| NO! I don't WANTA FANTA! |
| Yesterday, I took my wife to see Batman Begins. Which marks the second viewing for me and I'd actually like to see it one more time. It is by far the definative on Batman as well as how a comic book adaptive movie should be made. But, that aside my viewing experience was FARRRR from enjoyable. If you've been to see ANY movie in just about ANY theater in the past 4 or 5 months, you've no doubt been harassed by the nauseating "Wanta Fanta" commercial. I've never wanted to be relieved of my senses more than when I first saw this spot. I wish my brain could be numb for the first five minutes of these "commecials" that they ruthlessly play before movies now. It completely ruins the atmosphere and the antisipation of seeing a movie. Instead of anxiously and eagerly waiting for the movie to expand onto the screen, you're left feeling irratated and fuming. So when the movie starts I have to spend the first few critical minutes of the movie finding my inner peace...my happy place... instead of taking in the opening scenes which serve to transport you from your theater seat into the world that is unfolding before you on the screen. But noooo I'm too busy getting that ......that....unghhh! FANTA song out of my head. You know the media is just going on and on about war prisoner abuse...well what about this! This is an obvious attack on my senses...there is no other way around it. It's visual & audible abuse...and worse yet! I'm dropping nearly $8.oo a ticket for it. What kind of sick twisted irony is that? I can handle the little pop quiz slideshows. Those are ok. Harmless. But those commericials....PLEASE! I've almost decided to use that "Ericson/Sony - closer to you" commercial as a foreign language credit. Another couple of viewings and I'll know how to sing that ridiculas song in japanesse. Not to mention the fact that out of all the songs in the world, WHY ON EARTH would electronic engineers sing that song. I mean pah-leeze! Have people just lost all sense of reality. Umh. Well I could rant longer but there's no need to. I'm sure you get the point and if you're in anyway normal you probably agree with me...and if your a fellow 'fan boy' you're that much more closer to writing a letter to your congressman about this appalling abuse. Laters. - G |
