First of all, apologies for the lack of posts this week. Matt and I have been swamped with regular office work and unfortunately you, dear reader, must pay the price.
My wife and I went to see Date Night this past weekend. The lights go down, the screen lights up, and oh what a wonderful surprise it was to see the trailers for
Knight and Day and
The Killers back to back. Why was this a wonderful surprise? Go watch the trailers. Seriously. I'll wait.
Same movie right? On top of that, neither looks very good. This instantly reminded me of Armageddon and Deep Impact. Similar movies that came out around the same time about giant asteroids crashing into the earth. Peaking my curiosity, I turned to the interwebs and found a
list of similar films released at the same time. Some good, some not so good... but I can't help wondering - why does this keep happening?
