James D. Posted July 19, 2014 Report Share Posted July 19, 2014 Seriously. I think we've been shown the entire movie in 492 separate pieces by now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted July 19, 2014 Report Share Posted July 19, 2014 Pretty much. I don't even want to see it. I just want it to come out so the marketing stops. It feels like it's been advertised for two years straight now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dread Posted July 20, 2014 Report Share Posted July 20, 2014 It's why i don't watch trailers online. Much, anymore anyway. The surprise has gone out of Hollywood. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JackFetch Posted July 20, 2014 Author Report Share Posted July 20, 2014 I get tired of people complaining about marketing for movies. Half the people I know still haven't heard of it yet. You are being bombarded by the ads because you are part of the demographic that they targeted. You watch the tv shows that they run ads on. Also, if you watch all the ads for it, they show the same scenes in all of them. You haven't seen very much of the movie. Saying you've seen the whole movie when you've actually seen about 3 minutes at the most is kind of annoying. We saw the big alien spaceships, the White House blowing up, and wisecracking Will Smith in the trailers for ID4 and yet nobody complained about them showing too much then. It hasn't changed, except now we see ads online as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KnightWing Posted July 20, 2014 Report Share Posted July 20, 2014 ^Pretty much. Also, we haven't seen "the entire movie." We've seen lots of commercials and a few trailers showing a handful of scenes played over and over again. Watching five minutes from a 2-hour movie over and over again is not the same thing as watching a 2-hour movie. Hell, we barely know any actual plot points.

Guest Posted July 20, 2014 Report Share Posted July 20, 2014 I get tired of people complaining about whether or not people have a right to complain. It's pretty bad for me to say something is over-marketed considering I don't watch TV at all and rarely leave the house. It's not as if I'm going out of my way to watch trailers either, since I'm beyond burned out on comic book movies and really have no interest in this stuff anymore. The whole genre is overexposed.

Dread Posted July 27, 2014 Report Share Posted July 27, 2014 Looks like he's in a pot that Drax is holding. But this is something that Jeph Loeb has his hand in, so it probably won't be very good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Koete Posted July 27, 2014 Report Share Posted July 27, 2014 Thunderbolts? I will tell you, one time I was saying to Kevin [Feige], we were sitting on set together on one of the days he visited and I said, ‘You know, I really want to make Thunderbolts,’ and he said, ‘James, if Guardians does well you’ll be able to do whatever you want so we’ll see what happens.

Dread Posted July 27, 2014 Report Share Posted July 27, 2014 I find it kind of fucking hilarious that the guy who wrote and ghost-directed Tromeo & Juliet is directing movies with budgets in the hundreds of millions of dollars. I'll reserve judgement on anything until I see it, but he's 1 for 2 with me so far on his official directorial efforts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dread Posted July 27, 2014 Report Share Posted July 27, 2014 I'd hope they start passing the torch, but I like Whedon where he is just fine. Keeps him busy and away from other franchises. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
