Even the premise fizzles out when you breathe on it. It's not an idea for a movie, it's a neat daydream.
"Universal also argued that classifying trailers as "commercial speech" could open the door to many more lawsuits from dissatisfied filmgoers, who could make a subjective claim that a film did not live up to the expectations created by the trailer."
I'm fine with this. >


They referred to Jurassic Park, another Universal film, one trailer for which they said was comprised entirely of footage that is not in the movie.

Sounds like a second class action lawsuit is in order.
You can't claim "we didn't it before without penalties" doesn't mean you can do it all you want. >

I just watched Violent Night based on one line in the trailer, "Time for some seasons beatings." 
It wasn't in the movie at all. Still a good movie, but I was a little disappointed.
But David Harbour as an out of shape former-Viking-warrior-turned-Santa swinging a bloody hammer is my new kink, so I got that going for me. >

It looks pretty bad to me based on the trailers, but I’m interested in a new kink like that so maybe I’ll check it out. >

Wish I could sue for the Kangaroo Jack trailer >

Yeah for real. That was straight up false advertising. >

I straight up thought it was a kids movie about a talking kangaroos crazy adventures. >

Well you would. That's how it was marketed. >

Unpopular option: I hate movie trailers. They give up plot lines that ruin the experience for me.  If more trailers had footage cut from the release, I would be so happy. >

Most trailers are just too long. 30 second teasers are fine, but 2 minutes makes it almost impossible to not give it all away unless it's a 4 hour film. >

Especially since most movies today are trashy, unoriginal remakes. I actively avoid trailers at only a slightly higher rate than I avoid the movies themselves. >

I mean, many people choose movies solely based on the actors. Hollywood knows that. They shouldn’t be surprised that people are mad. If someone chose that movie only because it featured AdA, and she wasn’t in the movie, they are right to be angry. It’s false advertising. >

While I understand that. I also am of the mind that many trailers for fantastic movies, or even games, deliberately show very little, or are purposefully misleading to give the viewer a better experience. 
If the whole issue is people not wanting to be mislead by trailers, isn't it a bit of a slippery slope when some of the best trailers that people still remember years after a movie has been released, were misleading on purpose, and we ate that shit up? It even made the movie better. 
Not to mention that movies are considered art and what makes good art is purely subjective. If people go into a movie and are disappointed because it doesn't have a certain actor, then it kinda seems like they weren't really interested in the film and just wanted to pay to see that actor, which is a whole different issue about the commercialism of film. >


and what makes good art is purely subjective.

No, it isn't.  
Do you think people who go to art school just show up to class and have a teacher shrug and say "Eh, fuck if I know, it's all subjective"? >

No, you're right they probably just taught everyone to paint a red square and call it a day /s
You are conflating technique and theory with beauty.
School can teach people technique, but that doesn't inherently give any of their creations value. 
In the same vein, someone who never went to art school can create beautiful works, without any formal education of technique or theory. Because beauty and education aren't the same thing. 
Beauty is subjective, and thus, so is art. What one person hates, another person loves. Just because more people like one thing doesn't make it inherently more beautiful. 
Popularity =/= Quality. >

Can I sue because it was the worst movie I've ever seen? I watched it on the plane and wish I would have watched the flight tracker instead. >

Agree, it had an interesting premise but was one of the worst movies I've seen. I didn't even pay for it and I want a refund.
