​We Have Some Thoughts About This Week’s ‘Best’ Trailers

It's Friday afternoon, what else do you have to do but watch some explosions?

Still from Resident Evil: The Final Chapter (yeah right.)

I love trailers. They're often a distillation of the only truly watchable parts of a movie and the promise of something greater. Adam Sandler seems funny. You convince yourself Keira Knightley is charming. Trailers are hope, possibility, imagination. Where the final product is usually disappointment, unfulfilled dreams, reality.

More things should have trailers. Imagine if before you bought a vacuum cleaner you could watch a 30 second tease that showed you exactly how that vacuum would perform on your trash rugs? And then ended with an explosion? Definitely beats reading five pages of shitty Amazon reviews and then just giving up and buying the cheapest one.

Anyway, trailers are also a great way to kill some time at work on a slow Friday afternoon, so let's watch some shit blow up.
