Went to a movie theater and saw a trailer for a movie where I was interested in the first 30 seconds of it, but the trailer then showed what looked like something probably from the last 10 minutes and spoiled the entire movie, so lost all interest.
So what movies come to mind as having done really good, where it makes you interested and gives you an idea of the movie, but doesn’t ruin any big reveals?
It’s been years since it was released. If you haven’t seen it at this point then saying *spoilers! * can only be seen as sarcastic.
You might wanna use a /s
So everyone oughta see it right away or they don’t deserve to see the thing were praising here?
What about those too young to see it when it was released?
Empathy is what I’m asking for here.
I mean, I sorta get where you’re coming from, but it’s also unrealistic. So no movies can ever be discussed on the internet without spoiler tags? What would the cutoff be? Ten years? In my experience after like a year, people who care about spoilers have seen it already. Everyone else maybe would get around to seeing it, but expecting the rest of the world to cater to that is unreasonable.
You’ll never guess who Luke’s father is!
Did you hear what happened to that Jesus fellow?
Luke Duke? I know he has a cousin called Bo but don’t know his father. It can’t be Boss Hog, surely?!
Yes
::: spoiler Is having to use spoiler tags really that inconvenient? :::
For one, tons of people learn about “well known” movies for the first time literally every day. The world isn’t some static thing were everyone knows everything all the time. Furthermore, what’s so hard about just typing “spoiler warning about [x movie]” before talking about critical plot elements? Just a quick heads up to people that are being cautious about it. It’s such a minor thing to do just to be thoughtful, and people always freak out about the suggestion as if it’s some monumental task.
I mean, I get it, it’s a nice thing to do. People who do it care about others. But the flip side of that isn’t “these people don’t care about others.” It’s just that it’s not expected after a while. See what I’m saying?
You’re right, it’s a nice thing to do. But it’s not really something we can get up in arms over after a certain point.
Wow, yeah. That really is just unhinged. How dare they have said something like that? 🙄
