The Guardian has an article about movie trailers, which can be the best thing about going to the theatre. Unless it's for Stealth, Jamie Foxx's bid at Lou Gosset Jr. post-Oscar failure.
"once you've seen the highlights, you'll be subsconsciously checking off the scenes that were featured in it as you watch the full-length movie."
I'm guilty of this for sure. I gauge how far in the film we are by how many of the scenes we've passed. I prefer teasers to be honest...
Yeah, I actually don't do the ticking-off thing, though I will notice when something that was in the trailer doesn't show up in the movie.
But I do prefer trailers; a well-crafted one (T2, the Fellowship of the Ring) can give youthat beautiful tingle on the back of your neck signifying cinematic glory. Though one of my all-time favorites is probably the teaser for Star Trek VI, where all they did was project old-school Trek clips onto the hull of a moving model Enterprise, with Christopher Plummer delivering sweet narratio overtop. Absolutely beautiful, rspecially if you're a Classic Trek nerd. :)
