I'm sitting here, watching TV, and a Fantastic Four trailer comes up.

Hey, no big deal. Maybe I'll see it, Maybe I won't.

Then it shows the four combining their powers into one and fighting the Silver Surfer.

. . .

The fuck?

When did it become a good idea to spoil a movie with the previews? When I watched In Pursuit of Happiness, I realized at the end that I was completely unsurprised because I had seen the entire movie in the previews. I was watching MTV a while back when the shitty Paris Hilton movie, house of wax, was coming out and they were doing a 'making of' special. And the scene they were showing was Hilton's death scene at the end of the movie.

I am baffled at this. Why the fuck do they think it's a good idea to put major plot spoilers in the damn previews.

    Because Hollywood is mostly full of bullshit.
    Who knows why?

    These are the same people who can't think of any new ideas, hence why everything gets a sequel.

    Hey, so

    have any of you dudes done the bring your own computer thing at PAX

    I'm not going to lug a huge desktop there or anything, but I'll probably bring my laptop

    I'm thinking the wireless at the PAX hall will be unusable what with all the people, so a wired connection would be nice.

    Though what the fuck am I going to play on my laptop.

    Though it would be nice to have a space that I can just chill at.

    Though it might smell bad in that room.

    Though I can afford to blow $25.

    Though I don't know I don't know I don't know.

    Oh. Eh.

    I figured the dude would be divorced at the begining of the movie with the previews.

    But no, it's halfway through and it could have been a major surprise.

    Instead I was all "Oh finally the dude's wife leaves him."

    I was considering it.

    Last year the space was actually pretty nice. Relatively chill, air conditioned and rather nice. I was going to bring a case mod project I was working on, but I won't have it ready in time so I'm not going to bother.

    Oh man, when the commercial ended with the enormous flood my friends and I just BURST OUT LAUGHING.

    That was the dumbest giveaway I've ever seen, because in that movie I actually thought there might not be a flood, and that it would be some kind of humorous Steve-Carell-life-lesson-thing. Nope. Nope, nope, nope.

    Whilst we're bitching about films, I'm watching Fearless on TV, and some smart guy is showing it with subtitles and a voice over at the same time. And they have different dialogue. And the voice over is pretty bad.

    The only way for Evan Almighty to redeem itself is if there is no flood in the movie.

    And Steve is like 'psyche!'

    But that's not going to happen.

    Because they want to make sure you know how it ends before you watch it.

    The Children of Men trailer had huge giveaways all over it. It was still a good movie, but the "oh noes, the world can't have babies, what ever shall we do?" immediately followed by "well wait, this one girl is pregnant now but everyone wants her so we better run" all up in the trailer was kind of a stupid move.
