I have seen some movie trailers where I think "Huh. They've just shown me the entire plot. Maybe there's a twist." and I go and see the movie, and there is no twist. and the preview trailer had all the best scenes. Then with other movies, I watch the trailer, and either I can't tell what the movie is about, or when I do go see it, it is NOTHING like the trailer portrayed it. I wonder if there is a lot of backstage squabbling between the writer or director ot producer with the studios about what the trailer should be.<br /><br />Also, have you seen those 're-cut' trailers on youtube, where these clever young kids take scenes from movies, and recut them so the movie looks completely different from the trailer? Some of them are funny as anything, and it's made me realize you sure can't judge a movie by its trailer!purplejillynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19336675.post-44935202929992274472011-08-18T06:38:49.856-07:002011-08-18T06:38:49.856-07:00Hopefully, Glenn Close will use the "Never go...Hopefully, Glenn Close will use the "Never got a dinner" line somewhere in the movieJoe Cnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19336675.post-83855835403802722382011-08-18T06:34:46.551-07:002011-08-18T06:34:46.551-07:00Aw god dammit why do all my favorite people in Hol...Aw god dammit why do all my favorite people in Hollywood have to work with this Scientology nutjob?<br /><br />I mean come ON.
