What Type of Prep Work Will You Do For a Film Viewing?

[Pamp]

I ask this because I've been prepping a lot lately for upcoming films, especially ones I plan to write or podcast about. I'm just finishing the first season of Avatar: The Last Airbender in anticipation of the movie. I read a slew of Jonah Hex leading up to the film. I spent time with menopausal women to get ready for Sex and The City 2.

What lengths do you go through to get ready for a film?

I stop by the PO Box on the way home from work and pick up the DVD that Netflix sent me.



By they way, I look forward to listening to the show. I haven't yet, but it's on the queue now.

I usually just watch the trailers. If I hear lots of bad buzz (like for Clash of the Titans) I'll skip it, but otherwise, not a lot of prep.

The exception would be Watchmen, I kept the trade in the "reading room" and when I got to the end I'd start over again, and I listened to the LOD trade review.

You Netflix guys have it good. You kids don't remember what it was like before. The things we had to do just to watch a movie.

That was hilarious.

I think for authenticity purposes they stayed away from the Blu-Ray section of the Blockbuster

Hey, guys. It's Rene.

I usually just put it on and let it suck me in. If I'm in review mode I just pay attention to everything.

It really depends on the film. If I get really excited about a film I may check out the source material before I see the film. Some of my best experiences tend to be when I see a film cold turkey though. I try to avoid reading any reviews before seeing a film because usually they are too spoiler filled.
