Grim death/Oscar bait

The first trailer is out for Everest, the upcoming film based on Jon Krakauer’s book Into Thin Air, about the 1996 Mount Everest disaster. This is clearly going to be a very, very impressive-looking film (particularly in 3D), but there are some things I just don't need to see for myself, and watching eight people die totally needless deaths in a blizzard is one of them.
