Spin — or Mock Trailers

From All Things Considered for February 10:

Movie previews have a tough task. In roughly two minutes, they are supposed to establish what a two-hour movie will be like, conveying all its moods without giving away too much. Often, the preview will completely misrepresent what ends up on screen, and in some cases, that is the point

If you have a good connection, you’ll enjoy the trailers linked in this NPR feature:

Brokeback to the Future
The Shining

and others, all to be found at YouTube.

Thanks to my farflung network of correspondents for this tip.
