As they keep delaying the screening of the latest James Bond movie, media has taken to milking the fact that this motion picture exists in the most bizarre ways. Not a day goes by where we do not learn something about the main character and how / what / where / when something is going down in the movie.
In one outlet I counted 8 (!!!!) posts on James Bond related items in 14 days on their Facebook feed...
It is absurd. There is nothing left untouched. Now there are speculations about re-shooting scenes because the products placed by nifty marketers are out of date. Did anyone ever care? I drink Wiskey by the gallon and could not be bothered with the "unique, custom blend and the futuristic bottle " of Blade Runner 2049.
Using this from an internet search: "Information fatigue syndrome – also known as Information overload, intoxication is a term coined by Georg Simmel (1858-1918), a social scientist who postulated that the overload of sensations in the modern world caused increasingly jaded and insensitive people incapable of logically reacting to situations."
Hopefully, nobody will be surprised if this thing flops in the theaters. I don't know about others, but I am certainly tired of the things being surmised about Bond. In fact, my next book will be called:
"1001 Things You Never Wanted to Know about James Bond but were Forced to Find out During the Pandemic."
