Everything about the marketing and production of this movie fills me with great rage and sadness. Great radness, if you will.Travisnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2360996933412955386.post-27324909892201350452012-04-18T09:28:43.128-04:002012-04-18T09:28:43.128-04:00I like to hope that Disney wouldn't set up a p...I like to hope that Disney wouldn't set up a project that cost so much money to fail because sort of seems insane to me. That'd be like me paying some dude $1000 to punch me in the face then having to pay additional money for the hospital visit afterwards. I have no idea what Disney was thinking.Beta Magnushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12090196394955870455noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2360996933412955386.post-58901536265135684132012-04-18T08:18:32.071-04:002012-04-18T08:18:32.071-04:00I remember when I first saw a preview for this mov...I remember when I first saw a preview for this movie - I think I might have been the only person in the theater who knew that it was based on a book. I read the book and didn't particularly like it, which is why I skipped out on the movie. But I did notice that the preview kind of sucked. They somehow made a big, loud action movie look boring. And, you're right, why didn't they show this in the summer? It's like they were trying to set it up to fail.A Library Girlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06144279685884011943noreply@blogger.com
