Trailer Trash

A lot of the extended trailers these days have a major problem. They tend to ruin so much of the movie it almost isn't worth it anymore. Part of the appeal of a movie, to me, is seeing the entire experience unfold at one time. I'm not trying to say that trailers are bad in general. Without trailers I would never had discovered District 9. However, I hear the later trailers ruined more of the movie which is a shame. It was the intrigue that that skillful trailer created that made me want to see it so much. However, other trailers ruin the plot and sometimes even the twist of movies. Isn't that right, Sam Worthington? Yet, other trailers like Harry Potter, Avatar: The Last Airbender, or Lord of the Rings were simply showing the previous image come to life. The story is known enough to the point that not much needs to be hidden from the public. This brings me to the latest offender that I am having to avoid. I am speaking of Toy Story 3. My friends informs me that the latest trailer reveals the plot of the movie, something I do not want to know. It needs to be fresh going in. I believe that directors need to have control of the trailers released, and people have to be keeping others in check when these trailers are made. I want to get a fresh, exciting cinematic experience for my money.
