See my name in your local paper

Even after all of these years, and having my byline in papers almost every day, seeing my name and quote show up in today's national print ads for Superman Returns represented a first. I've made it into a movie ad. Of course, even non-entity fake people have beaten me to that (remember the Sony Pictures fiasco from a few years ago?), and in the Herald and the Globe, my name barely makes it to small print type size compared to my quote: "The IMAX 3D treatment gives extra oomph to every roaring action sequence."

But in a full-page ad in the New York Times, there it is where all the world can see it. My name. My paper. Almost makes me feel like I have actual readers! ;)
