I did write a little bit after that refuting that statement. But I felt it wasnt needed. But anyway, yes trailers piss me off!!!! I'll give you an example; Red Cliff - John Woo historical action film, or so I thought. It was so melodramatic and long that I almost left.

Damn you trailer people, damn you!

There you go, that was basically what I was going to say only a little less well written because I'm getting drunker by the minute....

District 9. Never heard of it before, looks pretty good. Although the from director Peter Jackson tag is a bit misleading, he's only producing.

It looks like it might be interesting, but we'll have to see.

Has anyone seen the news broadcast style tv trailers? Those are kind of different, arent they?

I love watching trailers, but I think I should stop. Sometimes they are better than the movie, for example Taken, the trailer gave me fucking goosebumps, and the movie was mediocre.

Other times, the trailer can ruin it. Like Sunshine, it gave away the fucking TWIST!! Terminator Salvation did the same kind of thing, surely Marcus being a robot was meant to be a twist? Yet they showed it in the trailer so we already knew!

As for District 9, I've been keeping an eye on this for a long time, it's got great potential, but I'm not getting my hopes up just yet. Moon is going to be the sci-fi of the year I think, but hopefully there is room for more...
