I'm guessing it's because some trailer-making hacks at Disney create them, not Pixar people.
When you look back at this, in the three seconds it'll take you to turn to dust, I think you'll find the mistake was touching my stuff.

Buffista Movies 5: Development Hell
A place to talk about movies--old and new, good and bad, high art and high cheese. It's the place to place your kittens on the award winners, gossip about upcoming fims and discuss DVD releases and extras. Spoiler policy: White font all plot-related discussion until a movie's been in wide release two weeks, and keep the major HSQ in white font until two weeks after the video/DVD release.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
But didn't the first Cars trailer seem to have stuff that was made just for the trailer? Like the cars were talking about the movie? Because that suggests Pixar involvement.

move out and draw fire
Pixar trailers are always discouraging for some reason. I've never liked any of them.
I completely agree. But with Finding Nemo, even the premise sounded horrible...and yet.

Sean, re: your X3 whitefont, what about the trailer makes you think that they're not building up to Dark Phoenix? I admit I know very little about the comic, so I don't know how Dark Phoenix is supposed to look or act or what she does, but I definitely got the feeling from the trailer that there's something freaky and not-right about Jean. And I'll be irritated too if they don't go that route after all!

It's nothing about the trailer, Kate. It's an article about the movie in a recent EW. I don't know that they've killed the storyloine entirely, but they spell out in pretty clear terms that it's not at all the main plot.

Aw, crap, that is disappointing. Ah well. At least my expectations are appropriately lowered now.

Yeah, I'm still planning on seeing it, and I'm hoping I'll be pleasently surprised, but I've made sure to lower my expectations quite a bit.

Due to DVD release I finally got a chance to see Goblet of Fire. I have to put it as my least favorite of the HP series of movies. It seemed like it just jumped around from scene to scene. It was fun to see the tasks in movie form, but I'd still put it in last.

Which one is your favorite?
I enjoyed GoF but my favorite is PoA.

Really? I'd put it at a close second to PoA (with Sorceror's Stone and Chamber of Secrets following). Yes, it was very episodic, and could have used a more flowing edit job, but all the kids really stepped it up with their acting skills, and Gleeson and Gambon were both excellent. Even the little moments with Snape and McGonagall were fun (loved seeing Snape patrolling the study hall session, and the dance lesson was a hoot).
