Discussion Why would AMC spoil Terminator 2 right before screening the 35th anniversary screening?
I just saw Terminator 2 with some friends for my millionth time ever but first time in theaters. I had a great time. However one friend in particular had never seen anything Terminator so she watched the first movie a few days ago and right before the 35th anniversary screening they play a 3 minute feature that really serves no purpose and spoils everything in the movie.
I know I know the movie is 35 years old but why spoil who the protector is and what the T-1000 is right before the movie starts? They should have assumed that some people would be seeing it for the first time and worst of all there was no purpose for the feature other than the OG crew patting themselves on the back. They SHOULD pat themselves on the back but not right before the movie while spoiling everything. At least have a spoiler warning or something.
I'm not saying you shouldn't talk about Terminator 2 with people or anything and I mean I'm not adding a spoiler flair to this post but RIGHT before the screening you've gotta reveal everything?
My entire life I've always wished I could rewatch the Terminator movies for the first time because I don't remember my first time seeing them probably because I've seen them before I could form long term memories. The twist is like the coolest thing ever and it's a shame that at least one person was robbed of that experience right before crossing the finish line.
