Movie Trailers may have started out as a tool to sell films, but over time they have evolved into their own spectacle. Before a film is released there are a multitude of Theatrical Trailers, TV Spots, Web Shorts, and even Trailers before the Trailer starts. How did Hollywood turn from a simple marketing tool, to a an ever expansive industry of movie trailers that mostly give away the entire plot of the film? How did Hollywood crush the Movie Trailer?

I agree. I’m no marathon kbin contributor, but I like it here a lot and I would be happier if this thread was about what we can do to support kbin as an instance.
If mbin where a placeholder for doing this (as in if certain permissions aren’t available yet) then I’d be buoyed up by OP’s thread.
Anyhoo, viva la kbin, viva la federation!

Yup, sounds about right. Plus less tolerance
of freedom of assembly, and civil disobedience in major Western democracies will continue.

 

With help from PwC Cyprus, Hushang Ansary set up shell companies and oversaw a series of transactions that authorities say drained a Curacao fund holding pensions for 30,000 people.

Sorry for late reply, still getting used to the fediverse.

Everyday for the weather, ETS gets replaced by similar concepts.

Thanks for asking. Have a nice one.

He’s a stunt, JFK’s generational legacy is a reminder that aristocracy has not gone away, it just pantomimes as a participant in democracy.

The reason kiwis are scoring so high is due to our burning desire to go up to foreigners and ask them “so what do you think of New Zealand?”.

Naivety comes a distant second behind our obsession with finding out how we’re doing on the ‘world stage’.

We’d be asking it before the refugees were out of the harbour as we gave them their cup of Milo.

The ETS is on my mind, and the strange weather.
