DON'T Spoil Movie Trailers!!!!!!

So a "friend" and I were headed to see the new Batman movie and she was telling me how Christian Bale was going to "bale" out another floundering franchise but she couldn't remember what it was.

Now I am a Terminator fan from hell and think Terminator 2 was one of the greatest action/science fiction movies ever. I heard some distant mention of something new that was Terminator (the Sarah Connor Chronicles or some misguided nonsense).

I am also a BIG fan of the previews when I go to a movie. Love them. More than anything, I love the surprise of a trailer for a movie that I'm dying to see or EVEN BETTER a movie I didn't even know about and would kill to go see.

So me and my "friend" are enjoying the previews...and then. As one starts that I had not seen before (and before it was obvious what it was) my "friend" leans over and said "Oh yeah, the new Terminator is what Christian Bale is in."

Now...I was displeased and deflated. It was like "Oh yeah, we're going to your surprise birthday party" or "Unwrap your tickets to the UNC game" or "I'm getting ready to jump out of the closet and scare you!"

All I can do now is imagine myself in an alternate universe where my "friend" says nothing and how I would have nearly shit my pants with excitement when I heard the unmistakable Terminator "Dun-Dun, Dun-dun-dun!"

Then, I image yet another alternate universe where I get equally excited and don't shit my pants, because that is gross.
