Too many times, we’ve suffered through a poorly directed film (or Brittany Murphy movie) and admitted the only aspect which kept us from banging our head up against the overpriced tub of popcorn was the trailer lineup. Sad, but for many of us, often the trailers are the best part of the money-sucking movie experience. Bam Cinematek understands our appreciation (as well as our ADD) and tonight at 7:00 PM, the theatre will present an entire evening of trailers, including campy hits (Bit Top Pee Wee), hilarious horror (Twisted Nerve), classics (The Shining), and even Orson Welles’ F for Fake. Thereafter, the audience gets to vote on their favorite trailer and the winning film will screen in December. And yes, we strongly suggest voting for The Shining. BAM, 30 Lafayette Avenue between Ashland Place and St. Felix Street; $10

weird. for me, watching the previews is the part i dislike the most about going to the movies. i'm always disappointed after each one when it looks like the feature is about to start, but actually it's just another preview. i'm hoping the ny city council is successful in getting theaters to post actual movie times, i'll start going to movies twice as often.
well yes trailers are mostly annoying as heck, but they somehow got me to go to Dark Water. On other occasions they actually make a really good movie sound bad. The times when i actually bother to go see that bad trailer and ends up good i get a ton of people and go again, and the part i hate is listening to all the people i know saying, "Oh what's going to happen next?!?!" well thats my thoughts on the randomised commets about trailers and effect.
