Speculation Spoilers in the Trailers?

I will watch the trailer until my eyes bleed.

 

I was about 6 when ROTJ came out and all of our "spoilers" were the kids in my class who had seen the movie before the others. Nowadays the kid lording his information over you about a movie you haven't seen has been replaced with caterers on set tweeting out pics of Thor fighting a mo-cap Hulk, disgruntled Production Assistants "leaking" scripts, or just s simple google search. Seeing The Avengers in the theater for the first time was the second time I had seen it after all the information I saw. I will also never forget not being able to resist reading reviews from overseas of Prometheus which came out a month earlier there than in America. I still enjoyed the movies, but sometimes I wish I wasn't so weak. Information is a drug to most humans which is why our very best inventions (computers, the Internet, etc.) revolve around it.

The only way to avoid this stuff is to become Amish, and even then I'd be driving my buggy and horse really slow by any window display with a TV in the nearest town in case a trailer popped up.

 

Glad I was not the only one - not my proudest moment...
Staying spoiler-free is going to be hard enough, so I definitely will be watching and dissecting the trailer frame-by-frame, at least

 

Will I avoid trailers? I went to the theater to watch Wing Commander just to see the TPM trailer. If I'm willing to subject myself to that I am certainly not avoiding trailers now.

In depth spoilers? Yes I'll avoid those. Trailers? No.

 

For my money, that's the best movie trailer bar none. I think of it every time I watch ANH now. And no, I didn't have the willpower to refuse watching it (like many others, I too, taped the OC - shudder.) I can only beg the powers that be to not give anything away in the trailers. Please? I can't help myself - I need my fix man!

 

I don't mind the trailers, they show you enough without spoiling anything. It's the internet that spoils things for me and that's what I try to avoid. When VII finally gets released, and after I've seen it, is when I'll be back on Episode VII forums.

 

I went to see Monsters Inc. just to see the AOTC trailer. It was worth it just to see 2 seconds of Jango Fett flying.

 

I wet myself watching that. Just now.

 

It takes on new meaning when you know VII is coming doesn't it ?

 

The trailers are the best part about the wait...

 

I really don't understand people that are ruined when they see trailers. Unless you somehow read the film script, or read the novelization, or a tie in comic, you don't know what happens when...

 

I really want to see the film the phantom menace trailers advertised. I can't even sit through the prequel trilogy. They're so bad they're bad.

 

I will watch the first trailer, but that's it. I've never understood this idea of releasing several trailers for one film. As if one modern three minute trailer doesn't spoil enough!

I must have watched that trailer multiple times before ROTS came out. I still watch it on occasion now. Though i think it should have ended after 1:15 and gone to the credits.

 

I usually watch a trailer right before I watch any movie because it inspires me to watch the film.

 

For the ESB movie there was no hint of who Yoda was at all or that he was in there. That is amazing. They need to do something like that again. Maybe with the Big 3? They do need to cut down on the scenes later in the movie that are in the trailer. The Two Towers trailer for example has so much from Helm's Deep it isn't funny. Keep us in suspense for the finale scenes

 

I do think that they should try harder with the Disney trilogy to keep some sort of spoilers. I gotta admit that I like the RotS teaser trailer better than the actual trailer since in a trailer's case, I think less is more. Although, in the Disney trilogy's case, it'll likely be easier than with the prequels to protect against spoilers since the prequels had a foregone conclusion, making it much easier to have fan speculation turn out to be true.

 

I've been asking myself what will be the point in time when I should stop visiting the forums. Perhaps when filming starts or when casting begins.

 

Perhaps for you and other folks it isn't a misnomer, but for me it is, because it doesn't spoil the experience for me in the least. Hence it is a poorly conjured up label applied to something that is merely information about a given item. For me, knowing the information beforehand doesn't affect how I feel at big moments or any other moment in a film (or tv show). I'm just strange in that way.

 

Are we going to have two separate forums like we did in the past?? A Spoiler Forum and a Non-Spoiler Forum?

I would like to still visit and discuss trailers and officially released information without the risk of being spoiled.

 

Nonthing spoiled the experiences for me. However, i would have been even more thrilled to be surprised by Maul's double-bladed lightsaber.

Word is there will be. i never came to the spoiler forums before, although I still managed to find some spoilers without trying.

 

I'm exactly the same, it just makes no difference to me at all if I know or don't know a big spoiler before I watch something. I'm still invested in the moment either way.

 

We knew what was going to happen but not how it was going to happen. That was the most important thing to me.

 

Still get chills from the ROTS trailer

I still don't know what I'm going to do. I want to be blown away at the theater and I don't want the trailers to show me something that would have mindblown me when watching the movie. But it's the trailer and I have to have some kind of substance to hold me over till the release date
