But isn't that what trailers are for? I mean I knew nothing about the movie Dark Knight until I saw the trailer on TV and I was like WTF!!! I got to see it! It looks awesome...and it turned out to be awesome.

For some people, trailers are enough.  I on the other hand don't want to risk spending ten dollars on a couple hours that I might not enjoy.  So unless I have the company of a pretty girl with me, I want to know what to expect when I sit down in the theater.  I want to know how the movie stacks up and not just as a brief corporate montage trying to win me over.  All the positives and negatives will factor in my decision.  You don't get that with trailers, and with video games being in excess of fifty dollars of a movie ticket price, I am that much more discerning prior to the purchase. 

But yes, Dark Knight was awesome.

 

Yeah, Dark Knight was the best of the best..

But funny thing is I don't buy games at launch or at full price tag ($60). I wait for the games to hit a bargain price and then go for the purchase. That's why reviews don't matter to me. Because considering now the game might be $10, what now factors to my buying decision is...is the game worth my time to play through. And thats what I look at from previews and gameplay videos. Will this $10 game purchase keep me tuned in.

I'm playing Chronicles of Riddick on the Xbox. It's a nice game I picked up for $5 at Gamestop/EBGames. It certainly is worth my $5 and my time.

The whole girlfriend situation well. I talk one girl I was dating to the movies, we couldn't decide what to see, but we ended up watching The Incredible Hulk...that was a somewhat movie and we enjoyed it. I saw the trailer on TV and was like. It looks okay and thats what made me suggest us to watch it at the movies at the time. $10 is a lot for a movie but it certainly is worth it, what your watching. Babylon A.D. was awesome and so was Pineapple Express!!! LOL
