Because essentially, isn't a trailer a sort of advertisement? To whom am I advertising, exactly? Well, I guess I'm advertising to YOU!

I've wanted to do this for the last couple of days, strictly for my own reference, but between being a little sick and having some mild drama with the girlfriend (resolved), I haven't really done much to contribute to the kipple on the internet for a few days. So here's something.
