Star Wars: The Last Jedi’

You also seem to feel as though you're doing nothing wrong by exacerbating a simple situation that could have been resolved with the tiniest amount of courtesy. You just keep on going instead of being an adult and being like, oh I don't know, "GEE, THIS ISN'T THAT BIG OF A DEAL AFTER ALL." Hypocrite.

 

Feel better now?

 

Yeah don't know why I started calling you that. Just happened after debating with you on religion those few years back.

 

I've been feeling pretty good all day, but I don't want to fight. I just don't like being told I'm not conscientious is all.

But since you guys bring it up. Trailers. Trailers are spoilers. They are. They tell you the whole plot of the movie sometimes. How is that not worse than giving away details? I think this whole subject of whether spoilers are good or bad is up for debate.

 

The point is never to assume. Saying that

Spoiler Alert

Half the protagonists die in a film

is a pretty big deal. Especially a film that some of us have been waiting ten years for. I don't care if my anticipation of that seems trivial to you.

It's not up to you to decide what people should be ok with knowing before going in to see a film.

 

Ugh the difference between trailers is that folks know trailers are on the horizon & can therefore choose not to watch them. Your method just blindsides people

 

It's not up to you, either. Some people like "spoilers." I know I do. You could tell me the whole plot of a movie before it came out and I wouldn't care. Instead, because you guys will cry if you find out what happens in a movie you've been waiting a whole ten minutes for, the rest of us can't live actual...normal lives where this isn't the be-all end-all of existence?

As for trailers...no, they still ruin it. Some people will watch the trailers and those people will, no matter what you do, form ideas based on the trailers. And you'll have to wade through the muck of their opinions on whether or not the movie lives up to the trailers, or what the trailers mean. And they'll make up things about what the trailers mean. I still get blindsided. I can be walking along and someone will say, "Hey, Anakin is Snokes!" So I have to deal with all of the fan theories based on the trailers no matter what I do.

Trailers are spoilers. End of subject. They spoil movies for everyone. In the old days trailers were really shoddy and movies were fun to go see. Now you see the best parts of the movie in the trailer. There is too much advertising for movies period. It's all spoilers and I don't want to see any of it, but I have to. I want the vaguest idea of what a movie is when I walk into a theater and then when I walk out I want to shout to all of my friends how exciting it was what happened in it whether there is some grown ass man standing in the lobby about to see it for the first time who begins to weep to himself because I spoiled the movie for him or not.

 

Seriously, what does it matter? It's still the same movie.

I guess I don't understand, 'cause when I hear a spoiler I'm like, "No, REALLY?!" Then I see the movie and I think, "WOW, IT'S TRUE!" and I get excited. Spoilers are usually fun for me rather than the other way around. I mean...who goes to a really great movie and is like, "Fuck this is so shitty and boring now that I know something that happens in it"?

 

You are missing the point. SOME people like them, that doesn't mean you say to hell with it and spoil it for everyone. I never said anything was up to me... I'm simply hoping people exercise common courtesy.

I can choose to watch a trailer. I can choose to read spoilers if I'm aware of them. You, on the other hand, think it ok to remove the choice entirely because, hey, you don't care, so why should anyone? Ill just intersperse my post with them without warning because frankly, I don't give a damn.

You ARE unconscioncious. And I'm not the slightest bit apologetic for pointing that out.

 

I would spoil it for half of them if I didn't tell them, though, so it works both ways. Guess you just have to deal with a little rain on your parade once in a while. A little common courtesy? Not telling those of us that love spoilers that we can't have them because some people have to feel like they're precious little angels when they go to the movies.

I can't choose to live without trailers, and they do effect me. If a trailer is released for a movie, I don't know what's in it. So I watch it. Maybe it'll be like the Exorcist trailer where nothing is given away. But instead, 9 times out of 10, it's the whole plot of movie plus all of the most killer scenes. Where is the fairness?

P.S. The spoiler I gave away doesn't detract from Avengers at all. It's kind of just an afterthought of the whole movie which is about so much more than that. Doesn't really have anything to do with 99% of the film.

 

No, no one has to tell you there not into spoilers .you just put spoiler alert. Its not hard. Sorry you can't grasp anyone outside yourself, being obscenely self involved will make that difficult .

On that note I'm out. I can't make it any more plain than I have.

 

I apologize if I ruined Avengers: Infinity War for anyone. It is a really great movie and the fact that so many characters die is really just a segue into a...ba ba bum! SEQUEL! So that's cool. Their deaths aren't a big part of the movie, though, like I said, and it's really great. But like I also said, beware taking kids unless you like explaining shit like death to them.

 

I wasn't put on this earth to look out for little babies whose lives revolve around the movies, sorry. No (bold letters) SPOILER ALERT for you.

 

You know I feel the same. I wasn't put on this earth to teach adults, ostensibly, manners.

 

We're talking about manners over a movie spoiler. Do I have to sit you in the corner?

 

Ya know... I know you posted something... But I can't read it. Looks like the ignore function still works. Damn. I'm sure it was an entertaining and pithy insult, perhaps with a strawman built in and a heavy dose of self absorbed posturing.

Guess I'll never know. Such a loss.

 

WOW REAL MATURE! *runs away sobbing with balled fists over eyes*

 

A good trailer makes the movie look cool without giving away the actual plot. Sometimes they even make it look like the plot is something completely different from what it really is.

EDIT: Oops -- "a good spoiler" should have been "a good trailer".

 

If it makes you feel any better, his spoiler was only partially accurate. It's true in a way, and not true in another way. But I can't explain what I mean without spoiling it even worse.

 

There are good trailers, yeah. I like old ones a lot better. Sometimes old ones used to try and make a completely sort of artsy, some would say "boring" movie appeal to mass audiences, so they were all over the place. You'd never know what you were going to get.

Most movies are usually cool. I think they'd seem even cooler when you watch them without the trailers. Because then, especially when they show some of the most awesome scenes, you'd see them for the first time and be like, "Hey, you've got to see this," instead of, "Hey, you've got to see this trailer."

Yeah I wasn't even spoiling. And I never spoil.
