Need a pick me up.
I have always loved movie previews.
Ever since I was little, I would neurotically ensure that I be seated in time to catch the whole roll of trailers.
There's sometyhing about the packaging of a trailer that makes it more enjoyable than a whole movie.
It's an exciting promise.
If the movie is a crappy comedy, the trailer can include the two moments that were actually laugh worthy and seem like a good flick.
If it's a thriller, the trailer can be one three minute cliff hanger and glaze over the gaping holes in the plot that will eventually expose the movie as garbage.
If it's a drama, the trailer can present the heart-wrenching premise without showing the sappy build up that will surely make most nauseuous.
There's so much possibilities in the preview.
It's like the last day of high- school when summer is impending.
Move in day Freshman year at college.
The beginning of a career.
A beautiful marriage ceremony.
And just like life, sometimes the real thing delivers and many times it flops.
So next time you need a pick me up, check out some trailers.
