Ok there is like seriously way too much of this movie on the internet. So I am deciding right now to NOT watch anymore clips before I go to the theater. Not to say that reporting it as news isn't exciting and great for all of us. I am just not interested in seeing anymore. I feel with the amount of footage that I have already seen on Youtube, that I may have endangered my experience at the actual theater.
I almost feel like I've seen about 15% of the movie so far, but just the cliff notes. I want this movie experience to be new and exciting, just as the first episodes of G-1 aired back in 1984. So if you don't see me on any of the "new Clip" discussion threads, its because I feel like I have seen way too much of the movie, I know the plot, but seeing the actual footage is worse, because you see whats coming before the actual event. I would feel like buying tickets would be a waste if I actually saw more.
Keep reporting new clips and TV spots, for those who want to see them, thats great, but I'm hiding myself away from enticing footage, because I want to feel surprised and not be the one whose in the theater going, "ok this next parts gonna be bad ass!!" to my friends..I want to experience the awe of this movie for the first time. I never had so much of an inside track until I became part of the fandom, so its hard to resist the temptation, but I'll tell you for now, I think I am able to abstain from watching anymore footage.. I'm good till July 3rd!!
Are there any other members who feel the same?
P.S. I'm not knocking or complaining about any other sites, or this on that posts new TV spots in their news section. Nor am I upset at anyone in particular who has reported on any new footage of the movie.. I realize what can and should be my decision as far as what to watch and what not to. I will never blame anyone who posts spoilers on the web, because ultimately, I either kept reading it or watching.. so to those who Whine, please be mindful of your own weaknesses before you blame anyone else!!!
