One of my earlier Hero Worship columns was Are We Ruining Moves For Ourselves?, discussing the idea of overanalyzing early promotional material for the movies we are most looking forward to. Back then, I was talking about the first images of Henry Cavill’s Superman and Anne Hathaway’s Catwoman (I know, right?). But looking back at that piece, it’s sort of like stomping on a few random ants but never bothering to take out the ant hill. Over analytical fandom is just a symptom of a larger epidemic.
Fight For Paradise Review: This reality show is nothing new but there are so many uncomfortable moments that will definitely give you the ick.
Bros Review: The series, as the title suggests, is about two adult men who want to behave like children and we are not here for that.
Going Home With Tyler Cameron Review: This is a simple, no-nonsense but cliched watch, with Cameron's boyish charms taking centre stage.
Actually, it's the directors who ruin movies, not the fans.
The fans didn't hire Ben Affleck to play Batman.
If you are going to let a couple spoilers ruin a film or you was it really a good film to begin with?
Totally agree with this article. Some of the most enjoyable movies ive seen were when i knew nothing about them. High expectations and hype from marketing (done largely to capture an audience for financial gain) ruin your viewing experience. Trailers usually always spoil a few of the good scenes just so they can bring in more people and make more money. The industry wouldnt exist without it though unfortunately
I actually think this is an interesting talking point for a good discussion. I've been overly hyped up by the marketing machine myself only to be left feeling a little underwhelmed by what I just saw.
