It would be SO MUCH BETTER to go into a Tarantino movie cold, not knowing ANYTHING. Doesn't anybody in the world understand that anymore?

It would be infinitely superior for just about ANY great director's films, for the audience to go in cold.

Not knowing much of anything.

I would love to be able to go into all kinds of movies not knowing the plot, not knowing who is in it (that would be a GREAT thing, not knowing who is in the film), not knowing the budget.

That would be fantastic. It would be miles superior to the way it is now. Just imagine it, it would be awesome. Hey there's a couple movies coming out next weekend. Beyond the genre, you don't know much, except for perhaps a single trailer that's been available on a limited basis.

The intrigue levels would be great for so many film fans.

The media and the public have killed all that. The public "demands a right to know".

On the other hand, if it's nothing but comic book movies and junk, maybe we ARE better off...

studio insiders state that Comic-Con organizers need to improve the security, "or there will be fewer special presentations going forward" {nm} Peterlee Jul 12, 17:55

on the other hand, the comic-con trailers of 'Suicide Squad' and 'Deadpool' will not be formally released on the Internet {nm} Peterlee Jul 12, 17:57

It is true that the studios are bringing less and less exclusive content as almost all of it leaks {nm} notfabio Jul 12, 18:16

Though typically speaking the longer material doesn't (the longer clips from Warcraft, Hateful Eight for example) notfabio Jul 12, 18:19

...and presumably no one was super motivated to record Patient Zero/Pride and Prejudice & Zombies... {nm} notfabio Jul 12, 18:20

the idea of showing something to 1000s of people and expecting it to stay secret is ludicrous (and the studios know it) {nm} islander Jul 12, 18:20

I don't think they expect it to stay secret.. Just don't want entire clips recorded. BUt hey thats the chance you take. {nm} Dorfman Jul 12, 18:35

I think we all agree, you can't demonstrate any goodwill to the public. {nm} goodvibe61 Jul 12, 21:26

Whatever. Then don't show anything to the public, see where that gets the studios {nm} islander Jul 13, 04:44

Hopefully they'll go through a reactionary phase where that's exactly what they do. I think it'd be great if they witheld more goodvibe61 Jul 13, 09:36

What would be the end result, if they didn't bring some footage to a convention months prior to a film's release? {nm} goodvibe61 Jul 13, 10:11

Not necessarily. Not if the proper security is in place it isn't. {nm} goodvibe61 Jul 13, 09:40

Who knows what Tarantino would have done if his clip got leaked.. {nm} Dorfman Jul 12, 18:20

"Oh no! People who are clamoring to see my movie are sharing their enthusiasm with their friends online! How can I ever stop them!?!?" :) {nm} islander Jul 12, 18:22

hahaha WEll he freaked out and scrapped the movie when the first script got leaked.. {nm} Dorfman Jul 12, 18:24

script is different though. you dont release that to audiences. once you show finished product as part of your marketing, its fair game {nm} islander Jul 12, 18:27

yah but part of the point is it isn't finished product. {nm} Dorfman Jul 12, 18:29

fine. once you show *product* as part of your marketing... ;) {nm} islander Jul 12, 18:34

hehehe {nm} Dorfman Jul 12, 18:35

That's the rationalization. {nm} goodvibe61 Jul 12, 21:34

It would be SO MUCH BETTER to go into a Tarantino movie cold, not knowing ANYTHING. Doesn't anybody in the world understand that anymore? goodvibe61 Jul 13, 10:17

i tend to agree, i prefer to go into a movie cold, but I've also read the script for every Tarantino movie after death Proof prior to Moviesnob Jul 13, 10:41

Nothing will happen. It's part of comic con and the studios well know it. They can choose either to be presented at SDCC or not. Up to them. {nm} AgentEvil Jul 12, 20:05

If it's in good enough condition to show it to any of the public, then it's in their best interest for it to leak. {nm} MiyazakiFan Jul 13, 07:56

Not necessarily. Not at all. {nm} goodvibe61 Jul 13, 09:44

they aren't idiots. they know these things happen {nm} Moviesnob Jul 13, 09:54

Definitely. Comic Con is not some closed industry event. There is no reason to limit it to a small audience. MiyazakiFan Jul 13, 14:42
