the manchurian candidate

According to Henry Copeland, a major movie studio has started using Blogads to promote a film. This is a first, apparently.

Of course, I’m going to take full credit for beating them to it by a few months, when I shamelessly promoted my friend Dave’s film, Young Adam, starring Ewan McGregor etc etc etc.
(Here’s my earlier article from last March: “10 Tips For Professional Movie Blogging”, if anybody’s interested in this kinda stuff)
Nice to see Blogads working (I always said they would, Heh). The only drawback for me is it’s made advertising on Adrants awfully expensive. Oh, well…
A blogad on Adrants is now $200/mo. That’s TEN TIMES what it was a year or two ago. I’m delighted for Steve Hall, I have to say.
