Sweet lord it’s a slow cheesy news day.
As
evidence of that fact, please watch this TV ad for “Immortals.”
In case you’ve already forgotten, “Immortals”
is the most recent sepia-toned, CGI-heavy ancient Greek nightmare to loudly
stumble into theaters.
This
latest TV spot takes aim at “Twilight” fans, saying basically: “Be a manly man
this weekend and see our movie, while the women folk are watching ‘Twilight.’”
Although
it is an effective campaign, I’d have liked to see them take this idea a wee
bit further. Maybe something along the lines of an ancient Greek guy sitting on
a couch with his hand tucked down the front of his loin cloth yelling for more
wine. Maximus Bundy indeed.
Ah
well. It’s all in good fun really since both films are appealing to essentially
the same market: dumb people. “Immortals” brings in the dumb guys, “Twilight”
gets the dumb girls. Either way, seems like a good weekend for the rest of us
to steer clear of movie theaters entirely.
