Trailers Always Spoil/Quotes

"Tom Servo: So they're all clones?

- MST3K on the Transformers Trailer

"OK, so Jake is just this regular dude who has this thing for the very righteous babe, Allison. And the two of them meet this gnarly old magician named Zebediah, who actually happens to be this creature-person exiled from the underground world, only there's no way you're supposed to know that yet, OK?"

"Showing the Kraken in the Clash of the Titans trailer is like asking a girl out with your dick hanging out."

- Overheard Everywhere

"Shall I spend three-and-sixpence to purchase the book,

Which we all can pick up on the bookstall and look?

For the back of the cover will tell you the plot."

- GK Chesterton, "Commercial Candour"

"My first response when somebody doesn't get a Hudsucker reference is to say, "Just see the movie." There's one big problem with that, however....its only DVD release was way back in 1999, in a lousy snapper case, on a despised flipper disc, with no bonus features other than "Interactive Menus" and "Scene Access." To make things worse, Warner Bros. placed a big spoiler for the film on the front cover."

"Sooo....if you get it yourself, you're going to know the big twist before you start to play it, meaning I might as well spoil the whole thing for you right here. If you can find a way to see the film without seeing its own cover, then do so right away....otherwise, read on."

"I don't think we can complain when trailers give away too much AND complain when a trailer shows stuff that's not in the final movie."
