Is it just me or have movie trailers gotten a whole lot worse lately?

[IdolEyes787]

Seems to me that once even bad movies used to manage trailers that made you interested in unwisely seeing the film but now most trailers just seem to be a lot of disconnected , unexciting garbage that's leaves me thinking wtf?

[megabyteme]

I don't think you have gotten much worse lately. :mellow:

[iLOVENZB]

Neither megabyteme, what I hate however is they reveal the WHOLE plot so it really doesn't entice you to see the film.

What is a move trailer? Is that the thing at the end of german tourists' cars that I see in the summer?

Btw I haven't noticed any changes. Prolly cause I haven't watched a lot of trailers lately. :P

Yeah I know but it seems that unless you are a Mod then tread titles are indelibly carved in stone .:pinch:
I think it's some sort of conspiracy .

[Cabalo]

There, there, I fixed that for you.

How's winter going ?

Many movies are incomprehensible (Transformers 2) or just plain terrible (most rom-coms), so it's no surprise the trailers are as well.

Almost worse IMO, is the tendency to frontload the trailer with all the good stuff...Kick Ass comes to mind.
After seeing Hit Girl's big hallway fight scene in the trailer, I was expecting something even better in the film but no, that was it.

I haven't even seen the trailers for most of the films I've really liked lately (Winter's Bone, for instance), so I'm kinda out of the loop anyway.

Those are my favourite; it saves you some cash/time and gives you enough to BS through with your co-workers.

Me too sexy for my car.

What is a movie trailer anyway? Where do you download see them? Since I followed IdolEyes787's advice and eliminated all that annoying commercial interference, saved over $100+ each month & now I don't have to wrap the tinfoil around my head so tight to keep out the NSA mind control experts anymore.

I simply download share the relevant topics I want, but no movie trailers yet. I do miss my local news & weather though... but then again it hasn't rained here in weeks, so I guess I can live without that too. :(

(As an added bonus my frosty cold Beck's bottles are safe from inadvertent "Fast Forward" spillage. 'nuff said.) :alien:

Thanks again Idol! ;)

This has got to be some sort of trap.

They don't make trailers like this no more :( : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sBZne3gVSHs

Personally, I don't watch them. Because, usually, trailer is much better then movie, so, thanks to trailers, I saw some major craps.

Granted! (Just curious though... when did M-16's or any automatic weapons for that matter become part of a true Ninja's arsenal? Don't they have a code or something? If they consider that extremely quiet or "stealthy" than I would have to wear earplugs through most of that one. :ermm:

(Guess you can tell I'm really bored tonight.) :whistling :alien:

Holy heck, I pick the last one!!! That was AWESOME!!!!!!!111

Your son,unable to articular the words,has resorted to Morse code with his eyes in a last ditch effort to try and tell you how much your taste in stuff disgusts him.


Now he's saying that unless this cinematic abuse stops you will wake up with a butter knife through your eyeball one of these days.


I would suggest hiding the cutlery but I'm really siding with your son on this one.:)

[Stehle]

Great Examples! Thank you for the better understanding! :)

While the knife wielding may some day come true, his taste often rears its ugly head when he insists on watching

On second thought, I think it may be more merciful if you just throw him off the roof.

The movie didn't do "well (http://insidemovies.ew.com/2012/09/02/oogieloves-big-balloon-adventure-worst-box-office-debut-flop/)" in the box office, probably since they failed to reach their target demographic of 3 1/2 year olds with Down's. :idunno:

[Stehle]

Well maybe so, but... I think "Zoozie" is hot! Give her another 15 years or so and she'd probably be staring in episode 174 of Game of Thrones season 21 playing Tyrion & Lady Sansa's love child.

(Hey, I'd watch it.) :alien:

That's OK as Michael Bay already has that market covered.

Also your kids are like 3 and a 1/2 now?

Geez how time flys. Before you know it your daughter will be lying to you about going to the library while in fact she's really going to be boinking some Latino gang member in the backseat of a Dodge minivan.

The really tough thing to handle though is when you find out it was actually 2 Latino gang members.:(

I know and trust my daughter well enough now that I strongly believe she will be running any gang she is affiliated with. :mellow:

BTW, Ziggy has tried to do so twice now, but luckily she kicked his ass both times.
