I hate movie trailers. Gave away just about every funny moment in Hancock, which was a cute film that would have been kinda hilarious had I not seen almost every joke in the trailer.

Either I haven't seen the full trailer or my sieve of a brain has forgotten it....I'm still up for Will Smith goodness :)

I lost interest in Hancock when the movie started tanking on rt.com. (I know the best way to judge a film is to see it yourself and then decide but I'm broke! :) )

The problem with revealing trailers is that, even if you've forgot something consciously, almost any brain will react with recognition when presented with the supposedly forgotten stuff. You can still enjoy that stuff, but there's an element of meh to contend with.

Actually, Gemini Cricket, the best way to figure if you'll like a film is to go by the opinion of friends whose tastes you share, and not by rotten tomatoes. This means, of course, rush to see anything I dislike!! ;)

My experience is that generally an overly revealing trailor (have you ever seen the trailer for Seven Samurai? It practically says "and at minute 67:23 so-and-so dies and then at minute 93:14 this other so-and-so makes this important decision") doesn't do anything to ruin a good movie for me.

But they do go a fair ways towards ruining borderline movies. It is especially a problem for me since I see so movies in the theater I will have seen the big trailers a half dozen times or more (I generally don't ever look at them online) by the time the movie is released.

So Facebook tells me

iSm and I are Best Friends on the movie compatability. (GC and me is no real surprise there)

BE and me, "run away fast" :D (me & Borneo, too)

and € are "soul mates"

Traci and I are a terrible match ;)

Howling with laughter!

I am dissapointed that LSPE and I are only casual buddies (GD, too) :(

Facebook is full of it! SF, you and I like a lot of the same movies.

Just not the cruddy list of films they came up with.

I may, in fact, enjoy big-dumb-movies more than you. But the classics are still my bread-and-butter.

I love big dumb movies, but some in the last decade are just not dumb enough for me! ;)
