I'm on the fence. The ‘problem’ (for me) is not watching the trailers [i]per se[/i]. They are carefully crafted by pros (and these better than most) to generate MORE interest. I think these are also being manipulated in a post-production manner to obscure many of the details which will be much more clear and ‘right there’ on the screens in the theaters. I think they're literally blacking stuff out for what shows up on iTunes.
HOWEVER:
The trailer editors assume that their work is simply being WATCHED (by the general public) and NOT incessantly [i]ANALYZED[/i] in the way that is going on here. This is a special environment. If all of this brainpower were not being applied to all of the details (and by ‘details’ I mean EVERY FRAME) that the trailer editors assume will be seen (and perceived) only in the most fleeting way, there would be far fewer ‘spoilers’ on the table for me to be afraid of.

The power of this community (and its partner sites in the footer) are VERY foreboding! Yes, a very special environment indeed. We are perhaps the top echelon of Alien enthusiasts all put together in one place. We practically know more about this universe than O'Bannon and RS himself. Lindlof, whatever, doesn't seem to have a clue.

I'm just selfish.....I want to go in as cold as possible, in my case Fox is preaching to the choir....I'm in, I'm sold, you can't keep me out, over and done with...IM GOING.
I know that they haven't revealed much in the trailers that are artfully tailored to direct one's attention in a desired direction, I know that. What I have suspected since the beginning is that there is possibly an hours worth of story that isnt represented in the trailers, that is the reason for this massive wall of secrecy and I dont think it's been hidden because Ridley doesnt have confidence in it....its because he's going to catch everyone off guard with it.

@Forever War Great ID photo, that's old school. Curious if many would know what it's from.

Some people do and know why it's up at this moment in time. It'll stay up until circumstances resolve themselves. It seems that more Canadians know than Americans which isn't surprising to me.

i have O.C.D. and i always read the back side of the final page of every book i buy before i read the rest of it. so even if they showed the end of the movie i would still watch the trailer.

I'd like to see more viral videos than trailers, but neither of them will ruin movies experience for me. As we're not that far from the premiere, I try not to think too deep about it when I see new footage or else. And when there's only one week left until the movie, I'll just turn my computer off,lol
