I'd have been like Max Cady.
Well, the trailer had this scene with the asian college student crying in Algore’s arms to Algore’s soothing words of assurance. That drew groans from the audience in our movie house. By the end of the trailer, it was mostly gentle ripples of laughter through the room.
I saw the same trailer in a movie theater earlier this year. The trailer showed about a 5-second snippet of Trump speaking to an audience. I guess the intended effect was to have the audience boo and hiss at the anti-global warming “bogeyman”. But when he appeared, there was actually some clapping and a few cheers. This is deep in Connecticut by the way!

Your audience was better than our audience. We saw the trailer waiting for Dunkirk. Tight, strained, stone silence through the whole embarrassment. Yes, crying boy was a vomit worthy snippet of the dung heap.
