I agree with Manola. I don't think she was slamming the show so much
as she was making an observation. I've been at these shows and
experienced "surreal" moments myself there. You only have to see one
fawning, even weeping
fan in your life to understand what I mean. Doesn't mean the shows
aren't fun, they are. And if you think most of these actors are
"working" when they sign all this stuff, you're dreaming! They can
take home a few thousand from these shows. More power to 'em.

Dargis concludes the article with:
"However enjoyable and gratifying their exchanges with the fans,
these were actors at work. As they smiled for us, signed our
photographs, shared their memories, they were also giving us a
performance. And like all performances, they were as manufactured as
they were absolutely real."
This observation is a load of codswallop intended to give the
article an air of importance.

New York Times film critic Manhola Dargis writes about her "surreal
and fascinating" experiences two weeks ago visiting the Hollywood
Show in Burbank. From a purely PR point of view, despite her
comments, I don't think the article will adversely impact
attendance at future shows...
