Soapbox, anybody got a soapbox?

[Gullom]

I bought The Village, I looked on the back at the specs...NO THEATERICAL TRAILER?!?!?! I looked at the specs for I, Robot, again, No theatrical trailer!!

My wife and I are borrowing Nicholas Nickelby, and I look on the back, there is a trailer! Why would something (in my opinion) as lame as NN have a trailer, but not something as cool as The Village, or I, Robot have it's own trailer?!

This is my rant...Am I wrong in understanding that the DVD format is supposed to offer the best in quality of audio, visual, and OPTIONS?

Why in the world would anyone (Director, movie company, etc.) not include something as simple as the theatrical trailer on the DVD? My wife had not seen trailers for I, Robot or The Village for months, so I wanted to show her again..."OH WAIT, We forgot the trailer!!"

Why is this not a standard in the DVD industry? It also ticked me off when LotR EE's were released to find no trailer on those either, only the theatrical edition...what gives? The least New Line or P.J. could have done was include the 6 minute super trailer on the RotK EE, but no, they decided to put all trailers on the lame theatrical edition.

*sigh*

That does suck. I personally love watching trailers.

[B1rd_Po0p]

that does suck: I like the trailers too... Shaun of the Dead has the trailer!! I was so happy. Some of the films have the theatrical version and the versions shown on TV.

You'll have to wait for the special collectors ultimate anniversary trailer edition DVD.

The one last thing they should have squeezed into the LOTR EE is the trailers
none of the three EEs have trailers

Altough it would be nice to see trailer on the EE, I understand why they don't have them.

After all, if you want to see them, all you gotta do this is go here: http://www.lordoftherings.net/trailers/

I suppose in the case of the EE's of LOTR Peter Jackson could argue that they aren't theatrical releases per se therefore there isn't any specifically tailored promo material available but I do agree it's generally a poor show not to include trailers on DVDs.

I agree. Years back I bought Mission Impossible 2, which had a sick trailer, but was not included on the DVD. Awesome Ben Stiller bit, though.

yeah, those are the full trailers, but they don't have the teaser trailers anywhere
