Yeah, I've even been avoiding the TV spots. I've been hyped for too many films over the past couple years that have ended up leaving me severely disappointed.
A NEW GAME BEGINS
Might actually get to see a non-IT horror film in theatres. It seems like it could be really good, but also a movie that could just as easily do everything wrong. I'm so distrusting of horror films, but they've been pretty good lately...

It Comes at Night was fantastic. I've watched it three times. It's just not a horror movie like it was marketed to be. It's a drama with thriller/horror elements.

ICaN is bleak and brutal and the message I got from it was quite dark. It borders on being unpleasant but I do think it is worth a watch. People complained about the ending but I found nothing wrong with it. It might have also helped that I saw no trailers for it before seeing the film itself.
Yup. Going into a film with no preconceived notions is a boon in this age of social media onslaught. Too bad it's a luxury that's rarely afforded, there's simply too many channels with which commercials and information seep through.
Any king fan has to see Ready Player One. It is brilliant. And... all I can say. You need to see this movie!!!

My rule is to watch a teaser and the first main trailer for any big movie. Which is why I never post any trailers in the trailer thread that are #2 and #3 and so on. For instance, I have actively avoided all Infinity War trailers and TV spots after the initial main trailer came out.
I wish movies would do more teaser trailers, and leave it at that. It'd be cool if they never even released a full trailer.
I know we've talked about this but Hitchcock would often do all new material in his trailers that wasn't even in the film. That would be a nice change. Horror movies in particular really get ruined by trailers.
So I finally watched The Room. Initially after watching it, I was a bit surprised by the cult status that it's gotten. It was no Troll 2 or Birdemic, in my opinion. It was bad, don't get me wrong, but it lacked that "good" badness that I love in horribly bad movies. The acting was atrocious, and there were some funny moments, but I wish there were more, because I was completely bored by it.
Then I watched The Disaster Artist, and maybe I have a little more respect for the movie now. There was definitely a lot of heart that was put into that movie. I never would have guessed that Tommy and Greg were close friends in real life. I thought it was very odd that they were best friends in the movie because it didn't seem like these two people would be friends in real life, but apparently I was mistaken. As for The Disaster Artist movie, I loved it. James was excellent as Tommy. I never knew anything about Tommy beforehand but now I'm super curious about his life and how on earth does he seem to have so much money? I especially loved the parts at the end where they showed a side by side of the original movie and their reenactments
Might be taboo of me to say but I totally think Franco deserved an Oscar nomination and probably the Oscar itself.
Birdemic
It wasn't just the misleading marketing and the misleading trailer. It was the very name of the film. When you name your film It Comes at Night, you're asking the audience to ask a few questions. When you don't pay that off is where I get disappointed.
Besides, The Last of Us deals with similar themes and puts this film in the ground.
