    Default Another Dont you hate it when

    Your watching tv and you see commercials about movies and they show you almost every exiting part the movie has to offer. I mean this is just me but i see a movie to be exited, so for me there's no point in even seeing the movie. I also hate it when they say the movie is 2 thumbs up before the movie even comes out. They think just because some dumb movie critic says its,"Two Thumbs Up", means that were gonna think its the best move ever. Havnt you noticed they say that for every movie?

    I may be mistaken but I think it may be a marketing stratgey: they pay people to say a movie is good so people will go psend their cash and see it. I have never seen this done before however. I think they should get genuine people, like all those nice characters you see on infomercials, to give an unbiased view of the movie.

    I also hate it when I walk out of the cinema feeling disappointed and only when I get home I realise I only watched the trailer.

    I don't hate your threads, we just don't approve of "Who do you hate" threads as a staff.

    'Who do you want to kill?' threads are the best.

    I don't even go to the movies anymore. There are no good movies lately that I want to see. I guess I'll have to wait until Pirates of the Carribean 2 or Spiderman 3 for a good movie, everything these days are BAD sequals and remakes. At least these look like good sequals. Spiderman has never let me down.

    Doncha' hate the fact that Hollywood and music can't even be slightly original anymore. They went from sampling everything in sight to just becoming lazy and remaking everything.

    *gasp* You hate X-Men?

    Event Horizon, Sin City, Peter Pan (not the cartoon), Star Wars: The Phantom Menace, Star Wars: Attack of the Clones (only interest being Jango Fett, whom they killed off), Star Trek: Insurrection, The Fifth Element, Tomb Raider, Escape from L.A all did this

    This should be in The Lounge.

    I think we need to hear <i>some</i> information about a movie before seeing it, otherwise how will be know that we even want to see it? Too much information is not good though and will end up ruining the experience.

    What most people seem to have missed, is that the current trailer footage for FF7:AC runs to about 20 minutes, when the "film" itself is under an hour, what's the point in that?

    I mean, I'm not even going to watch the trailers for it, let alone the end product, but it's still hopelessly stupid, and things like that happen for far too many films these days. ESPECIALLY when they spoil a huge and key point of a film through a trailer, or sneak preview footage, it just gets wearing.
