Case in point, Pearl Harbor. Now Memoirs of a Geisha was abeautiful film, but the trailer packed in more than enough plot and cinematic gems that it was beautiful in it's own right. Trailers can be beautiful or cringe-worthy, and more times than not the cringe-worthy trailers fail to have a good follow up film. Maybe it's because I'm partial to trailers, but there takes a great amount of creativity and artistry to make a short story (2 minutes) to entice people to watch the whole thing. And it's hard to not give away things in the preview.

Let me put this in my architectural terms... "some of the greatest architecture of the past ten years have been rest stop bathrooms..." splain yourself sir. The only trailer I can remember in the past ten years involved battle droids parading over naboo grassland... “some of the greatest film art of the past 10 years have been in trailer form…”… Let me put this in my architectural terms… “some of the greatest architecture of the past ten years have been rest stop bathrooms…” splain yourself sir.
