Re: OP
(Anonymous) 2013-08-18 07:55 pm (UTC)(link)I cannot answer for the OP, but since you seem really interested? Yes, it does happen to me as well.
When something is really over-hyped and the whole world seems to go crazy for it, I can lose interest before the fact and it can take me years (if ever) before I actually see it.
Or it can simply decrease my interest tremendously, even if I see it. The last example was The Dark Knight: I couldn't even see it when it came out because every theater seat seemed to be booked weeks in advance?! By the time I finally saw it months later, my urge to see it had dropped considerably and I was impressed, sure, but I couldn't understand what all the excitement had been about.
There is such a thing as over-hyping: it certainly means that our expectations have no chance of being met and that we will end up being disappointed.
Also, in my case at least, it is partly elitism, because I have noticed that all my favorite movies/books/shows are rarely all that popular, being instead more the cult classics if not downright obscure, while hugely popular things (eg: Harry Potter, Twilight, Teen Wolf etc.) are never my cup of tea.
