Soo... the other night Jesse and I decided to go see a movie, he wants to see Fantastic 4: Silver Surfer, I want to see the new Pirates of the Caribbean. I get the bright Idea to go see both of the two movies. 5 hours, a couple of sore butts, and a super sized soda later, we walk out at nearly 1 am and completely bombarded with media images.
I was thinking about the previews and the commercials that precede those.
There are ad's for the ARMY,
I mean seriously even cingular sponsors the "please turn off your cell phone" ad's. EVERYTHING IS FOR THE TAKING isn't it now?
There seems to be no sacred place free from advertising now,
there is entire departments in corporations devoted to
this ultimate quest for the new place to reach the people.
I remember when I enjoyed the previews as a sneak peak to my future viewing pleasure, but now I just want to get through them so I can sit and watch the movie I just payed 10 freakin' bucks to see.
BTW... WHAT HAPPENED TO THE $6 MOVIE???
(and don't say its still there before 6,
because I remember when it was $6 after 6 pm)...
GOSH!!!
Well on the bright side, the movies were great... in my opinion however valuable that may be.

A funny thing is every once in a while they hand you surveys at movies and ask you to take them. Most of time they are not even about the movie they are about what you remember about the coming attractions and the ads that you read at the beginning it is pretty rediculous. And we all play into what they are looking for.
