“There are many things that bother me.” My life motto. I’ll only go over one of those things in this post though and it’s related to movies.
Current trailers are terrible. It has become more like the lovechild of ELI5 (aka “Explain Like I’m 5”) and TL;DR. The entire story of the movie is revealed, little comedic, dramatic, or meta (or external reference) moments as inside jokes are used in a lazy way to hook audiences. My thought after watching these trailers are always “oh I can guess everything that happens in the movie now” or “oh I don’t even need to guess everything that happens in the movie now”.
I’m not alone in this.
Now I am thinking if that was the point – rage-baiting me into thinking about the movie because of how shit the trailer is. Ha ha.
But guess what? I am streets ahead. I have stopped watching trailers. I don’t want my mind to be tainted by the idiotic way trailers are edited nowadays, especially if I plan on watching the movie. These trailers honestly leave a bad taste in my mouth.
I would like to return to the days where my friends and I would chatter excitedly, sharing our favourite moments in the trailer of a much anticipated movie.
