And the trailer has to have the Inception 'BWOOOOOH' noise. They're all doing it nowadays.

But seriously... let's see... Rise of the Planet of the Apes does it, Modern Warfare 3 does it, Battlefield 3 does it, Super 8 does it (to an extent), I could go on.
I will admit that it's badass but it's getting old already.

its like trying to watch a film whilst fading in and out of conciousness.

For example, if the trailer's for a comedy, there will ALWAYS be a part where the music cuts out and a dumb line is said.
Sometimes it happens more than once a trailer.

or the burp at the end of the trailer to make the kids go 'wow, that looks worth seeing'
I do enjoy those links where they recut trailers to make them different films, such as the shining as a comedy.
Its amazing how much power a trailer has over the film. I think it was solaris or something that had a trailer that made it look like 'Alien', rather than the subtle, lovely film it was.

Sometimes it can work in the film's favour, but in some cases, like Inglorious Basterds, it made it look like a light hearted Nazi fighting romp, which it, well, wasn't.
The exposition in a trailer is very important too. For example, people complain the Dark Knight Rises trailer shows nothing at all. I disagree; I'd still be satisfied if it's the only trailer released for it.
