Film School Rejects: Boiling Point: Too Much, Too Soon

    Although I would say it's different for people who don't frequent movie related sites where movies of interest like this one are talked into oblivion, I think you're right on this one...it's really everywhere. In stores, 'sneak peeks' on TV, commercials, released footage, etc.

    I don't watch a lot of commercials because of DVR, but even I've noticed that they've been pimping this thing for way too long.

    What strikes me as odd is that if they're working on the notion that the average person has the attention span of a coked up housefly, you would think there would be one, month-long marketing blitz as opposed to a six month pummeling.

    I, for one, am sick of constantly seeing the same two or three movie trailers over and over on television a whole month before its theatrical release. Maybe I just watch too much television, maybe movie studios should stop trying to get cavemen who watch half an hour of television per week to see their movies.

    I have seen the bootleg version at a friends home. I couldnt help myself. I was telling my friend that I wanted to see it on the big screen where I could HEAR and FEEL the sound effects. IT WAS AWFUL! The story was better being told in X2. Yes, the FX were not done but I love a story. This was just a popcorn flick to make a studio $$$. Period!
