    I need to watch TROLLHUNTER again. Now that was one unexpectedly good
    movie.

    Sounds like they were trolling for viewership.

    It was pretty expected if you read the overwhelmingly positive reviews.

    I wanted to see you review Spoiler Alert so you could go "SPOILER ALERT
    (no spoilers)."

    As attractive as the pun is, (spoiler alert) the movie seems not to be.
