It's probably the single most deceptive movie ad campaign in history.
Naw, everyone knows
it's about gays. Remember
Julia Roberts
did a weird film called
"The Mexican" with Brad Pitt?
They kind of billed it
as romance, but then
film goers found out it was
"romance" between guys . . .
That was deceptive
advertising for a film.
Happens a lot, though.
Of the current films,
it occurs to me King Kong
is MOST deceptive.
The original
was fun and entertaining.
This new remake is
relentlessly dark,
manipulative and just
depressing all through.
These days, the best bet
is to skip theaters and
watch home DVDs.
Studios are like
guys after girls -- they will say
anything to get
us where they want us.
Once we buy the ticket then
they don't care if we
think they lied to us.
But when is advertising
ever built on "truth?"
