When I journey to the local cinema to view a film I highly anticipate, the last thing I want to see is a shitty trailer for a shitty flick. Even if the movie turns out to be decent, I always look back at the trailer and remember absolutely dismissing it. Why? Well, I’ll tell you why! Firstly, like I said before I want to dive right into the film I paid hard earned cash to see, not be inundated by poor excuses for marketing, which includes commericals, a major no no in a cinema. We see commercials everyday at home on TV, but, that’s not enough for the corporate cocksuckers, they have to follow you all the way to the movie theater as well. Secondly, this is going to sound ludicrous, even stupid perhaps, but the main flaw with trailers is the fact that their purpose is to make you see the movie. I know it sounds dumb, but I don’t like being coercioned into buying a product. Trailers suck the art right out of the films so they can appeal to certain demographics. Just watch the trailer for Fight Club it’s aimed towards “tough,” “manly” men, when that is exactly the kind of attitude the film condemns. I really disdain when the directors of these trailers try sooo hard to incorporte the “funny” parts: meaningless one liners, the “dramatic/sad” parts: meaningless one liners again, this time sadder and more pathetic, and the “scary” parts: lots of screaming, menacing music, and the most cliched and my most despised technique, the creepy, little girl voice. I fucking can’t stand that! Trailors should make you want to see the flick, but not make it obvious!
In spite of all this ranting, I must admit several trailors are unique and/or at least effectively use the aforementioned “boring” techniqus to woo me into checking out their movie. So, what’s my favorite trailor? 3 way tie: Pulp Fiction, Clerks, and The Devil and Daniel Johnston. So, here they are:
