"This is likely a fabricated scandal designed to promote the movie. There is no good publicity or bad publicity, there is only publicity. Ryan Holliday wrote an informative book on the subject if anyone wants to learn more about how these "stealth" PR campaigns are designed."

^crossed my mind but why would Juan put himself out like that personally? for exposure? Also if this was fabricated you'd think they would come up with something more flattering for Spike Lee and the movie rather than exploitative and loath worthy.
What I think is the real case is that bad publicity can be spun and used as just plain old publicity. Its more of a fall back response..."Lets milk this"

In any case, I sent JL a message on FB earlier, checking in to see if he's all right. Hasn't answered yet, but hopefully he's getting on OK.

'he has no reason to be embarrassed'
Not embarrassed, no, but he might actually _need_ to be in radio-silence mode legally, now. The penny's dropped, and he's probably receiving legal counsel to STFU for the during of this thing.

- or he is required to shutup as part of the stunt during this time.2002

uuuuuu
could be yes but I havent read anywhere who the marketing agency is.
- same week as the movie opening
- Juan had posted rip thread about some other photo treatment but why not this here?
- how did his statement which he posted get traction?I dont know how the story got started. It seems like it was posted on some indie movie site previously.
etc etc
Overall, movie trashed by soft opening and by critics.

Has it gone or is it just me?

Well, here's a twist. This is from the comments on the Hollywood Reporter article:
' Flipper Purify
• 19 minutes agoSpike has been hiring Art Sims/11:24 Design for all his one-sheets for years. Art Sims has been ripping off young, naive designers for years. I should know because I was one of them, and I've met 2 others over the years who told me the same thing.
Art, you're too old to still be doing this kind of crap and treating people the way you do. I was hoping you'd mature. SMH'

Why did Juan take it down?
And why hasn't he chimed in?
- 20020
I would think he would have chimed in when he first found out.

Come on Juan "Do the right thing!"

^^ Entering the discussion here would be the worst thing possible. He needs to stay quiet and carefully examine the outcome, not speak up loudly everywhere. He's probably on discussions right now with involved parties, so he probably can't say much until something is settled.. At least that's what I think.
- Yup, agreedContinuity
