Trailers can be re-cut, so trailers can LIE.


by Jillian Leigh, Ampersandology


Looking up fake trailers on YouTube is a worthwhile pastime fun, but it sure can eat up your time! In the interest of the public good, I smoked out the creme of the crop. But less for the "public good" and more more because I didn't want to go all Sophie's Choice and pick my favorite. 


Here's the only thing I want you to take away from this: CONTEXT IS EVERYTHING. 








Full disclosure: I have already watched the following trailer five times today, and have no plans to abandon what I see as a worthy pursuit. In addition: PRINCIPAL FIREBUSH.






Man, would I ever watch 10 Things I Hate About Commandments.  Also: Yul Brynner can put the i in my king anytime.

Wait. That came out wrong. OR DID IT?

Oh whatever. He's outstanding, you see, is the real thesis of my thinking here. I had more puns but then I got discouraged.
