Does anyone else hate Bee Movie before it even opens on November 2?

I don't think I've ever seen a movie hyped this much in recent times. Not even Spider-Man 3 was hyped this much. All over TV commercials, buying up time on NBC (those stupid Bee Movie shorts or whatever they're called) and Seinfeld do a grandstanding self promotion on an episode of 30 Rock.

Not to mention all the newspaper columns and seeing Jerry's mug all over the place.

I like Jerry, he's a funny guy. And I loved Seinfeld, but damn... it's getting out of hand.

Only way I'll go see it, is if somebody pays for me.
And ya, it's getting to be overkill now with all the commercials and everything!

What? You don't like TV Juniors during pretty much the best show (tied with House, IMO) on television? You must have no taste.


:D :D

Why so much hate for the Sein? I thought the HP commercial with him was pretty good, and of course they're gonna advertise the crap out of the movie so the kiddies will want to go see it.

Commercials fucking blow, but remove the stick from your ass about something that if wasn't there would just be replaced by another dumb commercial. Deal with it, and Seinfeld is the king of comedy even as a stupid bee.

Yes, and the movie looks like complete garbage based on the weak assed promos I've seen on practically every freaking commercial break on TV over the past 3 weeks.

I'd say there is about a 0% chance that I will EVER see this movie.

I hated watching happy feet. A talking a penguin....Any adult that believes that there are talking penguins, especially ones with happy feet, should be shot and then hanged at a public forum with their pants hanging down.

And we shall all point and shout, "look at them, they have no testicles."


And now talking Bees?


Ok, I fell for the rabbit, the duck, and maybe even the dog. But this is just BS.

Looks like you're in the minority ;)

And if they want the kiddies to go see it, advertise the hell out of it during Spongebob. It'll get back to the parents for sure.

Well see, from experience, the industry knows that it can make low-budget crap, and hype it up enough so that opening weekend ticket sales practically guarantee that it'll break even. From there, it's all profit. Making quality movies is tough work. Hyping crap is easy.

Fortunately, I've only seen one commercial for it. No urge to go see it, but then, I only see movies in the theater about once every 2 years, and each time, I remember again why I hate theaters.

the stupider part is the trailers in the theater looked good

if they hadn't done the stupid TV JR crap i would have taken the kids to see the Bee Movie

now, Jerry S. can shove that bee where the sun don't shine. it'll go on the netflix queue next year sometime

No, but I hate how Seinfeld has been whoring it out. Guess there really is such a thing as over-advertising. Guess you gotta do what you gotta do when your shit dies not sell itself.

lmao

I like the talking fish, personally. That, and the talking toys. Pixar rules. All other animation companies can suck it. Oh, and Fox does a good job with the talking ancient arctic creatures. :D

Dude, I loved Seinfeld and thought it was pure comedic genius but this movie looks like shit splattered on a silver screen. Give me any other dumb commercial please.

They need this movie to be a mega-hit, they sunk $150M just into the movie, all the marketing is probably running another $30M+

They nead to break $200M at the box office.

At least Pixar does good movies, so they can sell them on quality instead of who the voice actor is. Jerry Seinfeld, oh, really? Well, is it any good? No? Guess I won't be seeing it then.

Good god, the TV juniors are hideous, unfunny, and inane, and they've been running them forever -- for the last 3 weeks I've been desperately scrambling for FF on the DVR at the first sign of another one of them. These things never should have seen prime time, they're barely worthy of rotting on Youtube. They'd probably fail there too, the online hatred for these things seems universal.

If this is what your projects are going to be like without Larry David, please go back into retirement and play with your parking garage full of Porsches, Jerry.

Maybe if you were a kid the commercials would have more bearing.

Many adults will see this, however; get the kids crazy about it and they will want to see it a few times and buy all the merchandise.
