Funny - my response to the thread title was going to be

"Only like a THOUSAND times".

First saw it during the IMAX screening of Watchmen, and that was almost a year ago.

To be fair, Wikipedia says that the release date of the movie slipped from October '09 to Feb '10. So there's another 4 months of being subjected to the trailer that wasn't planned.

I, too, have seen it a thousand times. And every time I do I think of the book and say to my wife, "Nothing against Leonardo DiCaprio, but he's not right for that role." So now my wife has heard me say the same thing 1,000 times and hates me for it.

Thanks, Shutter Island movie trailer. You've total messed up my marriage.

Yeah, the trailer kind of shows an annoying amount of stuff, like when DiCaprio and Ruffalo are in the white inmates suits. However, this bit from the AV Club review totally sold me on seeing it, despite the mediocre-for-Scorcese Rotten Tomatoes score of 65%:

I've seen so many trailers that there's no point in watching. Just slice them all together in one reel and you have about 70% of the important scenes in the film. I'll probably wait till this comes out on DVD.

This is hard to believe but I actually saw 4 trailers for the movie (each had different footage and length) within a single 5 minute commerical break on VH1 around 9pm tonight. 4 trailers....seriously?

Sadly, if you really listen to the trailer, it spoils the ending.

Yeah, f*ck that trailer. I am sick to death of it.

Yes, there is that.

A few weeks ago, they started beaming the trailer out into outer space, just in case someone is listening out there...

Huh? I've only seen it once and that's because I've been digging through movie trailers on YouTube.

Every damn time I open the Hulu app, it defaults to this damn trailer. The worst part is, I have to restart it between shows lately, so I've had to see it OVER AND OVER again. UGH@#%!

I saw it too, and thought it was fine. No Goodfellas, but Scorsese deserves to have some fun too. He composed some really great imagery, it actually almost felt like he'd just come in and say "I wanna do a scene where a woman turns to ash," or "I wanna do a scene with this Earle Haley guy everyone's talking about." Not to say it doesn't hold together. Like you said, KG, the twist is predictable, but there's a secondary twist attached to it I didn't see coming, and it's all fairly played.

I do want to say, between this and The Brothers Bloom, just when did Mark Ruffalo become such a good actor?

I must be an idiot because I was shocked about it. But after it happened, I was waiting for the "double twist" that never came around...which was interesting.

Did the music grate you all as it did me? Especially in the opening sequence where they're driving up to the institution from the dock. It was superfluous if I ever knew the sense of the word.

I just saw it this afternoon. Right now I'm giving it 3 Netflix stars ("I liked it.") This is in comparison to the 4 star ("I really liked it!") DVDs that I watched this weekend, 500 Days of Summer and Moon.

It's a solid movie, and as my aunt said, keeps your attention, but when my wife asked if I was glad I went, it was hard to answer. I really wanted to see it, so there you go.

I will say in response to DrSugarDaddy that

Not really sure when or if I'll ever watch it again, though. Might be a film that grows on me over time, might just be a decent way to spend one Sunday afternoon, and that's it.
