Trailers that make it unnecessary to watch the show
« on: April 30, 2024, 09:42:31 AM »
I'm reading Edward Bulwer-Lytton's "Last Days of Pompeii," which is actually a decent book.  Apparently, there have been several movies made based on the plot.  I was digging around on youtube and found this campy 1980's trailer that fits this thread.  If you find others that are total spoiler fests, feel free to post them here.

I actually feel this way about all trailers. I hardly ever watch one to the end as if I think it's worth a watch after the first 10 seconds or so, I immediately bail on the trailer so I don't glean too much from it.
Don't put off until tomorrow, what you can put off until the day after.

There is an exception to every rule, apart from this one.

Pretty much the whole film squeezed into 2 minutes 40.

But there again the whole movie is about 2 minutes and 40 seconds long, repeated forty-two times!

Now you've spoilt it for everyone else.

And to make it worse, the radio alarm wakes him up with Sonny and Cher singing "I've got you babe."
