I do know shit about this guy and haven't even seen the movie trailer...

...I just know for sure I hate the marketing and hype.

Do you not use an ad blocker? I don’t think I’ve seen a single ad. Apart from, like, movie posters. I actively avoid ads tho.

TBF marketing is not just direct ads. The constant articles or media arguments are still marketing. I might have wanted to see it before but all the discussions online about it put me off. the more something is pushed the less I like it.

All the discussions of iMax etc, I even got shown a music video made by the stars. I watched it to be polite but TBH i found it a bit cringe and i now have the feeling of go away already. I used to love cinema and movies. But marketing and hype just kills any passion i have now.

Which music video? 🤔

I still carry a grudge for the massive fuckup that was audio in Tenet.

Also there was some hubbub about this one being filmed on land that is being stolen by Morocco, so not great optics there either.
