movie marketing cliches and scams

Postby cavalierlwt » Mon Oct 03, 2005 9:42 pm

Ever saw the trailer for movie, went to see the movie, and found out that it was nothing like the trailer?

Someone did a really funny parody 'trailer' for the classic horror picture 'The Shining'.
Great example of how they can create any kind of trailer regardless of the actual movie content.

If it doesn't work directly clicking on it, try the old 'right click, save as...' method.

Requires 'quicktime' from Apple.

Would have been even more impressive if they had given the same style of trailer for 'Schindler's List'
:P
