I hate movie previews.

The ones in the theatre. I just hate them all. I really do, and I wish they would all burn in hell. I haven't seen a movie recently, I just hate movie previews.

Gather, and discuss.

I actually like movie previews, they show the best parts of the movie in 2 mins... which is actually better then sitting through 2 hrs of lameness to see those 2 good mins.

I avoid most of those by getting to the theater with about 10 minute or less. I also dont go the first two weeks a movie is released that way I can avoid the crowds.

To be fair I have yet to see a movie since Batman Begins, as maybe look stupid. I am however looking to see The Brothers Grimm, and cant wait for Underworld Evolution to be released (date is in December).

underworld wha? i personally like preveiws, it the crappy music/ads they put before the movie. how can a place that runs ads for a half an hours before the actual thing you pay $10-15 for expect you to STILL pay 5 bucks for a crappy popcorn.

Last Time i went to the movies it cost more for 1 popcorn and 1 soda than the ticket cost. And the ads before the movie are all the same they just repeate. I am bothways about previews i like them and then don't.

one thing i do hate about prewiews is they put previews according to the rating. if you go to a pg movie, youll automatically get "Spy kids five, in 3-d!!!!!"

not only that, but the previews are for more stupid movies.

What I really hate are the remakes. Everywhere you turn now there's a remake or a crappy sequel. why can't they come up with any good, new movie ideas?!

And just give that cruddy "Spy Kidz" series a rest already. The movies were all bullexcrement, and they had to bring audiences back in with a 3D gimmick. And thgey used the blue-red 3D glasses which make the movie look like 3D excrement. (from what I saw from the commercials and my experience with 3D glasses. I never saw the movie, but the five minutes of the second one I flipped through made me want to gouge my eyes out.)

And then there's crap like "Shark Boy and Lavagirl in 3D, which an eight-year-old came up with. It only got half a star out of five in ALL the reviews I read in the paper.

Hey, Hollywood execs... WE WANT GOOD ORIGINALITY!!!!

Movie previews aren't bad (Die Hard 3 trailer still one of my favorites) but the damn Nike/Pepsi/iPod/whatever commercials BEFORE the trailer are a real crime.

TV used to be free because there were ads. Now TV isn't free (cable, dish) and there's still ads. Movies have always cost money and have always had previews and now they had product ads too. Wil Smith wearing Converse sneakers IN a film is one thing, OK I get he needs to wear shoes to kick a robot's a$$, but sitting through a Levi's commerical BEFORE the movie I paid for is another.

I've seen some movies where there's seriously 20 minutes of crap in front of it. (Sith I believe was one) The MPAA actually has a time limit on trailers themselves, 2 minutes 30 seconds per trailer, after people complained of some uber-long Forest Gump Oscar gimme gimme re-release trailers 10 years ago. Too bad they don't have a crappy product ad limit.

Oh and it's too bad nobody will go see Transporter 2 this weekend. The first one rocked, but BO is gonna tank with gas like it is.

no, you can go over 2:30, but you have to compensate by shortening another trailer. i read it somewhere
