Film trailers. There's something odd about how people treat trailers as events that seems odd to me.

I make a point of walking into movies 15-20 mins late so I can miss them.

I used to watch trailers obsessively as a kid, over and over, hundreds of times in some cases, and I realized how much it was affecting my experience of the movie itself, always anticlimactic. going in blind is the way to go imo, or as blind as possible.

You see posts on reddit, that are enormously popular, and it's 'second avengers trailer' etc. It's a strange kind of consumerism.

Trailers > the movies they're selling, roughly 99% of the time. I like them because I'm never gonna see the movies in question anyway, so I might as well watch two minutes of bug-eyed facial expressions, explosions, and CGI punch-outs.

"This birthday, instead of you (a person I knew for a few weeks twenty years ago) buying me (an adult you never speak to) a present, please donate money to this fundraising appeal, it's a great cause, and you're going to feel pressured into donating to it because facebook keeps pushing it to the top of the page, so if you're on here and not donating that would look pretty bad, also there is an arbitrary target and the figure raised will be embarrassingly low until a day or so before the deadline when presumably close family members chip in to stop it failing"

oh wait there's a 3rd: 3) you should join!
I can't leave because of work & it's the biggest promotional platform for anything I might be doing. There's been some local discussion about alternatives for show-listings, because pretty much all house/warehouse/DIY shows are promoted via FB.
