Commander Fury Posted August 17, 2011 Report Posted August 17, 2011 Fun fact of the day: Trailers used to be shown at the <em>end</em> of a movie. Hence the name trailer. Because it <em>trailed</em> the mov- you know what, you probably got it. Eventually, the marketing people woke up and realized that no one sticks around after a film, so they moved it to the beginning. However, the name “trailer†stuck. Probably because the name "beginnier" is lamer than my 17th birthday (it involved a gluten-free cake and a Pauly Shore marathon - you do the math). Nowadays, marketing people have gotten even savvier. You can watch a trailer - <em>on the internet!</em> Now you don't have to drain your 401k watching Jason Statham punch various objects and/or people just to get a glimpse at the trailer for whatever beacon of enjoyable entertainment that’s on the horizon.
