Avatar The Last Airbender is coming out this week. I won't say much about it, needless to say I'm hesitant since seeing the trailers. It's clearly going to be a different feel from the tv show I've come to know and love. Watching the trailers though got me to thinking about other trailers I've seen in the past.

MOVIE: Holy SHIT! The whole MOVIE is a trailer!!! KICK ASS!
4) Karate Kid (2010)

3) Burn After Reading
TRAILER: I can't tell what the hell is going on. This looks stupid.

2) Splice
TRAILER: Creature feature. Meh. Those stopped scaring me fifteen years ago.
MOVIE: *SHUDDER* You do NOT do that with... whatever the hell that thing is! Wrong... wrong... WRONG!!!
1) Paranormal Activity
TRAILER: Blair Witch/Ghost Hunters! Booga booga! Yeah, nice try.
MOVIE: AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!
*** BONUS ROUND ***
Yeah alright fine. I'll throw one in to the actual category of discussion.

I was pumped to check this show out. Gerard Butler going all super science instead of super-SPARTA? Hell yes!
Too I spent the whole movie rooting for the wrong player. Damn I was pissed!
