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.

they do leave you guessing a bit sometimes. I don't understand why people are rioting.
Or maybe I'm just being naive. After all, it was about a week after reading about it on BBC News before I realised that no-fly zone was a euphemism for air strikes.

But it's once again an excuse for people to be cunts, looting and destroying other innocent peoples property.
Where's the justice for them?

to vent frustrations against a system that they feel persecutes or neglects them. Even though it's much the same system that stands between them and "survival of the fittest".
They also get to vent their violent tendencies and greed - "Wa-hey! Free stuff! The chance to smash other stuff!"

If a paedophile is angry with the police because someone is shot is he allowed to go and rape a child to air his frustration?
I'd guess it was more to do with the fact that a large number who turned up couldn't give a shit about the person who was shot or whether the police behaved according to the rule book or not, they just wanted to rob and steal which prevents a far simpler discussion and chance for proof of actual events.

I reckon there should be a similar one for the first person to bring up paedophiles in the course of a thread. ;)
