I’m watching the oddest ad campaign for the kiddie movie Happy Feet: A mom is grateful that she gets to sit for an hour and snarf popcorn. Now I’ll admit that that’s the reason I like going to most of the movies I see today. But I’m surprised that is their marketing message.
Well, it beats “come get lectured about the environment by talking animals in a hundred-million-dollar movie!”
Yes, but it might not beat “Come see another formulaic, recycling of hit music played and sung by inferior musicians, marketed to little kids but surprisingly violent and dour, digital and ham-fisted piece of turd.”
“The movie sucks, but we’ve got Raisinettes!”
