Yeesh. I’ve wanted to see X-Men 3 ever since they flashed Phoenix under the water at the end of X-Men 2. At least I used to… I don’t know any more. It seems that every time I turn around I see Yet Another Preview. Teasers. Trailers. Sneak previews. Behind the Scenes. Behind the Scenes of the Behind the Scenes. I don’t wanna know what happens in the movie, but I’m wondering if I could figure out the entire story, if I watched all this crap… I’ve been avoid all of the coverage as much as possible, but it’s really hard to do… The hype machine is really getting to be long in the tooth – it’s almost enough to make me want to wait for the DVD.
Thankfully The Da Vinci Code isn’t as bad – sure there’s hype on that too, but most of that hype is being generated by worldly religion communities and English courts: it’s more news than hype.
Trailers rock.
You’re turning into a grumpy old man, ya know? :)
A trailer is good. Actually, a teaser and two trailers are better. But four trailers and three pre-release documentaries is wayyyyy too much.
Besides, you know me: I don’t like to read the script before seeing the movie. I don’t like spoilers or reviews for the same reason: I wanna go see it with no preconceived notions :)
Otherwise, yeah, I’m getting older as I get grumpier :)
I’m looking forward to watch X-men III as well. I guessed I have to watch it before I leave for my training in another country.
Trailers are good only if they don’t show all the exciting scenes. They can just flash one or two but not all of them.
