Thanks to my adblocking and no-live-TV lifestyle these days, I don’t ever see ads and have absolutely no clue what’s coming out unless a friend tells me about it.
If it’s something remarkable, then I’ll learn about it through social osmosis. Other things I might notice months or years after the fact.
I’m totally fine with this :)
Compared to when I was 14 and watched the trailer for Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers about a million times getting massively hyped after having committed to downloading the high quality version on a dial-up modem.
I’m in the same exact boat, but I do miss movie hype and trailers. It was a sort of marketing I didn’t mind at all. 20-years ago I’d go to Apple trailers and see what was going on. Now I’m clueless. The article reminded me of quite a few movies I need to download.
I only knew about Longlegs and Weapons because I saw a bit of hype on lemmy. Who knows what I’m missing? Forgot about One Battle After Another, but I really want to see it. Marty Supreme might be pretty cool, but the ads never made it to my face.
That sounds like a good thing, but again, I didn’t mind movie marketing. It’s just that we’re so fucking inundated with ads that people like you and I turned it all off. Sad state of affairs.
I remember going to a movie for s friend’s birthday when i was 8 and we all lost our shit seeing the trailer for Revenge of the Sith. But all the movies coming to theaters now are shit so i never go to any movies, which also means i have no clue how to figure out when a good movie is actually coming to the theater.
