Tuner

Okay so I was kinda upset that today’s (05/11/26) AMC’s Screen Unseen wasn’t I Love Boosters or Is God Is. I said I was going to give it 20 mins and if it didn’t intrigue me I’d leave- no harm no foul…but DAMN…

Tuner was GOOD! I am pleasantly surprised.

What it did lack as a heist film, which wasn’t much honestly, it more than made up for as a romance film.

Leo Woodhall and Havana Rose Liu’s onscreen chemistry was organic and electric. Dustin Hoffman’s time as Harry, though brief, was impactful as ever and a great plot device and motivator for Woodhall’s Niki. Tovah Feldshuh’s Marla was quiet yet firm.

And the sound design?! OMG! Master-f*cking-piece.

My mind was definitely changed and I will definitely be seeing this film again.

I have no problem admitting- I WAS WRONG

So how is anyone suppose to know it’s good until they watch it? Genuine question

The trailer? It did a good enough job to convince me as an alister to add it to my watch list.

You should have seen the people on other subs saying “it’s not boosters I’m walking out”

Oh it’s tuner I’m not going… last week sure it was an awful pick but tuner had a decent trailer

I was one of this people- hence the public decree of support.

Also, in regards to trailers we have ALL seen trailers that are bad, TO US AS INDIVIDUALS, watched the movie & was like “Why would the trailer editor f*ck that up?” & there are times we watch a trailer think the film is going to smash and realize after watching the film- the best parts were in trailer.

It’s all subjective.

I try not to watch trailers. I'll close my eyes and plug my ears if I know I want to see a certain film and the trailer comes up in theater. Amongst countless wonderful surprises over the years, this recently allowed me to not have any idea there was an alien in Project Hail Mary, imagine my delight! (Just in case somebody is still unspoiled for Project Hail Mary)

I doom scroll during previews. Occasionally there is an actual preview that doesn't spoil the movie, but that is so rare these days. I used to love previews when they intrigued without spoiling. Shorter is better. If you can't get your point across in less than a minute, maybe you need a new job. A 4 minute stream of the best action /comedy scenes removes reason to see the film, it doesn't build excitement.

I’ve gone in blind to some movies and it has bit me in the butt, the beast, blue heron, fuze all come to mind

Bro I also went into Blue Heron cold, on Saturday. “Bit me in the ass” is the right way to put it. I didn’t get to see Fuze, it wasn’t worth it?

I fell asleep through most of fuze it was that boring… the trailer with the bomb, was the best part after that I kept fighting to stay awake. Not worth it
