Sony. Class action lawsuit
Well good job Sony, I bet it looked like a good idea making up a person to praise you, but now everybody knows. and we want money. sweet sweet money.I wonder what you are going to have to do to get this $5? probably still have the ticket stub, which nobody will have. unless you save that sort of thing.

"A class action lawsuit against Sony's Columbia Pictures units has been settled, and anyone who has gone to see Hollow Man, Vertical Limit, A Knight's Tale, The Animal or The Patriot is due US$5. Why? It all goes back to David Manning of the Ridgefield Press, whose quotes filled print and TV ads with praise for these movies. While other reviewers trashed many of these titles, Manning always managed to find something fantastic or amazing about the films. The problem?
He doesn't exist. Colombia Pictures made him up."
