Here is another question I once had that was answered in one of these threads.

Q. Why do online trailers have a 5/10 second advertisement for themselves at the beginning? Why am I seeing the same footage twice?

A. There are multiple reasons. The trailer might run as an advertisement for a different piece of content on YouTube or a different streaming platform. The trailer might be shared on a social platform like Facebook or Twitter where 3 minutes is a lot for a piece of content which may not have a cat acting silly or a dog being a good boy*.
Basically, our attention span is zero and there are a lot of times we need a teaser before we are going to watch that trailer (which obviously does not apply to a forum thread like this). And that's why you're getting a (hyper) condensed version of the movie at the start of a condensed version.

*Or you get something terrible which is both like the trailer for A Dog's Purpose.

I wanted to make some kind of Ready Player "Han" pun, but I'm somewhat struggling with the balance between the actual content of the post and the punchline so I'm just going to leave it like that. Ready Player Han.

Actually pretty stoked about this since it has Carpenter's blessing and he's doing the music for it. Would be a nicer lasting legacy finale than whatever that last thing he did was...The Ward?

I like how John Carpenter has basically been making the same genre of music for 35 years, but that genre has semi-recently had a huge resurgence in popularity so it works out.

Yeah, it's amazing how many current day artists were inspired by him and he just essentially responded with "well, I'm still alive... and I still make music" by releasing new stuff.

He is also in Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy, but he might sound a bit posh (edit: fancier?) in that.

This trend where seeing movies about scantily-clad models killing people is feminist is pretty convenient.

Gotta balance that male gaze with the moments where men are clutching their balls. Edit: I was referring to the audience, but who knows, it might feature scenes like that!

M:I 2 is the movie that gave us Hugh Jackman as Wolverine, and for that we are blessed.

It’s a shame that there is no director’s cut of it though. I’d love to see the version of the movie before the studio got involved (you know, the one that apparently exceeds a running time of 3 hours).

Also Westworld rickrolled its fans and it was pretty well done I thought.

It mainly features young pilots, one of them is either Russian or East-European and puts on that song to get in the zone. It is supposed to be silly.

I'm trying to think of the trailer I've seen that most goes off the rails: probably a toss-up between that one where Will Smith is a secret agent who's turned into a pigeon or the one where Jackie Chan is a gritty Hong Kong detective who is up against sci-fi supervillain robots who use VR or something.

I have no idea what the latter is. Is it Bleeding Steel?
