GENNARO CASTALDO WATCH: Our man who at the Oscars, or at least watching the edited version on Sky

Poor Gennaro - sure, he can vouchsafe an opinion on almost anything, but film clearly isn't his thing. Indeed, as he gives quote on Crash's success at the Oscars, you can almost edit in back the long pauses and the "err... um"s:

HMV spokesman Gennaro Castaldo said an Oscar win was "the best endorsement you can get."

"The great thing about Crash is that the film itself came out some time ago," he continued. "While it was critically acclaimed at the time, it may have passed some people by had it not won the Oscar."


The DVD of Crash was released on December 5th last year.

Do you think he understands that it isn't the Ballard/Cronenburg film?

Or indeed the song by The Primitives.

I think he meant "came out in the local cinema" as opposed to "appeared on the shelves I'm paid to stack when I'm not providing daft soundbites".

But even that was only as "long" ago as August
