I'm in the same exact boat, but I do miss movie hype and trailers. It was a sort of marketing I didn't mind at all. 20-years ago I'd go to Apple trailers and see what was going on. Now I'm clueless. The article reminded me of quite a few movies I need to download.

I only knew about Longlegs and Weapons because I saw a bit of hype on lemmy. Who knows what I'm missing? Forgot about One Battle After Another, but I really want to see it. Marty Supreme might be pretty cool, but the ads never made it to my face.

That sounds like a good thing, but again, I didn't mind movie marketing. It's just that we're so fucking inundated with ads that people like you and I turned it all off. Sad state of affairs.
