''Bubbleboy'' Burnout

In My Humble Opinion
1

We are now two weeks away from the premiere of this movie, and I am already tired of it.

For the past three weeks, I have been bombarded by commercials for this movie. I have been subjected to that stupid 90s song that accompanies the commericals as well (you know, the one that says ‘don’t give up’ and ‘you have a reason to live’?).

What I want to know is, why are these commercials being run ad nauseum on my TV?

Personally, I wouldn’t go see this movie anyway. Any movie that tries to carry itself by using one sole site gag (namely the bubble) is doomed to failure IMHO.

Is anyone out there even remotly interested in watching this movie? Isn’t everyone burnt out on this movie already?

The mother of a child who actually lived in a plastic bubble is calling for a boycott of the movie. You can read about it here.

I personally think that a movie like this is in extremely poor taste, and I plan not to see it.

"Seinfeld’ already did a show on the subject and, bad taste aside, the bit ran out of gas before the 1/2 hour was up. Still, it does have Fabio in the cast, so I’m expecting great things.

Moops!

Uh… insert a joke about geese and collisions here.

On a similar note, I can’t wait for “Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back” to open so that it can GO AWAY. I am so tired of seeing commercials for it.

7

And I’m terminally sick of commercials for “American Outlaws”. I can’t tell you how much I want this movie gone!

8

Just wait until they start advertising for the new *NSYNC movie to come out.

I feel so entirely out of touch…

I haven’t seen an ad for ANY of these movies.

Not a one. So it’s kinda hard for me to be sick of them.

Moors!

Jonathan, you’re not the only one. I haven’t seen
one ad for any of these movies either. I think
these folks watch too much TV!

Peter Gabriel’s “Don’t Give Up”? Stupid? Are you mad?
That’s one of the greatest songs…well…EVER! You can’t
get much more Food of the Gods-like than Peter Gabriel
and Kate Bush together. And it’s being used in a silly
commercial for a silly movie…sigh.

“Bubble Boy” may not be long for this world.

It’s not the Peter Gabriel song, rather, it’s an entirely different one. It’s called “You Get What You Give” by The New Radicals.

I just saw the ad for the “Bubble Boy” movie last night.
This movie will suck harder than a force five tornado.

I especially love how they only have one commercial for this movie, too.

And I’ve mentioned this in another thread, but I’ve been seeing a lot of ads for this movie staring the ugly monkey-boy from SNL (Corky Romano, I think)–the film doesn’t open until OCTOBER!!!
