the previews; the reviews; the gala premiere; the sneak for the reporters to write about it; the opening date; the lead actress; the director who has directed this and that, and that; the stunning cast; the monstrous budget; the magnificent scenes; the impressive trailers; the catchy lines; the touching story; the advanced graphics...not forgetting: The Title.
and here arrives another Movie.
and here goes the reviews; the stars; the weekend takings; the rankings; the oscars...(for those who actually last somewhat longer)
but for lesser mortals, in two weeks, crowds peter out, number of screens showing the Movie slowly diminish, and without warning, without a whisper, it disappears. behind the shadow of a New Release, obscured in the fog of a Now Showing.
it disappears. never to be heard again. until HBO, until DVD, until VCD, until normal TV. and it finally takes its last breath...
aren't movies such interesting things. all of a sudden in our lives, out pop this advertising campaign for a movie. the next upcoming BIG thing.
