You’re sitting in a movie theater. The lights dim. The screen explodes with that familiar candy-apple green background.
Fuck. yes.
You know the thrill you get when you see an awesome trailer for a movie you’ve been waiting for, or maybe one you never even knew existed?
Yeah, these aren’t those trailers.
My name is Aaron Shively. I love movie trailers. I love great, fantastic, amazing, evocative trailers that get your heart-thumping, your blood-pumping, and your genitals oozing. I also love stupid, gimmicky, false, corny, cheesy trailers that make you want to toss a brick at the next face you lay eyes upon.
So I created this site to share my insights on movie trailers. I figured, if a movie can be reviewed a billion times until every Tom, Dick, and Harry has waxed poetic on the philosophic messages in Norm of the North, then why can’t trailers be reviewed? Our society’s collective attention span is shortening, and here are these concise little mini-movies just waiting to be examined.
I’m reviewing the trailers on their own merits, not the movie’s, not the source material’s. Only by specific criteria pertaining to trailers like coherency, originality, completeness, and whether or not the trailer accurately depicted the film it’s marketing. You can expect old trailers, bad trailers, good trailers, new trailers, cult trailers, gross trailers, kid’s trailers, and everything else that could market a film through moving pictures.
My sadistic aggregator, Captain Treaclesack tells me what to review. So if you have an issue with the collection, blame him.
Am I doing anything novel? No. Are you still reading this? Doubtful. Do I care? Absolutely not.
I know now why you cry.
