Awesome Previews

Have you seen a movie preview that has made you all super hyped up for the movie it’s promoting? Like, a giddy, jiggling in your seat, peeing your pants with excitement kind of preview? Yeah, me too. Now, have you ever seen a movie preview that has made you all super hyped up for the movie it’s promoting, and then you see the movie and the movie BLOWS?!

That SUCKS! They basically lied to you. It’s basically telling you something is way cooler than it truly is. Like parents telling you college is important, or teachers telling you that college is important, or friends telling you that college is important.

Hmmm, I appear to be stuck in a repeat. Anyway, the movie PineApple Express was what made me make this realization, because as much as I LOVED the film, it’s previews DID make it seem a whole hell of a lot better than it truly was. TV shows do the same thing. They’re like, usually dramas, “Next week, it’s the biggest turn yet!” and it has someone returning from the dead, and you think it’s gonna be like, the first 5 minutes and the entire rest of the episode will be them discussing where they’ve been….

WRONG!

They return in the LAST 5 minutes, and then you have to WAIT another week, which is stupid because you basically saw the biggest shocker IN THE PREVIEW! Ugh, previews piss me off. But for some reason everyone says they’re what we hate when we go to see a movie. Nuh-uh, Americans LOVE previews, but just won’t admit it. Kinda like ABBA.
