Only horror movie better last year was Mandy That's just flat out wrong. The movie was all homage, while elevating NOTHING... except for Michael Meyers' speed off camera. Also, best horror film from last year was far and away Hereditary. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hereditary was good but not as great as this board would like everyone to think. And yeah, the whole point of Halloween was a “rehappening” of the events. Michael went back to being a force, more of an animal instinct and thus became predictable. Lori uses that to flip the whole thing on him. In actuality she was hunting him. It’s the perfect way to revisit and get audience familiar again with a 40 year old character that’s been constantly ruined ever since his debut. Sets them up perfectly to move forward. Sorry you didn’t like it, maybe check out the Rob Zombie Halloween movies. They might be more your speed 🤷🏻♂️ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IdeaOfEvil Posted September 9, 2019 Share Posted September 9, 2019 Did they just spoil the movie by showing Spoiler that decapitated head? Is Pattinson alone on an island thinking he's talking to a living Dafoe? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IdeaOfEvil Posted September 10, 2019 Share Posted September 10, 2019 Yea, my bad about not tagging the spoilers (which is more guessing than it is a spoiler). But still, you're gonna avoid watching trailers so you don't see spoilers while at the same time reading a thread which specifically is made to show and talk about the trailer???

I mean you're right but quite often on this forum, further information on the same release may go into a previous trailer thread etc. In other words, I'll check any thread on a movie/game I'm interested in because often the conversation and/or info in it won't be specifically about the trailer for example.

Kal-El814 Posted September 12, 2019 Share Posted September 12, 2019 Or we could all lean into the notion that spoilers are something to be completely indifferent to. It’s a better way to live. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Depends on the type of story it is. This particular example, at least for me, right now lives on a certain amount of surprise for my first viewing. It's not a big deal at all and I'm honestly only still talking about it for the sake of the conversation. Who knows what the fuck it even is in context of the movie. That being said, I can't wait to watch this one, oh boy oh boy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The first time I watch something is usually the most enjoyable for me. Even movies I’ve watched tons of times. I still love watching it but the first time seeing it was the best. I’ve watched Hereditary several times and it’s amazing to me. But nothing compares to the first time I watched it. Though there are times when my opinion on a movie changes or I find new ways to appreciate it. Those times are uncommon though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s a better way to live. I mean yeah, you can’t tell me that some movies are simply better to go into not knowing the outucome. Once Upon a Time in Hollywood is the perfect example of that. I get that people are often way too spoilerphobic, and I find them crazy, but people who go so far in the other direction and say that spoilers never detract from the experience whatsoever are equally insane. I take a middle ground where I purposefully make sure I don’t spoil something for myself, but if I accidentally get spoiled then I just shrug it off. I won’t watch this trailer simply because indie movies are simply more enjoyable to go into blind. If I know a movie is supposed to be good I’ll see it regardless. But if I happen to see this trailer at my local theater in the meantime, I won’t sweat it. It’s simply a preference for me, but not a strict one.

But in general, for me personally... repeated viewings (or readings or listenings, etc) of something I enjoy are always more enjoyable the second time around. For example I can’t wait for Knives Out to come out for home release, and I know I’ll like it more this time around. And there have definitely been times where knowing how something goes has saved me the time of consuming it to begin with. So for me personally, I’m indifferent to spoilers. The effort it would take to avoid them isn’t worth the benefit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Youtube knows me well enough to know what I'm into, and spoiler thumbnails are everywhere. Not being on youtube at all near when something I'm interested in is coming out IS too much effort.
