You are now watching: THINK! An INGLORIOUS trailer (video blog)

Posted on: Sunday, March 8th, 2009

inglorious-basterds-postersFor many, the previews are the best part of the movie-going experience. They are for me. And why not? Watching trailers is like falling in love without the the hassle of the relationship. Often, their appeal is purely superficial and that’s just fine. Quick-cut editing, eye candy and a propulsive underscore… and I’m ready for a one-night stand or a one-year wait. I am such a sucker for coming attractions that I hunt them down on-line fixin’ for that dopamine rush they provide. Yes, most trailers are better than the movies they promote, but at least they offer a legitimate thrill no matter how fleeting, like a cinematic snort of butyl nitrite. (That’s Locker Room or Rush for you brand whores.) Of course, some previews just leave us feeling cheated, like a best friend’s half-assed description of a flat-assed blind date. It was with this trepidation that I readied myself for the INGLORIOUS BASTERDS teaser. Watch today’s THINK piece below for my take on Quentin Tarantino‘s latest come-on.

Then, share your thoughts about your favorite and least favorite trailers of all time. What movies are you most looking forward to this year?
