 Thanks for checking out this video. So this is just one of my kind of you know unscripted no notes kind of opinion pieces So I'm gonna go ahead and tell you why I don't watch Movie trailers because I do get a lot of questions from time Well, not a lot but here and there I get questions where people are like hey Did you see the trailer for this or what do you think about this movie coming out? So There are a few aspects to it The first thing is I love the element of surprise when it comes to film and I love going into films blind So majority of the time I'm not just not watching the trailers I'm also usually not reading the little, you know, one or two sentence synopsis On you know shutter or on IMDB or wherever So I'd like to go into films blind Sometimes that means I go off of like a cover art image for the film or just someone said online This film is good, but a majority of the films I actually just go in totally blind not having heard anything So I feel like that has a lot of reward to it potentially. Yes, it also has a lot of Risk to it as well where you can go into it and be like, oh, you know, maybe this will be good And it's just garbage and you're just very upset about it But the it kind of makes the hires even high, you know The lows can be pretty low But the hires are the highs are even higher when you go into a film with absolutely no Expectations not knowing anything about it and you come out with something good to great So that just I don't know. I just enjoy that I enjoy not knowing anything about a film and going into it like that One of my other problems with trailers is that they have a tendency Especially nowadays and they didn't used to be like this but over the last decade Well, two decades or so they've gotten to a point where they just show way too much and they give away So much about the actual story and especially with like comedy films They have a tendency to show the funniest parts of the film so that when you finally see it You're not laughing because you've already seen the funny parts and there's nothing else funny in there You know granted there are plenty of films where there's still a lot of good content that you haven't seen but there certainly are those films where all the good stuff's in the trailer and Then you watch the film and you're like well, I already saw all the good stuff and everything else was garbage. So Big disappointment. So it ruins the viewing experience for that reason for me personally so that takes it to Another point that I have is trailers have a tendency a lot of times to make films look a lot better than they are and For that reason it sets a high expectation at least for me when I see them of man, this is gonna be awesome That looks so cool. I'm so excited I don't want that because when something's hyped up whether it's coming from another person or from yourself Or you know what you saw in the trailer? It sets a high expectation that Even if you're you're not aware of it You kind of like subconsciously set this expectation of it at least being good and then if it's not Great or it's not at the level that you thought it would be good because oh my god That trailer looks amazing and then it didn't turn out to be an amazing film But it's a good film you still have a level of disappointment Whereas with that film if you hadn't seen the trailer you knew nothing about it then Maybe you feel better about the fact that it was just a good film and not a phenomenal film because you didn't know anything going into it About what it was gonna look like or you know what the content was So yeah, then there's the other side of things where a trailer can end up being poorly put together so much so to the point where It would deter you potentially from seeing the film because you're like that doesn't look very good But you're really missing out because the actual film is a lot better than that And a lot of times I feel like those are the trailers where they're actually trying not to give too much away So they're giving you bare bones and then once you actually watch it You're just like oh they really kind of like held back in the trailer Because they wanted people to have a better experience with actually watching the film So those are kind of like my big things. I will say that Rob zombie, you know, I should have said this in the film or the film the video the video I put out about my thoughts on Rob zombie and I forgot to say this is He is someone who actually believes in not giving a whole lot away in trailers and he actually doesn't like Movie trailers, but he has to do them. So he intentionally doesn't give a whole lot away He'll have a lot of images in there, but it's not much about actual story in his trailers. So That's a great thing. So big ups to him for doing that basically Nobody uses that phrase by the way we're raised the fact that I just said big ups That's a man Wow, I don't know where that came from. But anyway, so Awesome on Rob zombie for doing that for for not trying to put too much out there So that's kind of my feelings on trailers now I'm fine with the fact that other people want to watch trailers because there are people who like to get excited about films And to some degree I do miss that a little bit because I used to watch trailers a lot when I was younger Mainly when I was in college I started going to websites that specifically just have trailers on them to just watch as many trailers as possible to be like Oh, I need to see that film. This one's exciting You know and like get myself worked up because some trailers really are you know a piece of art in that in their own Right, you know, even if the film doesn't live up to it. It's its own piece of artwork and You know there have been times where I just watched certain have watched in the past certain trailers multiple times Just because I think the trailers are good Even if I don't think the film is all that great or if the trailers better than the film or it was just a terrible movie, but Yeah, so that's my feeling on it So I don't make any judgments on people who want to watch trailers because everyone likes to experience film in different ways So if that doesn't affect you like expectations wise by watching trailers And it doesn't bother you if you see too much of the film. That's good. It's just for me personally It's not something I like I really like to go in as blind as possible with a lot of films But you know, sometimes you can't avoid it So sometimes I actually do end up just happening to see trailers like prime example When I'm watching Joe Bob Briggs, you know, the last drive in with Joe Bob Briggs in between his two films that he covers shutter will play two trailers for stuff on their streaming service and I don't look away for that, you know, like if a trailer starts in front of me I do have a hard time looking away from it and not paying attention to it because Trailers are made to grab your attention to keep your interest for however many minutes it is So I do watch those a lot of the times Thankfully their trailers of films I've already seen before because a lot of them end up being their shutter exclusives and originals that I've already watched screeners for and already put reviews out for so or not put them out at least compose them and scheduled them to come out so Thankfully that but I do see trailers Accidentally from time to time. I don't shy away from them if they're already showing in front of my face And actually when I was going to the movie theater, I did really enjoy Seeing the trailers before the films So I would do it in those occasions as well, but for the most part. I don't seek out trailers I don't like to watch them because of expectation purposes, but I Would like to hear what everyone else has to say, you know, how do you feel about it? Are you huge on trailers? Is that a thing that you love to do? Or do you also just avoid trailers or even, you know more on the Of the opinion of not watching trailers than I am and you just 100% avoid trailers. I these are the things I want to know I want to know how people experience these and I and also are there aspects of trailers that I've missed Good and bad go ahead and put it down there.
