Subject: Endgame trailer
Today I was sorting thru some old tapes I'd recorded from tv and
am going to transfer to DVD. The plan was just to do some quick
checks to see where things were on the tapes, but not actually
sit and watch them. That didn't last long once I got to a tape
of old music videos and such and got pulled into watch some old
Limahl/Kajagoogoo things. (yes I admit I still like some "80s
music".) I lost a bunch of time to that but eventually made it
to another tape that had some AP and Highlander things. Again
instead of just doing a quick look thru that I ended up watching
some of the `Dark Shadows' remake with AP and Michael T. Weiss.
So I still wasn't getting very far in terms of tape sorting...
until I got to the HL- Endgame promo things. Those I had no
problem turning off. I know some of you liked Endgame, but I
think even those people would admit some of that was pretty
bad. The thing were where AP and CL were at some WWE wrestling
match with the wrestler who was in Engame. The AP interview on
Vibe where some woman came out and interupted Sinbad trying to
interview him. And of course the Endgame trailers with footage
that had nothing to do with the movie.
The Endgame trailer did make me wonder what type of trailer (if
any) they'll come up with for The Source. Since they created the
extra sifi footage for the Endgame trailer, they could do just
about anything for The Source knowing it will never be in the
movie. I have no idea what that blob-like creature is on the Source
part of the official HL site, but given the misleading Endgame
trailer, maybe it's more of the same. Unlikely, but that thing is
just odd. (even if they're going even further into the sifi realm.)
Did any of you ever hear an `official' answer to why they created
the fake trailer footage for Engame? I know there was a bunch of
discussion on the list about it at the time, but don't remember
if anyone found out why they did it. (short of putting it in to
confuse people and distract them from the plot holes in the movie.)
