why don't cinemas let you pay a buck or two to go in to watch just the trailers? or why not have one screen set aside for people to watch all of the current trailers? they could charge half the regular ticket price or something, and you'd only be there for half an hour or so.

Dark Horizons says: "A.I.: Artifical Intelligence" will have "Harry Potter" Trailer 2, "Planet of the Apes" (if its not the new third one you'll know FOX won't be doing a third one), "Lord of the Rings" Trailer 2, and the big one (in a scary way) - the first teaser for "Scooby Doo".

i don't really want to see the film. i have some issues with that "i see dead people" boy.

some advice for Spielberg and his colleagues: the easiest way to get me to watch a film is to give either the protagonist or antagonist a Big Ass Sword™, or even some minor characters whom we see a lot. (but make sure to put it in the trailer or i won't know about it!). i'd go see A.I. if the tagline was "He's not real, but his love is, and he has a Big Ass Sword™ to smite those who doubt that love." any movie can be improved with the addition of a Big Ass Sword™.

that's arguable with The Sound of Music, but think of that "Sixteen Going On Seventeen" song. i'll guarantee that the nancy-boy Nazi jerk Rolf singing it wouldn't have been so condescending if Liesl had whipped a B.A.S. out of her bodice and hacked off a limb or two. or how about those nuns with their "How do you solve a problem like Maria"? Maria draws her sword, says something like "Solve this, bitch!", then we cut away. later, at sunset, we see Maria, her dress stained crimson, walking out of the convent and licking the blood from the sword. that would be a cool movie.
