What I really, really, REALLY hate about them is that they *never* show them AFTER the movie comes out, which is their rightful place, or would be if they weren't, as Paul says, part of the ad campaign. I would love to see a Making Of documentary AFTER I've seen the movie. I refuse to watch them before I've seen the movie. Even if you handcuff me to the sofa and hold a gun to my head. Never, never, never.
