Shit like this is why I stopped watching any movie trailers years ago and now I just go in blind to everything. Film marketers are dumb as hell sometimes. Luckily I’ve read the book but this is a stupid spoiler to have in the trailer.
A bit hard to avoid when they play it in the theater. I mean I guess you can stand outside the theater and periodically poke your head in to try to guess if trailers are over.
And fucking ruined one of the best plot twists. Marketers are so fucking stupid
They did what?
I would literally pay 100e to read the book again for the first time and those fuckers spoiled the film?
Good lord.
The producers: “it’s a book and everyone reads they know already!”
And it’s fucking stupid
Agreed.
everybody who’s read the book already knows about.
No shit?
Because we were all so ready to ruin it for our friends who hadn’t read it
Yeah I had to tell people to avoid all trailers and just go see it. But if anyone will go to a different movie in the cinema they will probably show it anyway.
There’s a reason I put on my headphones and listen to music during the trailers in the cinema
I hate trailers with a passion
I think the trailer would have generated far more interest if it stopped at showing Rocky’s “hand” and didn’t show all of him.
And Money won out. Don’t pat yourselves on the back for debating it, the end result is you produced a worse product and experience, that wasn’t consistent with the original vision. For more profits…
The trailer made me read the book. I think the spoiler is fine cause no one would want to watch another cliche space interstellar movie.
Weir says. “We want people to go now I want to know what’s going on.”
Well, you spoiled it already, so I already know and I kinda lost interest in the movie…
It’s a spoiler, but not a plot breaking one. The encounter happens quite early in the book
Shakespeare tells you in the first five minutes that ‘Romeo And Juliet’ is a tragedy.
‘Titanic’ had almost a century of spoilers published before it opened.
Did you really think that Luthor had a chance going into “Superman???”
Wow, yes, great argument.
Some popular media is widely spoiled therefore no spoiler ever matters in any other media.
Or, if it’s well done, the spoiler doesn’t matter.
Do you really want to argue that any of those are twists or “big surprises”?
Shush with your logic and common sense!
Many/most? People have never heard of this movie before a few weeks ago. And I didn’t know there was a book until I just opened this thread…
But hey lets computer it to probably the 3 most un- spoilable movies in the last century /s
Or, you can know the spoiler and still enjoy the thing, if it’s well done.
Did you stop reading the book into the 8th chapter? It’s a spoiler only for the quarter of the story.
They always do this. Imagine if Darth Maul’s
Tap for spoiler
Double lightsaber
had remained hidden until the theatre? It would have been madness and pandemonium
Even having the glass tap I thought was too much…then BAM full body rocky shot
Surprise twists can add some fun but I don’t think the entertaining narrative or reasons why PHM was so engaging depended on it being a surprise at least for me. Like if a horror movie has a couple jump scares it’s adding a little fun engagement but if that is all the movie depends on for being scary it’s kinda flat and one note.
I really don’t get why book readers are angry about the trailer showing Rocky.
It looks like it’s going to be a decent movie. But yeah, that’s a botched trailer.
Fist my bump 😂🤣.
The trailer convinced me to buy the book.
The book is awesome!
It was a joy to read!
It was also the perfect book to read after finishing Cixin Liu’s Remembrance of Earth’s Past trilogy.
Next up, the classic continuation with: Bobiverse and Children Of Time
OK, the fact they are referring to spoiling a big surprise spoils the movie for me.
Don’t let it. It’s a phenomenal book, and the other adaptation of Weir’s work, The Martian, was very well-done. I suspect Project Hail Mary will be an excellent movie. Just don’t watch the trailer.
(But honestly even if you do, it’s a spoiler for the first, like, quarter of the story. If that. It’s not some massive twist or anything, it was just a really awesome reveal in the book.)
I couldn’t finish Artemis though. It was around describing the domes of the lunar colony as looking like a pair of boobies is when I couldn’t go on. Felt like Andy needed to rub one out before sitting down at the keyboard for that one.
Some authors should just not write protagonists of the opposite sex…
I didn’t clock her as badly written. He sufficiently hangs the lampshade, with other characters surprised by how forward and open she is about sex. And sex itself is very much not a present part of the plot, though it is part of her character’s backstory.
But also I’m not a woman, either.
I loved that book, but not as much as The Martian or Project Hail Mary.
I got through two chapters of Artemis before I gave up. Project Hail Mary, however, is very good.
