And there we have it. 'On the Buses' gritty reboot!
And the trailer has to have the Inception 'BWOOOOOH' noise. They're all doing it nowadays.

That works too ^^
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.

those slow, repetitive fade to black cuts piss me the fuck off too
its like trying to watch a film whilst fading in and out of conciousness.

When you realize the same tricks trailers pull, it's hard to not notice them.
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.

not to mention the slapstick 'face hits something' moment
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.

I know exactly what you mean.
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.
