However, there was one terrible thing we endured at the theater - awful awful trailers.
One of them (which I now present with warnings) was for "Beverly Hills Chihuahua." The Disney advertising machine went into overdrive on this one and resorted to some good ol' fashioned Cold War Brainwashing techniques for this trailer.
Basically, they give you a rhythmic beat and the words "chihuahua, chihuahua" repeated over and over and over and over and over and over and over again until there is nothing left in your mind.
When the trailer ended there were children in the theater still chanting "chihuahua, chihuahua, chihuahua, chihuahua."
It freaked me out.
To illustrate, here is the trailer:
And this is how I felt when watching it:
This whole thing reminds me of my rant about The Matrix
(although, to be honest, it doesn't take much to get me to rant about The Matrix) and my rant about the Disney Chip. My rant about the Matrix
is this - the entire premise of the film is flawed. The story goes like this - the robots decided to enslave humanity so they attacked and put humanity in the Matrix
. This is preposterous. All they had to do is say, "Hey! We created this totally awesome place called The Matrix! Just sign in and you get to wear leather, do kung fu, and make time with hot women in red dresses" and people would line up in droves faster than you can say "Whoa." There is no need to "forcibly enslave" anyone. Heck, I'd sign up if they thew in an unlimited supply of bacon.Which leads me to my rant about the Disney chip. One day, in the near future, the Disney company will come up with a chip to implant in your brain. It will be terrible and awful and it will eventually enslave humanity, but every child on the planet will want one and will whine and whine and whine and whine until he or she gets one.
And there is nothing anyone can do to stop it.
Just like Beverly Hills Chihuahua.
Chihuahua...
Chihuahua...
