I haven't seen any of the commercials, but I keep hearing ABOUT them - local radio DJs talking between songs about how much the ad space costs this year, stupid suggested "articles" that are worthless empty nothing probably written by AI about hype around an ad, twenty different people reposting OMG THERE WILL BE A NEW BUDWEISER AD WITH THE CLYDESDALES as if it were an entry into a beloved franchise...

That Cetaphil one sounds horrid, though.

But fucking thank you. The whole "you just watch it for the ads, tee hee!" thing feels like such a weird thing. I hear it everywhere, yet it feels so... weird and hollow. They're just... commercials. I've never known anyone who ACTUALLY "watches it for the commercials", but everyone SAYS it's a thing. I don't know.
Same as fucking "elf on a shelf" at Xmas, being treated as some beloved generational tradition. NO IT FUCKING ISN'T.

I had not heard that Conjuring 4 was definitely the last main film! Though I know there were a couple planned spinoffs that haven't materialized yet (The Crooked Man?), plus the Annabelle and Nun side series.
I hate how you can't reliably watch a whole franchise anymore because of the way they get passed around and divvied up on streaming. I think I've seen everything in the Conjuring "universe", though not necessarily recently.

But oh, I remember you mentioning the thing about the house being purchased with the aim of selling "haunted" experiences or whatever. Sounds RIFE with drama!
