Okay, what I'm trying to say is that commercialism seems to be running amok. Disney IS supposed to be the evil empire, not indie horror. Oh well.

Marketing is A-number 1 right now for film companies. Some movies advertising and merchandising can cost more that the movie itself.

What annoys me is the fact that they put out stuff before the film even comes out. Spiderman, Hulk, X men all of it. Everybody is using the Cat in the Hat in their commercials. All they do is HYPE HYPE HYPE. Disney is the worst but I think that all the advertising campaign blitzs and the garbage that they put out take away from the art of film making. Dont get me wrong I have almost every McFarlan monster ever made and I love them all so I guess there is nothing wrong with it as long as the idea behind the film isnt to promote a bunch of action figures.

I wonder. It might be possible that the bomb that ends Earth will have a Disney Logo on it.

Evil Dead/Army of Darkness movies. If you haven't seen them, it's in your best interest to check them out.

i don't think a movie can be over merchandised as long as it deserves it and evil dead definatly deserves to be over everything.

Apparently quite a few of our posters. Several people on here have asked about them. Crazy, I know.
