There's surprisingly little buzz about Super 8. Haven't even many ads on TV for it -- nm - prayformojo Jun 5, 14:02 30
- The thing about this movie is I *SHOULD* be absolutely dying to see it... - Cuzzin Todd Jun 5, 14:41 4
  - right -- nm - prayformojo Jun 5, 14:46

- I must be watching the wrong shows. I've seen the ads. -- nm - the liioulu with Jun 5, 14:13
- The trailer doesn't make me interested. Looks like something I can wait to see on DVD. -- nm - Krusty Jun 5, 14:07 3

  - That's great and all, but they probably want people to know that the movie is coming out -- nm - prayformojo Jun 5, 14:05 3

      - Yeah, if you're trying to address battery life via rooting, for example, there's less intensive ways to do it. - TFox Jun 5, 10:44 1
        
        The main reason people seem to root is to get rid of apps that come installed and can't be deleted. - Krusty Jun 5, 11:14
    - No problem. -- nm - Krusty Jun 5, 10:18
