Unleash my anger monkeys and have them screaming and clawing at the back of my head for days…
Confession: I was gullible to watch about fifteen minutes of “Battle of L.A” only to notice I meant to be watching “Battle L.A.”… I didn’t notice the tiny “of” in the title. All I have read about the real deal is good reviews. So I was confused by this travesty of cinema to say the least until I realized I had played the sucker. The real movie is not available in Netflix. It is however available in my local Red Box. So my question is this:
WHY DO THEY DO THIS???
There is always some alternate title that if you just aren’t paying enough attention you will fall for it. It just feels like such a rip off and I would have thought copy right laws would prevent this trash. I know the bust is on me for not paying attention but really why should we even have to put up with this? I barely keep up with what is in the theater anymore since we bought our plasma TV. So when I hear there is a new Predator movie out and I see “Predators”and “Predator vs. Hunter” I shouldn’t have to read the back to make sure I’m getting the right one. It’s an attempt at marketing via false advertizing and it should be illegal. If I ever meet the people in charge that put this junk out I am going to be arrested. I’m just curious if anyone agrees with me or if I’m just flying off the handle yet again. I’m not for yet more gov regulation and don’t think we need the cinema branch of government. Don’t take what I’m saying that far. It should just be a rule to not knowingly put out something that is made to look as close as possible to the real movie and just make this minor change in the hope that someone will miss it. I raise the B.S. flag and call shenanigans on this.
