Is it just me or is anyone else fed up to the teeth with all the self-serving hype about Watchmen?
The movie is based on a 23-year old comic strip, so it could be argued that with a target audience of such obvious intellectual simplicity you need to promote the film version with the subtle restraint of a ball-pein hammer, but the clueless suits guilty of orchestrating this cross-media insult seem to truly believe that a saturation-bombing campaign of endless, relentless, unbidden hype will make rational people want to pay to see more.
To treat any audience with such boundless contempt to feed the single desire of inflating your profits is reprehensible, sick, insulting and wrong.
Am I alone in being allergic to treatment like this, or do any of you feel the same?
