While I'm not mad about advertising old movies with "spoilers", and understand the marketing logic to it, I do think there's a case to be made for not doing it. In theory, if I knew about the twist at the end of Planet of the Apes before watching it -- but all advertising material and cover art related to it still acted like it was a secret -- it would still to some extent preserve the original narrative. I would "get" that I'm not supposed to know about that going into the movie. The movie's supposed to work on its own internal logic and mostly make sense without that. Whereas if the cover of the movie shows that right away, I'd think this is something that happens maybe halfway into the movie at most. And when it actually happens at the very end, it's a bit of a letdown.

You can enjoy the movie just fine knowing the twist, but it does take something out of it.

Bethesda just put out this video on their Youtube channel for Prey. Is it as cringy to everyone else as it is to me? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YsNvKISFFVA Devdisigdu has a new favorite as of 17:56 on Sep 25, 2017 |

If you can't sell something based on its content, but instead rely on me getting hyped by watching other people get hyped, I am not very interested. If the hype-people are Youtube "stars" I am WAAAAAAAAAY less interested.

HerStuddMuffin posted:Celebrity endorsements are not a dumb marketing move. They do rely on the endorser being someone your target aspires to be like. Most likely guess is you're not the demographic for that particular ad, though you still may be for the product in general. You may be correct, but post-teenage I have never been swayed by "celebrity endorsement" if anything it makes me leery of the product. That said screaming Youtubers reacting to jump-scares the video game is targeting teens and preteens quite precisely.

Prey owns but it's difficult to sell it based on its content because it's not a PUBG ripoff and there are no hats.

There's, like, one jumpscare in Prey, other than mimics, and mimics are the basic enemy of the game, so they're literally everywhere. You're just as likely to scare them as they are to scare you.

[quote="“steinrokkan”" post="“476740124”"] Spoiling things is necessary because society needs shared points of reference and sources of universally intelligible metaphors. Everybody knows what happens in Romeo and Juliet, and it’s fine. [/quote] I saw a letter to a theatre critic once where a woman was pissed off because the review spoiled the end of Hamlet. Hundreds of years old. Taught across the English speaking land. People are retarded.

I'd never read it before so hearing it was about a dragon got my interest. The same day the teacher passed out the book, she gave us all a printout that today would have come from Wikipedia: a plot list and a character sheet detailing every loving person in the book. Smaug, okay cool, he the dragon. Next to Bard's name was "he kills Smaug." Seriously what the gently caress was the point in reading the loving book when we had a goddamn outline that pretty much spelled out the story? I am coming to despise trailers that are over 30 seconds. I don't need to see every loving thing about the movie! Leave me something to see!

I saw the first season again recently and it's weird how it's mostly a gritty and realistic medieval drama show. In season 7 it's pretty much lord of the rings.

I was disappointed by season 7 getting too far into the magic fantasy poo poo and veering away from the solid, realistic underpinnings that made everything feel earned, made you give a poo poo whether the characters lived or died. It was the worst season by a mile and season 8 is going to have to be pretty spectacular to keep a lot of people from feeling disappointed by the whole experience.

On the other hand, season 7 didn't spend an agonizing amount of time pretending the sand snakes were interesting so it's hard to call it the worst season.

It had the second-most Sand Snakes of any season, but it was the runaway leader in "scenes where characters who used to be smart and consistent make insane decisions in order to keep the plot moving."
