<p>Dans la salle encore éclairée, les pubs s’enchaînent puis arrivent les premières <strong>bandes-annonces</strong>. Musique qui monte, punchlines, images chocs… Vous frissonnez déjà, parfois plus que pendant le film qui suit. Vous sortez en vous disant que le meilleur moment de la séance, c’était presque ces deux minutes de promesse.</p> <p>Sur YouTube ou TikTok, même scénario : vous revoyez le même trailer cinq fois, alors que le long-métrage entier vous laisse plutôt tiède. Ce décalage amuse, intrigue aussi. Des travaux en psychologie montrent pourtant que les personnes qui préfèrent les bandes-annonces au film partagent en général sept <strong>traits de personnalité</strong> bien précis. La curiosité commence ici.</p> <h2>Pourquoi le cerveau peut préférer la promesse au film</h2> <p>Les études sur la <strong>dopamine</strong> décrivent un phénomène surprenant : le cerveau réagit très fort à l’anticipation d’une récompense, parfois davantage qu’à la récompense elle-même. Une <strong>bande-annonce</strong>, c’est exactement ça, un concentré d’attente. Elle suggère des intrigues sans les résoudre, expose des personnages sans tout dévoiler. Pour un profil très sensible à cette montée d’excitation, le trailer donne déjà l’essentiel du plaisir.</p> <p>Autre ingrédient clé, le <strong>biais d’optimisme</strong>. Notre esprit a tendance à combler les blancs avec le scénario le plus flatteur possible. À partir de quelques plans, on imagine le film parfait, profond, drôle, spectaculaire. Quand le récit réel arrive avec ses contraintes de durée, de budget ou de rythme, il ne peut plus rivaliser avec cette version idéale, écrite dans la tête du spectateur.</p> <h2>Les 7 traits de personnalité typiques des fans de bandes-annonces</h2> <p>Les psychologues décrivent d’abord une forte <strong>ouverture à l’expérience</strong>, l’un des grands traits du modèle des Big Five : grande curiosité, goût des idées nouvelles, attrait pour les univers imaginaires. Souvent s’ajoute une imagination très puissante, proche de la personnalité “encline à l’imaginaire” décrite en psychologie. Avec seulement quelques images, ces personnes construisent déjà leur propre film mental, parfois bien plus riche que ce qui sera projeté.</p> <p>On retrouve aussi une vraie recherche de nouveauté et de rythme. Les amateurs de trailers aiment les montages rapides, les changements de décor, les genres qui s’enchaînent. Ils s’ennuient vite quand une scène s’étire, regardent leur téléphone dès que l’action retombe. Chez ceux qui cochent toutes les cases, on observe donc sept tendances récurrentes : cerveau dopé à l’anticipation, biais d’optimisme, grande ouverture, imagination débordante, goût du nouveau, agitation quand le rythme baisse et difficulté à savourer les temps morts.</p> <h2>Comment ces traits influencent votre façon de voir un film</h2> <p>Rester plongé deux heures dans la même histoire demande un engagement émotionnel long. Or, certains profils trouvent plus confortable une émotion en éclairs, intense mais brève, comme celle d’une <strong>bande-annonce</strong>. Ils adorent les pics, beaucoup moins les transitions calmes où l’on installe les personnages. Le résultat, c’est un léger sentiment de “trop peu” une fois le film terminé, même s’il est objectivement réussi.</p> <p>Beaucoup de ces spectateurs sont aussi davantage motivés par les récompenses externes que par le plaisir intérieur de décoder un récit lent. Ils réagissent à la musique qui explose, au montage nerveux, aux punchlines, tous ces éléments poussés au maximum dans les trailers. Rien de pathologique là-dedans, juste une manière particulière d’aimer le cinéma. La connaître permet d’ajuster ses attentes, de choisir des films au rythme adapté, et peut-être de laisser, parfois, un peu plus…

