Meh. Maybe if movie makin' machine wasn't such a black hole these days...
Bein' sceptical and objective feels refreshing in this age of hamster hype and disposable entertainment.
Never let your guard down and you'll never get badly hurt.
Well I do find that I dont get as excited for films as I use to.. But like I said the sting of a bad movie is still there even if I don;t get hyped. I was not excited at all for Thor and I still left pissed
Yet I like to try and get myself in the mood for films and the hype machine helps with that..
As for "Bein' sceptical and objective feels refreshing in this age of hamster hype and disposable entertainment."
That is how its always been.. Only Hype use to come in the form of Starlog, Fangoria, Star Blazer, Siskel and Ebert, Entertainment Tonight, review articles etc...
As for disposable entertainment.. We need to remember what kind of awful films use to get released in theaters (Megaforce, Creature, Krull, Deathstalker etc..). There was plenty of disposable entertainment back in the day also.. And as much as I love 80's action movies with Arnold and Stallone.. I would not say most of them they had anymore artistic value then a transformer film. Not counting the classics of course....
I guess my point is... The More things change, the more they stay the same..
As for The Punisher... Man... I have a cold right now.. I want to wait a but so I can fully enjoy it.. Also I think I will try to watch just one episode a night to help it last longer rather then two or three a day.. (bet it wont happen)
