Man, that was one particularly stomach-turning storyline, wasn't it?

Spoiler:

I mean, torture and murder in the service of global communist domination are one thing, but borderline screwing around with a teenager...

Full disclosure? I didn't watch the trailer. My New Year's movie resolution for this year was to watch less trailers and I've been very good about it and I feel a lot of films have benefited from this. This was not easy for me because I LOVE trailers. My obsession with them got pretty bad for a while. As you will notice, I started this thread because I love trailers so much.

Mae's passion for them equals mine and she's done an amazing job updating this thread on a regular basis.

Not even teaser trailers? I feel like recently I’ve pretty much just watched a teaser trailer and that’s it. If it’s a big movie, that’s all you need and they’re usually far more artistic than Trailer #3. That’s why I never post more than one trailer per movie even if they keep putting them out. They either give away too much or just aren’t as cool.

I watch teasers. Of course, I also watch trailers when I'm at the movies. I'm not going to look at my phone or close my eyes or anything. You're right, the more trailers that are released, the more spoilery they get.

Loved Dan Simmon's novel, The Terror? We'll, here you go.

I agree. I felt like the trailers can completely ruin a movie. The Conjuring always comes to mind. I mean, they literally put every decent jump scare INTO THE TRAILER. I could have just skipped the movie entirely and felt as though I hadn't missed anything important.

Also, has anyone read the Battle Angel Alita manga? I have mixed feelings about the trailer but I hear the manga is excellent.

Yeah, it gets worse every year. The biggest culprit I remember was the Harrison Ford/Michelle Pfeiffer film What Lies Beneath. That trailer literally gave away the big twist of the film.

I just came here and was going to post this...As usual you were already on it. I haven't looked into this yet but is this an adaption from a book? Feels like something from someone I read...the authors name alludes me.
