I'd like to see more captions for the trailers - you give them your hamburger rating, but I, for one, want to know where you are coming from.

I see Al Pacino's picture for some movie I hadn't heard of, and one hamburger - what!? It's Pacino! Then two spotlight trailers, 3 hamburgers each, both with small write-ups. Just under them, a four hamburger trailer for some flick I haven't heard of. The first two Vice trailers get 4 hamburgers, then 3 for the international one - what changed for less interest?

I know you're busy, but even a sentence as to know where you are coming from would be awesome, and I think flavor up the page a bit more. The idea of the hamburgers, for me, is to know what I should check out first - and your spotlight trailers help a lot there, but from there on out, it's more.... I dunno - confusing.

Thanks for listening.

Most of the site's sections are no longer handled by lonely ol' me anymore, but a bunch of cool, dedicated folks who help with the site. In the case of our TRAILERS section, the same man who writes up our weekly IN THEATERS FRIDAY column on JoBlo.com, Alex Keen, is the man behind the plan and the one who now rates trailers.

Obviously, it would take up waaaaay too much time to comment on every single trailer up there, but as of this weekend, we are upgrading our TRAILERS section, so that YOU (and everyone like you) can vote on the trailers yourselves, and provide another average to the site. Not sure where we're gonna go with that, but I imagine adding a COMMENTS section to each TRAILER page might make sense in the future as well, so that you all can contribute there as well.

This should be up by Monday or something.

If you have any comments/suggestions, please let us know. Thanks!
