Attention Class!

Movie trailers. They are my favorite commercials. I don't watch television very often and when I do, I skip through the commercials, 30 seconds at a time using the sanity maintenance button, a.k.a fast forward >>.

In contrast though, I do enjoy going to the movies...where essentially I PAY TO WATCH  COMMERCIALS. I purposefully get there early so as not to miss even one of them. Sometimes they tickle my funny bone. Sometimes they pull on my heart strings. Sometimes they simply excite me. The "Man of Steel" trailer is one of my favorites. The music is luscious, the man is beautiful, and we preview the fresh interpretation of an iconic story. A strong man seemingly tortured by his own power. Was this movie preview trying to talk to me, a woman? The heroic music, the apparent torment, the romantic resolve.

I wait for the day I can sit in darkeness amongst friends and strangers to satisify my inner geek. The studio has a future ticket holder right here. My $10 is theirs. That seems like a successful commercial to me.
