--I think desensitization has a lot too do with it. That's why more explosions and bigger spectacles and dumber dick jokes are needed.

--I don't think people are dumb. Most of us are just really lazy about getting informed we need to have that thing spoonfed straight to our gullet.

--It's not even persuasion. It's coercion, or brainwashing. I don't watch TV at all, and when I go to my parent's place...the tv is on. My god I can't even stand 2 minutes of the ads blaring out at me. It's horrific

--Basically I am a grumpy old dude, wishing people really weren't as dumb as they seem to be when working en masse

--Well I have nothing against back stories if you are a fan of something. There are always idiot fanboys that take things too far :)

--I really think it's not just hype though It really seems to be a laziness of sorts. We can make this shit easy, and rake in the dollars if it's good or not. But yeah the hype machine is horrible

--I'm a huge huge comics guy. But, god, the crap people ask about the back stories in the comic books.. Really? Do you now need a manual to enjoy these things?

--Whatever happened to "that looks like a nice poster, lets watch that show"! And just roll the dice.

--I just think the bar has been significantly lowered for what is seemingly popular and considered "good" especially with HWood movies

--Yes! I was talking about that with a friend weeks ago. I mean. How do they make a living when people are so swayed by blockbusters.

--Woof.. tough man to please. Not exactly the audience comedians want for stand up. Haha!

--There is such amazing cinema out there which doesn't make even a million dollars, but beats the absolute pants off these big blockbusters. Shame

--Partially true, but honestly, it's not that either. I honestly think they make really retarded movies that shove the same contrived shite things down our throats bit with different explosions and dick jokes and ... the cattle that we are lap it up.

--I can enjoy that with my friends for sure, but to have that dumb shit shoveled at me after paying for it and all the hype I heard about the movie was just mind boggling. I am not going to another hollywood hyped blockbuster, superhero movie Ever again....ever
