In The Mailbag: Three e-mails in reaction to our spoiler discussions:
Sterling from Dallas: I vehemently disagree and was hoping someone from the Jeff Cannata camp would join and be the voice of reason. Yes, a great movie will be great regardless, but avoiding spoilers is about the experience. (shocked by spoiler moment in IT) Knowing that in advance wouldn't have ruined the movie, but it would have changed how I felt while watching it. Yes that was just a moment but how many moments does it take for a good movie to turn great?
Logan in Seattle writes in: “I used to think less was more, not ignoring trailers completely, but not watching more than one for a film. Now I see what you mean by enjoying the lead up as part of the journey to the film, instead of as a separate experience. I'm not a STAR WARS super fan, but I love the buzz of this industry of film so much that I can't help but be sucked into the vortex surrounding something as massive as this. So last night I watched the trailer multiple times and listened to your emergency coverage of it. Now I understand. Now I too am fully invested in all the theories and news that may come over the coming months.
Stephen from San Francisco writes: “As you've discussed in the modern info era it is hard to stay "clean" as Rian Johnson states. (he didnt want to watch but watched) 2 minutes later and I find myself feeling anxious/frustrated that maybe I had just seen too much... Do you think The Last Jedi trailer showed to much of the story progression? Especially with the Rey v Stoke scream and Kylo reaching out for Rey scene? Do you think when something this large goes out it is impossible to stay "clean" in a world were even my grandma calls to ask if I saw it? Am I crazy for even feeling like this?
