KING BRAT

Here is the evolution of a Brat Packer:

A--Get a publicist

B--Do a “youth” film

C--Do lots of publicity

D--Do another “youth” film (with same cast)

E--Do still more publicity

F--Become mannered; begin repeating yourself

G--Do yet more publicity

H--Go on “Good Morning America” and say “I don’t like the word Brat,” then giggle.

I--Wonder why no one takes you seriously.
