Beware the Youtube Movie Trailer Phantom!

Tweet

While the title of this discussion may seem ridiculous or funny, this is no laughing matter. Like myself, I am convinced that many of you go to youtube to check out movie trailers for upcoming or already published films. It is a great and simple way to get a quick fix of the movie you so crave to see, and thus far, we could use this resource unhindered and without fear. However, now all that has changed. There is a new danger lurking in the shadows for all innocent movie buffs. There is a person on youtube, who uses many different names (or rather, it's more than 1 people?) going around on different movie trailers and posting the ending or otherwise significant plot twists in the comments section! These people shamelessly start out typing an innocent and reasonable critique, and end up just slapping the major twist of the movie in mid-sentence! Before you realize it, a seemingly interesting and witty movie review has already destroyed all hopes for your ability to anticipate the outcome of the flicks with suspense! If you read the comments for the movie trailers or movie excerpts and you have yet to see the movie, BEWARE! I have ruined many a movie for myself before I have even seen them by checking the comments section, and before I have realized that there are clear patterns between the different, meticulate methods of nearly subliminal spoiler-integration.
