I was watching David Letterman last night and this kid came out to plug his movie he was doing. I've seen some over his other films and I have to admit he made me laugh. But the trailer for this film looked intriguing. Dave interviews the guy and he says the word "like" 25 times. Yeah once he started I had to count.
Point is, after watching this guy I no longer had any desire to see the movie. He came off as some kind of stoner and I couldn't help but think they threw in doubles for him in all the scenes.
He's not the only one. I've been turned off by movies before after watching these type of interviews. One actor seemed bored that he even had to go out and plug his movie that when he was asked to set up the scene everyone was about to watch he just blew it off.
Anyone else turned off?

Haha, sometimes they don't really care about it, but it's in the contract as publicity. I know what you mean, but sometimes i notice they make the movie seem stupid even though they're trying really hard to make it come off as good. Although i have found out by watching a few of these shows that the movie even existed.

What I hate is the special features on a DVD that show a behind the scenes look at the movie. It's more like a twenty minute commercial for the film. The actors always say the same old things like "This is the most intriguing movie I've ever done." or they'll say "I really love working with (fill in the blank) his movies are so wonderful. Then there's those pretentious actors that insist on using casual names for their co-stars (like referring to Robert DeNiro as Bobby) during those interviews. I hate those so much that I don't even bother buying a special edition of anything any more because I know what kind of fluff they add.

It's just something that the movies studios do to promote the movie. The studios know that there is only a 2 or 3 week window to make the bulk of the money for a movie. If a movie is still in a first run theater after that, it is because the movie is doing much better than expected.
