Nice to see Kelly Reilly is continuing her "slither in and out of scenes like a lizard person" walk that she perfected in True Detective. Seriously once you notice it you can't unsee it. What is wrong with that woman's posture?

I don't understand why, if you're making a ridiculous sequel like that, you wouldn't just call up Paul Scheer and say "Hey, we need a script that comes in at under a million dollars, and we can pay you very little, but you get to write Kindergarden Cop 2." I'm pretty sure he'd jump at that.

Or a dozen other young hilarious screenwriters that are champing at the bit for a weird cool opportunity like that. It's not like there's any franchise to ruin, so why not take chances?

Pretty sure they've done that so they can use that clip for any pre-roll YouTube ads (I believe views accrued over 30 seconds add to the views counter), as it's timed for 5 seconds (ie, when people can skip) before the actual trailer.

Kindergarten Cop 2: It Really Was a Toomah - Arnold reprises his role as a brain tumor sufferer and his kids rally to raise money to save him. He gets turned into a partial cyborg to save his life, the government captures and studies him, leading to the evolution of SkyNet and the start of the Kindergarten Terminator spin-off franchise.

A lot of older trailers just show a bunch of scene snippets without the modern language of trailes that we're used to.

If you go far enough back, trailers would pretty much walk you through the entire film chronologically. Much more egregiously than the backlash that for example BvS got.

Yeah, a lot of things people have argued were spoilers in the context of movies (Dusk Till Dawn, Terminator 2, Child's Play) were revealed in trailers. It's almost like they wanted people to see the movie...

Carrie's trailer not only shows the prom scenes but even Travolta's death after that.

The first trailer for 1989's Batman was pretty unusual:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EyozzozRsCk

No narration, no music, not much of an attempt at a narrative, but it was very popular when it was released because no one had ever seen anything like it before. I think people paid for a movie just to see the trailer, maybe the first time that happened.

The Cameo
Jan 20, 2005


The funny part is that the trailer itself was thrown together because Warner execs were getting cold feet about Burton's take and focus grouping they had done showed that people still thought of Adam West when they heard the name Batman, while at the same time DC was getting deluged with angry letters from Batfans about letting Michael Keaton portray their favorite superhero.

So Peters had a bunch of the most finished footage from the film slapped together almost overnight and got it in front of Christmas movies in '88. There's no music because Elfman hadn't gone into the scoring stage yet.

It's a very stark trailer. It stands out even nowadays, mostly because it's entirely dependent on the visuals, sound design, and a few choice lines, two of which are the most enduring lines from the film.

They're being pretty hyperbolic when they say that, but their point still stands... revealing major surprises or plot beats of a movie in the trailer can greatly reduce someone's enjoyability of the movie. Not everyone of course, but a lot of us like riding the wave of reveals and momentum of a movie like it's a brand new thing. And sometimes when you know what's going to happen, it just takes the wind out the sails a bit.
