Hunh, I remember "Don't ruin the ending!" articles for CRYING GAME, which came out in 1992. I also remember my boss spoiling me for Sixth Sense NOT on opening weekend ("I knew all the time he was dead!" "AWW, PAT"). And when Fatal Attraction came out, people protested what they thought was an anti-gay film by revealing the ending on signs they held up outside the theatre, in 1987. (Sadly the film was so confusing it was not clear if they were right.) But also, the trailers for films like Terminator 2 and old horror movies and original movie trailers from the forties and fifties basically give away the movie. They were like, "Come to the movie and you will see these scenes! Don't they look neat?!" But there were also actual filmed campaigns for "don't spoil the twist" that were sometimes trailers themselves -- Hitchcock did at least one that I remember.
(While looking I found the original Psycho trailer, which is hilarious. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ps8H3rg5GfM ) (which SAYS "Nobody will be seated after the opening," because of Janet Leigh's surprise death)
....IDEFK, I'm just scattered and babbling b/c basically I'm waiting around for spoilers to maybe drop after the LA premiere, and the reviews embargo lifts tomorrow. If Steve or Nat dies I'm not seeing this thing in the theatre. I JUST NEED TO KNOW, MARVEL.
ALTHO, did you see your girl in the latest Spiderling promo?
