Right. I doubt anyone went into Aliens - the sequel to the movie Alien - and wondered what the Marines were going to find on the Alien planet. "Holy crap! There's aliens!" they might not have been heard to ever say.

I saw a trailer for "In the Army Now" before some movie and, at the point where Pauly Shore gets his head shaved, a girl in the audience let out an involuntary, "Nooooo!" She had a lot invested in Pauly Shore's hair.
