I mean, it's not like there aren't enough movies needing coverage. Whoops!
