...this whole exchange is predicated on the fact that you felt "cheated" because you were waiting, just an-tic-i-pating, for some juicy tidbit of secret info on a movie that is in the infancy of its pre-production.
i.e. YOU ARE AN OVER INVOLVED FAN... "Others might have been dissappointed?"
Dude! IT'S A COLUMN ON A SITE ABOUT COMICS. In the grans scheme of anyone, who cares either way? It was a cute, pithy little thing- It made me chuckle. It actually DID go into a little detail as to the process of pre-production, and the timetable of such things. IT HAD A COBRA KAI REFERENCE!! What more can you possibly want? But no matter- let's say it failed to tickle your pickle, for whatever reason- Fine...Good, you didn't enjoy the article; move on.To vest any emotion into expectation of content, or to think that a stranger who doesn't know you OWES you more, and then to post angry, bitter, "I'm not a creepy fan who cares about the minutia of Kevin's iife; DO BETTY NEXT TIME OR ELSE" makes you, in fact, the CREEPIEST OF FANS.
To wit, the kind who can swing from love to hate at a percieved slight.
