“Dear Mark Wahlberg,
I have been a fan of yours for many years, probably since your break-out performance in Boogie Nights. I saw Three Kings three times in the cinema, and you were fantastic. In my household, yours is a name not to be slighted. I have defended you on many occasions and would like to keep doing so, but you’re making my job very difficult as of late. We are all aware of what a shambles The Happening turned out to be, and that’s okay, you know, everyone makes mistakes. Being in one bad movie every now and then is alright – ask Michael Caine – but imagine my soul-destroying disappointment when the first reviews of your latest film, Max Payne, started rolling in. Another critical bomb in the space of six months? I knew I had to take action, and that is why I find myself writing to you here. The pen is mightier than the sword, Mark Wahlberg, and the keyboard is like the machine gun of pens. I hope you understand that I’m doing this for your own good.” —The Empire Blog: Film Rants, Raves and Randomness
