A couple days ago, I was browsing through movie trailers over on Apple’s trailer site and watched a few trailers.  Some I’d seen before and there were several new ones that looked interesting to me.  One new one I  hadn’t watched was Lakeview Terrace.  The trailer impressed me and made me want to watch the movie when it comes out, tilllll….the entire movie was given away in one scene.  Now I’m all about having a trailer that’s exciting and draws people into the movie, but giving away the entire plot is just stupid.  Here’s the link to the trailer.  At 1:13 everything just goes to crap.  It sounds like a racial problem is about to b brought up, but then, the color blue is brought up.  The dude’s a cop.  OH NO!  Now why did they do this?  Do I want to see the movie now?  I now know the entire reason that this guy’s able to mess with his new neighbors.  Wouldn’t it be nice to be able to try and figure out what the reason for the movie is?  They so could have totally pulled off the trailer without giving away that the guy’s a cop and the neighbor is pretty much helpless against that.  I’m now probably not going to go see this as I feel like I’ve seen pretty much the whole thing.  Part of the going to the theater to watch a movie is the suspense of not knowing what’s going to happen to the characters, especially in a thriller/drama/suspense movie.  I feel like I just got jipped on this one, luckily there was no cost involved.

Who else feels this way about giving away movies?
