I actually consider a lot of movies to be life-changing! I take them to my heart and they melt into my personality.

It baffles me that The Town is doing so well. Despite watching a lot of Disney I also watch a good number of other television stations (ESPN, Spike, Food, [adultswim]/Cartoon Network, HGTV, G4, etc) and I really cannot recall seeing many, if any, ads for that film. Am I just missing the commercials or is the success happening because of the Affleck name? Guess I'll be sure to check it out at some point, at the very least on DVD.

Before every film, along with the horrendous Devil, you see the horrendous trailer for this one, plus on ESPN a lot.

Guess I have been going to the wrong films. Really only been to the theater for Machete, Pilgrim, and Animal Kingdom, and maybe one more. I've seen the Devil trailer a ton before films, but not seen one for The Town once. Also, suppose I have been missing it on ESPN. Who knows, bad timing I suppose.

The Town adverts are on ESPN and Comedy Central nonstop. Also maybe the news channels.
