Movie SpoilersOk. I have something that I’d like to get off my chest. What is with this new trend of giving away, like, frickin everything about a movie in the trailers? We went to see a movie last week and it showed about 5 trailers, each of which was about 2 minutes long and gave away all the twists in the plot. This relentless parade of spoilers included a critical plot element in the upcoming film The Interpreter which is supposed to be a mystery! Mystery as in you’re not supposed to know what happens before you get to the cinema dammit! The Yahoo synopsis for the movie A Scanner Darkly gives away crucial plot twists in that most excellent story (which, incidentally, looks like it may not butcher Philip K. Dick’s masterpiece). That movie also is supposed to have things you come to understand over time. Several people have commented to me that audiences these days do not want to be surprised when going to a movie. This is so weird. What is the point of going to the movie when you know the outcome? Although I enjoy re-watching movies, I do not want the first time through to be a re-watching! They need to develop a protocol for telling you not to watch if you don’t want to know. Maybe they could put a giant CONTROL-L on the screen or something… Geez…
