I agree that trailers can sometimes spoil - but I love watching them as an art form on their own!(i was tying not to say 'art form' cos it sounds so pretentious, but i couldnt think of another phrase!) The speed of imagery and use of music is often quite different form that in film and a trailer can give you a buzz considerably more than the film - of course that's what its s'posed to do - once you've bought the ticket they don't much care what you see!
i've been careful to avoid spoliers - avoiding lots of threads, only checking out the magazines that really warn you before they spoil something, like SFX. But i couldnt resist downloading the comic-con trailer. and despite the quality i was jumping around the room, squeaking with a big grin on my face for a few minutes after! trailers are part of the build up!!!

i myself am very conflicted. on one hand, i am absolutely bursting with anticipiation for the movie and can't wait to see a bit of what the movie will be like. On the the other hand i agree with above comments, i don't want to know what happens in the movie. still, i think my might still download the trailer. hopefully it might lift some of the anticiptaion plaguing my current existence. i don't know, maybe i won't. or i could. i don't know!!

I'm looking forward to it. I gotta agree with the statement that it is almost it's own "art form". I mean unlike you can't judge a book by the cover, many judge a movie by the trailer. If the trailer sucks, most like the film will to. Where I get hacked off is an awesome trailer & sucky movie! 
or a trailer that shows all the good stuff. Just give me a pre-view and keep the best till the end. No mercy then. 
But come on!! This is Joss. Have you ever seen a preview for the next weeks Angel and said "No! now I know to much, I don't want to watch it, it's ruined!!!!" As I recall, for me each preview ie: trailer made me say "Crap! now I gotta wait a week to find out what happens."
As for the idea of "not wanting to know" I am a little that way with LOST. But I have yet to see an episode, where I said, "Yep, I knew that was gonna happen. All because I watched the trailer last week." I only get ticked when some friend of mine says "hey, dude it says in TV guide that *** is gonna *** next week" 
But I have to say most of the TV trailers haven't given anything away.
In fact studio's often tweak the trailers just to mess with your head. In that light it makes them entertaining.
And let's not forget those Gorramm awful trailers FOX did for Firefly, "It's a show about a space hooker & a girl in a box" Puleaeese! 
Ok call me CAPTAIN TANGENT!!!
So I said all that, to say this

I went and saw Sahara at the cinema even though the trailer was trash is that where the quote `trailer trash` comes from?
I thoroughly enjoyed the film, the trailer I saw just didn`t feature complete SFX (very noticable - that a helicopter wasn`t real)It`s a good film, not Indiana Jones by any standards, but very enjoyable `Treasure Hunter` style film with a lady in distress & the world being threatened (no it`s not Tomb Raider either

True, I may have certain things spoiled. I have seen a few still photos of the cast so far. But they haven't meant anything to me so I can pretty much put them out of my mind. If I see a trailer with some context I'm going to remember everything I saw and wait until it actually comes up in the movie.
Even though I probably will have tiny bits of spoilerish information going into the movie, I can still make every effort to avoid it. I turn the channel or whole tv off whenever a star wars commercial comes on. I know next to nothing about that and it comes out in a few weeks...I think.
So, I'm going to be on the same spoiler alert level for Serenity. If I have to stop coming to this site to avoid spoilers, I will. If I have to only watch downloaded tv with the commercials ripped, I will. If I have to stop going to movies, I will.

Also, don't forget that some trailers are comprised completely of deleted scenes from some of the movies they're advertising. I can't think of one offhand...oh wait, Romy and Michelle's High School Reunion's trailer did this. I know that's a crappy example, but, it does happen...I don't think that Universal would do this with Serenity, but, you never can tell...

Hey, Zol, upon your recomendation my wife & I went and saw it last night. Gotta say. We liked it! Good action adventure, and rather family friendly too. It's got my vote. Some great one liners!

Shouldn't be necessary. Weigh in with your opinion here: http://www.fireflyfans.net/thread.asp?b=5&t=9371

I saw Sahara last night, mostly because of people here saying they enjoyed it. I had no high hopes going in based on the trailer. At first, I enjoyed it as mindless entertainment/action-adventure. Then shortly after I looked back and found just so many problems with it. Now it's hard for me to recommend it. Too many holes, and simple things that could have been fixed, if anyone was paying attention while making the film.
Helpful hints when making a movie:
Don't show the climax in the trailer.
Don't let the sidekick outshine the "hero".
plot twist?=good, plot change half way through with out removing the elements of the old plot=bad.
If you show an object getting destroyed, don't show it later in perfect condition.
I guess if you don't think about it after you see it, it's good.
oh well, The Guide will be fun.
