It’s been a strange day. With no warning or explanation Lee and Richard’s appearance on The View this morning was cancelled at the last minute. Even half(ish) way through the show the “coming up next” banner was on the screen with The Hobbit, Lee and Richard’s names as clear as day. But they never appeared and the ladies never mentioned or even acknowledged it. Then the Apple Store Q&A in Soho event was cut short – it was supposed to be an hour and ended up close to half an hour (as tweeted by a couple of the attendees). It may be a Twitter glitch, but Richard’s cheery, completely appropriate thank you tweet was taken down not long after it was tweeted. Weird. By writing these three things in one spot it looks like I’m connecting them and suggesting some sort of concerted plan but that’s not my intent. It’s just three glitches in a promo machine which, for the last two movies ran pretty smoothly, but not so much on this one. By all accounts the Imax screening and Q&A afterward was a huge hit with Richard interacting with all the cosplayers in his usual lovely manner.
