So I went to see national treasure last night and I really was not bothered by it problems it had a lot of fun moments (Is it me or is this a thinly veiled re-write of Indiana Jones and The Last Crusade? Certain scenes are almost carbon copies.).
What bothered me were the three trailers that preceded the movie: The Pacifier,Chicken Little and The Hitcher's Guide to the Galaxy.
At the beginning of every trailer they are supposed to be Fooling us into thinking that each film is gonna be a big budget Action film in the vein of ID4 or a Jerry Brukheimer production. When it is reveled that the pacifier is going to be Kindergarten Cop, Guarding Tess, True Lies etc... part 2, I guess we are all supposed to say "Ahhhh,,, OH OH UH, Uhhh HO HO HO HO ha hahahaah, why this... this is not a big action movie at all it is just another delightfull comedy. Bravo!"
Chicken Little does the same thing with its opener and to a lesser extent Hitchhiker does too.
Do they expect us to be relieved that the movie is not going to be a big budget poorly made action film and instead a big Bidget poorly made comedy?
Disney is taking all the fun out of Irony and I wish they would stop it. If they keep it up they might bring sentiment and pride back to the big screen once everyone is sick to death of the hackneyed execution at sarcasm.
Thank you for listening to my pointless rant, I apologize for waisting your time but I needed to get it off my chest and my wife just doesn't understand LOL.
