The analogy doesn't work. A movie preview *is* a compilation of scenes from
an entire film with a single thematic vision....or in the case of the new
"Vacancy" ads, they show the entire movie using fast edits.
I regularly judge whether I will see a movie by its preview because one
thing a good OR bad movie preview will show is whether the actors and the
subject matter are interesting enough to lure me in. The movies "Blood
Money" and "The Departed" were passes for me as I wasn't remotely moved by
either the casting or the subject matter of either regardless of whether
there was a substantial plot or good acting. Everyone's mileage varies.
A song from an album on the other had is merely ONE of those scenes....and,
obviously, isn't reflective of the whole album because, unlike movies, most
albums AREN'T thematic (not these days anyway).
> love the tune
> it Sounds like an actual single to me
the analogy works for me because there are many times a preview will look corny
and I'll dig the movie
I was responding really to what felt like a pre mature emaculation
I completely agree w your conclusion about his great singles and not nearly as great albums
for me that's what made that band he used to be in so spectacular
The Beatles Are Gods Get Over it.
