Really? If so, that sounds good to me. I get so tired of seeing previews for what look like brilliant suspense or horror movies, then when you see them, it's just another two hours of entrails, swearing, and gratuitous you-name-it. Did anyone see the preview for Event Horizon? If they'd left it at that, it would have been one of the greatest five-minute classic horror movies ever. In reality, well, there are only so many times I want to watch Sam Neill eat his own eyeballs. (Pick a number between zero and one...)
The Matrix has been one of the few recent movies I've seen where the previews not only made me want to see the movie, but the movie itself actually turned out to be better than I expected from the previews.
