> This is the way Kubrick wanted it, and with good reason. I am sick and tired of movie trailers telling me the whole story of whatever movies they're advertising. "The Negotiator," one of the best action movies in recent years, was almost ruined for me by that ridiculous trailer. The trailer for the upcoming "The Iron Giant" seems like the editors had a checklist of spoilers to make a point to reveal. It's absurd. I applaud Warner Brothers' marketing decisions on "Eyes Wide Shut," even if the non-spoiler marketing was due less to reasons of artistic integrity and more because the marketing department didn't know how to sell it. (I suspect the real reason is a generous helping of both.)

I see where you're coming from, but, for me, the biggest turn-off when it comes to movies is when I have absolutely *no* idea what the film is about. I don't want to know all the details, or any spoilers, or anything like that; what I'm after is a basic overview, rather like what you'd see on the back cover of a book.
