Just Release the Trailer Already!



So today I got this email, regarding the new trailer for X-Men Origins: Wolverine. It's cool that they want to give fans the heads up. But there's too many things wrong with this.  First off, all the fans already know that the official version of the trailer comes out today.  Second, all the big fans have already seen the "camera in the theater" version of the trailer, or have seen it in the theater already. Third, why do I have to be a member of myspace to be able to watch this? My myspace people are fans too! Fourth, if you have a trailer just release it! This is not the movie, its a trailer! You are hyping up a trailer! Totally unecessary.  And finally, if the trailer comes out in theaters on a Friday (like this one did with "The Day the Earth Stood Still") just put the trailer online on Friday.  Stop making people wait for it.  No one on Earth is going to go see a movie just for the trailer.  No matter what movie it is.  They'll just look it up on youtube.  

By the way, if you are in the film business and are looking at this and wondering, hmm...how can I save some money? Start firing the people who send this crap out and post the trailers online yourself!