TORONTO – For players like Minnesota Wild forwards Hunter Haight and Ben Jones, who are still working toward every-night spots in the NHL lineup, each game they get to play in “the show” is a gift worth savoring. But when the rash of injuries that had the Wild playing without five veterans again on Monday lines up with the team’s lone visit to Toronto this season, for players like Haight and Jones who grew up near Canada’s largest metro area, it’s a special treat. “I definitely felt like I bled blue for a while,” said Jones of his childhood as a Maple Leafs fan, growing up roughly an hour outside the heart of Toronto. “I went out for lunch with my family yesterday and everyone said that if I got a chance to play here and they saw me on the ice, there would be a lot of tears flowing. It’s exciting for them and kind of a full-circle moment for sure.” Jones, who was skating in his 25th game of the season on Monday, played youth hockey in Toronto on a team with Quinn Hughes when they were kids. Haight, who was slotted in for his fourth NHL game on Monday, was born a little more than 20 miles west of the city and witnessed his first NHL game at the rink where he was working for the Wild. “It’s something you dream of growing up,” Haight said after the Wild’s morning skate on the Maple Leafs’ home ice. “Always watching through their playoff runs and all that. I haven’t been in this building since I was like seven years old.” For Wild coach John Hynes, having seen many players return to their hometowns or their former employers over his coaching career, there’s a balance by the emotional boost from playing in front of friends and family, and the need to focus on the hockey, blocking out any potential distractions. “I think it’s always exciting for guys to be able to come back and play in their hometowns,” Hynes said. “Sometimes it’s no different than if they’re coming back to play for a team they used to play for. Usually it gives them a little bit of extra pop and excitement.” For both players, there was a little more pop in their wallets as well. The Maple Leafs have some of the most expensive tickets in the NHL, and Haight was on the hook for “a bunch” of them with more than 30 friends and family coming to Monday’s game. Jones said his father took him to his first NHL game in Toronto as a kid, and on Monday night, Ben got to return the favor. Briefly Former Gophers star forward Matthew Knies has been a hit in Toronto since he signed with the Maple Leafs just hours after the U of M’s loss in the 2023 NCAA title game. But a nagging lower body injury kept him off the ice for Monday’s morning skate and Toronto coach Craig Berube was unsure of Knies’ availability to face the Wild. “It’s obviously bothering him a lot for quite some time and hasn’t gotten really much better,” Berube said. “Other than when he gets some breaks, Christmas time and stuff, he comes back, it feels better, but it’s an ongoing issue.” Knies, 23, has a dozen goals and 28 assists in 45 games for Toronto this season. Originally from Arizona, he spent two seasons with the Gophers, helping them reach the NCAA Frozen Four in back-to-back years and winning the Big Ten’s MVP award in 2023.

Goodbye, Animal Control. Hello, Animal Services? Weeks away from relocating into a new building, the city division currently known as St. Paul Animal Control is looking to sport a new name. Angie Wiese, director of the city’s Department of Safety and Inspections — which oversees the unit that handles endangered and abandoned animals — told the council on earlier this month that the term “Animal Control” is passe within the industry, where workers are more likely to try and rehouse kittens or reunite a missing iguana with its owner than to control rabid dogs. “The term ‘Animal Control’ is very outdated in the animal services world, and comes from a time when animal care looked a lot different than it does now,” Wiese said. “One of the drivers to make this change now is that we’re preparing to move into a new space, and we want to brand that new space.” Wiese shared pictures of a giant turtle, a large white goose, an iguana, a kitten and other abandoned or escaped animals that were returned to their owners or rehomed with new families through partnerships with area nonprofits. “We do a lot more than dogs and cats,” she said. “We provide a number of services that are more than just control of animals.” Wiese said DSI has also worked closely with Human Resources to recast job titles such as “Animal Services officer” and “Animal Services manager.” The city council will host a public hearing on the division’s potential name change on Wednesday, and likely a final vote a week later.

Work began around last April on remodeling what had been a privately-held shelter in the same neighborhood at 1115 Beulah Lane, which will offer better separation between large and small animals and more space for veterinary care and adoption services. Animal Control is expected to move into the new facility early this year.
