Over-hyped?

One thing I have noticed about the movie industry over the years is that when a movie is over-hyped, overly praised, has commercials and radio spots running every 15 minutes... the movie isn't all that. I say this based on the incessant hype of the new King Kong movie. Radio ads are calling it a "masterpiece". Huh? A masterpiece? It's freaking King Kong! Debbie Does Dallas, Showgirls, Striptease, THOSE were masterpieces! King Kong? Please... It may turn out to be a decent movie, but a masterpiece I think not. Oh and the movie opened yesterday and earned only the 21st best Wednesday opening in movie history...

And remember, when it's right, EVERYday is a holiday. Not just on the holiday.
