Nice day for dratfink (and it's not even 11:30.) I checked out that trailervision link (couldn't resist the upgraded rating it got) but alas my poor machine is a little too slow. I waited for about 20% of ModeMan to download, so I got to see that much at least. Very funny. I've thought before that movie trailers are really the heart of movie making. Aren't most movies way too long? It's a sort of Borgesian take on making art ("Why would I take 400 pages to say what I can say in 3?") I usually hate trailers because they give away the whole story, but if you turn that around and only give me the trailer - well, we might have something there. (Plus, if I was going to watch a movie on the net, say, at work, I certainly wouldn't want it to be 3 hours long. A minute and a half seems about right.) Thanks Dave.
