Hiya, Fluffsters!
So, this post is kinda building off of yesterday’s review of “The Martian”. Sortof. Not really. Ish.
Anyway. So, as I did see “The Martian” in the theater, I also got to see the trailers that went with it.
And one of the fun things I like to do is try to figure out what the target audience of the movie is, based on the trailers that get shown. (If you see “Spongebob” ads, for example, you can be pretty sure you’re in a movie for little kids.) Of course, if I think I know what the target audience is for a movie, it’s also fun trying to predict what the trailers are going to be.) Anyway, I was totally off on my guesses for the trailers. I thought I knew what the target audience was going to be, since I’d heard about the movie from nerdy-geeky-sciency folks. So, I expected something like a Star Wars trailer, maybe a Hunger Games trailer, and probably other big name movies that I’d heard of.
I’d forgotten that “The Martian” is more accurately described as a “Disaster” / “Survival” film. I mean, that is its genre. But given who I’d heard about it from, I’d just… forgotten.
So, yeah. I realized that after the trailers included one about a new Moby Dick movie adaptation (WHAT?!), something called “The Revenant” which is some sort of survival thing, and something else that was also a survival/disaster flick.
Just other fun things. Yup.
Anyway, happy Friday! I hope you have an excellent weekend!
