I HATE movie trailers now.

Trauma-san:
They are now RUINING movies with the trailers.  I saw Redeye, and it would have been a great movie, had I not known that Cillian Murphy's character was in charge of her dad being kidnapped.  I dunno how they could have covered that up, but the trailers give away WAYYY too much. 

Another one I noticed recently is the trailer to King Kong.  HORRIBLY edited.  They start off really good, until about 30 seconds in you have no idea what the movie is about.  There's a huge roar, and then a ton of natives, everything is SO COOL, then they ruin it, by showing a shot, edited in, of King Kong running around in manhattan throwing cars everywhere.

Why didn't they just build up the suspense, cut that scene out, cut the scene out where it shows him grab her, cut out the scene where it shows him fighting in the jungle, cut out the scene where it shows his eyes, and build suspense the entire trailer.  At the end of the trailer, leave in that great scene with the Tyrannosarus or whatever chasing her, then show the stegasoarus hunting her down... and all of a sudden, out of nowhere King Kong jumps in and roars at him, then it cuts off and goes to credits, leaving the audience amazed.  I mean the shots already there, but they fuck it up by showing you, too soon, that it's a movie about King Kong. 

Another one is that movie where Reese Witherspoon plays a ghost.  They've showed 2 or 3 trailers, and gave away almost every funny gag that's likely to be in the movie.  What the fuck?

I noticed one (two if you wouldn't know it's one person) of my neighbors plays in that movie.

Javier:
If they would have gone the Godzilla I think some people will just be turned off by it

Trauma-san:
I never realized Tom Jones looks so much like Ric Flair now.

Eddie G.:
Yep, they ruin almost every comedy's punchlines.  One thing that was tite was Wedding Crashers, because they basically used the first 5 minutes of the movie as the trailer, and didnt ruin the rest of it.
