Sometimes trailers come attached and sometimes they come in the can. Usually they are shipped direct from the studio with a little note saying, "please program this trailer on "x" film." We almost always play the trailers that are attached but it is possible to remove them and put different ones on. Also, the studio sends out trailer checkers to watch the start of every film and make sure that the trailers that are shown are the ones that were agreed upon by the film buyer and the studio.

Buffista Movies 6: lies and videotape
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.

So I finally saw 300. It had some cool fight scenes! And then 90 minutes of other stuff.

Hey. New board.
I like the Across the Universe trailer. It is awesomely trippy. And I have an Evan Rachel Wood problem (in a good way) despite her disturbing personal life choices. I am sad to hear that the movie was thiefed from its director and I hope it does not suck.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.
The Sentinel was filmed in my neighborhood!
I see that movie, and all I can think is, "that gateway to Hell is landmarked! You can't destroy it! You have to restore it to its original condition!"

Not sure remaking it would make me like it more. Its very much of its timeness aside, I loved it.
edited to try some punctuation...on a lark.

Hey, me too! I actually saw that in the theater. The ending was way too "let's set up the sequel" (that never came), but I really like a lot of the movie.

I have a question for the movie peeps - I just watched Night at the Museum, and Owen Wilson had a fairly talky role, but he's uncredited. What would be reasons for that? Just curious.
Cute movie.

It was supposed to be a cameo done just because he's friends with Ben Stiller. The test audiences liked the wee cowboy so much the PTB went back to the cutting room floor and made it a bigger role.

Oh, the wee cowboy was fantastic (but I am completely unobjective WRT to Owen Wilson; I adore him), as was the wee Roman general (or whatever). And "I won't quit you!" was my favorite shout out. I was curious because it seemed like a large enough role to be more than just a cameo among friends, but that explains it.
