We have teasers for the trailers and a marketing campaign that says things such as “see the new trailer for this bitchin’ $MOVIE before THIS AWSOME $MOVIE_B!” What the next step? people who queue in front of the theatres to get tickets to see the trailers? Or have Star Wars-fans already done that? Because what the FUCK!? It’s a trailer, a fucking promotion piece of shallowness. I love movies. Ask my firends, they’d say “Nicklas love movies. He really do. Even some that he shouldn’t love but that’t Nicklas for you.”

No trailer—exceptions granted for the Comedian and This is Spinal—is worth the time to go and pay for it at a fucking theatre. The idea to make a fuzz about this and present it as a gosh-wow-kind of thing—like the recent Kong-teaser—just makes me sick. Kill the egos in the fucking PR-department please—they appear to make far too much money as it is.

1. Well I kinda love trailers. Come to think of it I kinda think that trailers kick ass. BUT: I do know that just becuase I like the trailer or the teaser or whatever, that the movie in the end could very well suck. And if it does, I can always go back and watch the minute long trailer and say: “Hey at least the trailer was good.”
   
   Smart people KNOW that a good trailer does NOT mean good movie and vice versa. People that don’t posses knowledge are just stupid.

2. I try to stay clear of them ever since Hollywood forgot how to make them properly. A trailer shouldn’t spoil big things and it should have more than just big dumb action-scenes.
