I watched an interview with Penelope Cruz this week when she was asked how did she prepare for the part in her latest movie (since it's a pretty emotional one) and she said it helped her a great deal to have read the whole script, to know everything that happens in the story, the hows and whys of her character and her co-actresses. She said she needed a full view from Almodovar (the director) so that she could act the whole thing the right way.

And as she was explaining that I couldn't help but think of Marvel. How they continuously make their actors work their parts when they don't know the full story or the situation they're in. They just say their words and call it a day. It's so utterly stupid and it ends with a sub-par quality work - how could it not!

The "no spoilers" craze is only making things worse. And it's so insulting to the actors and actresses as well. Penelope was so careful not to say anything about the movie, why does Marvel distrust their people so much that they risk losing quality just so they can keep it spoiler-free? It's still mind-blowing to me.

Bingo. This exactly.

I want to add again that the "no spoilers" thing is done not because spoilers ruin a movie experience (unless it's a Darth Vader level twist they really don't. And hell even if you go in knowing the twist, if the movie's good, that's what actually matters.)

The "no spoilers" thing is done to keep costs low. If actors don't know when or where they're shooting or for how long, or how big their part is, etc, they cannot properly negotiate a salary. Ditto crew.

This is also why Marvel never builds real sets and always over-relies on greenscreen. It's cheaper.

It has nothing to do with the moviegoing experience and everything to do with keeping filmmaking cheap while maximizing profits. It's a corporate choice, full stop, no different from any other giant company doing it.

This practice will not change, by the way; you can go on strike and you can form unions and you can take to the press on it all you want. They'll still find ways to do it, they'll pay off the Scarlett Johansen level people who fight back, and they'll stomp over anyone small who protests.

The only way out is to kill the studio system. Until then, they will continue to do this to as many people as possible as often as possible, and people will still unknowingly defend it by picking up on that "spoilers are bad" BS and repeating it like gospel.
