Person "Hey this person is in this movie!"
Me "Cool, when's it out?"
Person "Over a year from now."
Me "...sigh"
I am so over the constant hype that some movie companies feel they have to keep going to stay relevant. Yes, those two are the big obvious ones, but if I cared more about games, they would definitely be thrown under this bus too.
Just knowing "this is coming a long way way" is just... too far away. I can't care that long, and I won't remember that long. And given the state of companies, it's just as likely the thing will change and that hype moment will no longer exist anyway.
Tell me when the movie is coming out about the hype, and I'll get hyped then. Telling me "this is great... and you can see it in a week!" is more likely to get me interested and engaged than going "is that finally happening? huh, forgot all about that."
I wouldn't say I'm hype-poised, but I'm definitely hype-fatigued.
