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.

To clarify it's so you can fit in a quick preview and the title before the ad is skipped in 5 seconds on youtube

That last shot is totally different to any of the others in the trailer so my guess is it's entirely constructed to be a button.

what the gently caress is a button

Gotta be honest, I prefer the traditional theater experience. La-Z-Boy theaters seem to cater to a specific theatrical experience that I find mildly repulsive.



Wtf. It's just more comfortable seats dude.

Equalizer 2 looks good. The first one was one of the better old man action movies of recent times so i'm down for the second one which looks like the action has been bumped up a notch.

Tom Hardy was a good choice, Venom itself looks good, seems fine to me

"Biggest movie franchise" + "but those movies suck rear end!!!" = there's your cognitive dissonance

Has there ever been another actor so driven to do the most intense poo poo all for the purpose of making the most entertaining movie they possibly can?

Deadpool just broke the box office record for an R-rated movie on a Thursday (It had the record).



Weren't you insinuating earlier on that this one wasn't going to do well or be well received, something about a bad test screening or something, looks like it's set to be a much enjoyed massive success what happened there?

Venom looks exactly the right kind of trashy for me.

Yeah It actually looks like fun, as in fun to watch, as a contrast from the more manufactured and calculated fun of the main MCU movies.

How is that relevant? by that logic I'm looking forward to the next Avengers film, from the studio behind the legendary Planes: Fire and Rescue and Mars Needs Moms

That looks great and makes me wonder why all comic book movies aren't animated

Was Men In Black 3 worth the time?

Absolutely, it's a fun and entertaining movie.

She spent the last 20 years smoking cigarettes in the direct sun but I still love her.

Jesus. Every time an older celebrity resurfaces there are creepy af comments like this. Tell us Dillbag, what should a woman in her loving 60s look like to you?
