Rage Against the Marketing Machine

[morieris]

What do you do regarding movie advertising? With the release of three or four new Godzilla clips (WHOOO!), I see a lot of people exasperate that movie advertising has turned into 'show the entire movie before hand~ trailers show too much~'.

Personally, the more I get the better. I dig it.

I haven't seen this, but maybe it's rage against spoilers?

Honestly, I'd take spoilery trailers over trailers that lie and make a movie seem more interesting than it is.

Bridge to Terabithia, I'm looking at you. I read the book, but not many from the younger generations did. I wonder how many were messed up by the movie because of that. Really pissed me off. (Loved the movie, but the ads made it look like the kids find a fantasy world when that's NOT the case.)

Personally, the more I get the better.

For the stuff I'm super excited about I typically feel the same. There are occasions where spoilers can 'ruin' moments, but in most cases I shrug it off and get over it. Sometimes the 'reveals' are predictable anyway, too.

Most recently with Cap, I felt there was no reason for Marvel to show Bucky's face in the Winter Soldier trailer, especially since one of the scenes in the film would be a great moment of 'shock value' for people who don't follow the films or comics closely. Even if a shitton of people knew The Winter Soldier's identity before seeing the film I felt it would've been better had they left that shot out of the trailer. (Though, uh...some woman behind me in the theater gasped deeply and said, Shut the front door, so apparently it didn't 'ruin' the moment for everyone.)

Some movie studios do better with their previews than others. I've seen great trailers that, even thoug they gave away a lot of the plot still somehow worked and I've seen trailers that just did far too much. For comedies, it can be particularly fatal because they tend to put all the best jokes in the trailer and then you watch the movie and... that was it, you already knew all the jokes, we didn't bother to include more in the movie. That sucks.
And sometimes, movie trailers can be incredibly misleading. I watched the trailer for "In Bruges" and it looked like a fairly decent comedy, not even that much of a black one. And then I went to watch the movie. I was not prepared for that amount of gore.

I don't get that complaint, since if you don't like all the marketing you don't have to watch them?

Re: Rage Against the Marketing Machine

[nightscale]

I'll watch the teaser and the first trailer they release then avoid the rest, I don't like seeing too much before I go see a film.

Re: Rage Against the Marketing Machine

I watch trailers but avoid everything else (including set photos).

I'm sick of having to sit through a zillion ads for other movies I'd never want to watch before I watch a movie. If I wanted to look at ads I'd watch TV.
The WORST example of this was a few years ago when I saw Juno in the theater. before that I had to sit through a TEN MINUTE ad for a movie about John Lennon's murder. I'm a big fan of John's and I was utterly repelled.
