They'll hype it, list it, start to air it and then pre empt it with college basketball.

If voting mattered, they'd make it illegal.

The trailer for Bourne Supremacy was probably the best trailer I've seen in years. Not only did it not give away the story (much), but it actually misled you, using dialogue and scenes out of context to give you the wrong impression. If they do that kind of work, I'll love it!

But hey, that's just me...

Personally I still plan on flipping the channel or turning the tv off entirely anytime a Serenity preview comes on. I like to be as spoiler free as possible for movies I actually care about.

Though it is going to be fun when the BDM is a success and Fox has to air commercials for the very thing they're missing out on.

Hey sexy--

Sorry I haven't been around, work is nuts (they FINALLY signed my contract!!) and school is crazy (the campus is closing in July, so they've upped the hours, I'm in school two weekdays and all day Saturday, plus projects and such, to get done before July... oy...).

I must say, it WOULD be funny as hell if they had done one episode (ONE eipsode) as a parody of reality series like The Real World or Survivor or somesuch... like the musical episode of Buffy...

And I will demand my money back and boycott the film.

I REALLLLLLY hate "bait and switch", where the trailer lies to you, shows scenes not in the movie, etc etc..

Case in point ? The movie "Black Moon Rising".
The car was in just about EVERY scene in the trailer, and presented in a way that suggested it was a major part of the movie.

Anyone who's seen the movie knows that was anything but the case, thus, I spent my hard earned cash on a movie based on a LIE, was rooked, robbed, stolen from, in essence, and I hold a grudge.

I'd prefer that they don't "give anything away" in the trailer, but if they lie to me, or feel they NEED to lie to me, to get me to see this movie ? much as I love the series, I will walk right out on it... Joss shouldn't be stooping to that level.
