[random] false advertising; you should be ashamed.

NEW RULE:
Movies and TV Shows are no longer allowed to make posters/promos/trailers that are cooler than the actual product. That's just false advertising.

This is in no relation to me seeing 127 Hours tonight. I liked it.



ETA: Here is an unrelated example. The "right" version is actually the real DVD cover. I made the "wrong" version. With the "right" version, you have no misconceptions about what you should expect. (Go Disney!) With the "wrong" version, you're just blindsided:

RIGHT	WRONG

I hate when that happens with trailers. You see a trailer for a movie that looks like SO MUCH FUN only to watch said movie, and wish you could get back the hour, or so you (feel like) was wasted on the movie. Meh.
