They should film that story and show it every Christmas.

Never fall in love with somebody you actually love.
Do trailers count as spoilers on Buffistas?

If they've been aired on the TV, then they're not spoilers. If they've only been aired on the Internets then they are.

Really? Even if you provide a link to the trailer so everyone can watch? We talk about movie trailers all the time without whitefont.

Yes. The point of not having spoilers is that some people don't WANT to know, so linking to the trailer doesn't solve the issue. Plus, movie trailers are aired on TV.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I don't think we've explicitly had a trailer/spoiler rule for movies. It's fallen into whitefonting, because there's no simple place to have seen it--I know where my Buffy trailer is going to come from, but not as much about The Dark Knight Returns.

Yeah, I was thinking of TV shows. I agree that there hasn't been a clear rule about movies.

"Mister Spock is on his fanny, sir. Reports heavy damage."
Luckily, most of the time, any trailer that spoils the whole movie is for a movie that sucks donkey balls, so it's not much of an issue.
TV trailers, OTOH, well let's just say that some networks are really, really dumb.
