I don't understand why it's okay for them and yet there's a paranoia about online critics. Eric, are you sure the worry of early reviews is the reason some distributors are wary of online critics? Could it just be that they don't view online critics as "credible"--viewing them instead as just an average Joe with a website and thus not actual press? Either way, AdamOndi is right.

We are experiencing what they like to call a paradigm shift, and they are steadily marginalizing themselves. I don't know a single person that even reads reviews in papers any more. Everyone I know goes to one of the many review websites to get their movie reviews.
