Wow… That had so much angst in it I felt like I was watching something by Ingmar Bergman! Any traces of the feel-good genre was ripped out by a pitch fork!

…but in a good way. :-)

Yeah, I guess it was kind of funny. There are definitely better re-cut trailers than this. I’ll admit they chose good clips, but 2 big problems: 1) It was way too long. 2) All it is is a montage–when cutting any trailer, you usually hint at a story, which this completely fails to do. All it is is a bunch of semi-dramatic moments strung together.

wow, september11th is also the Comic Book Guy from The Simpsons. “Worst remix ever!” You have no soul!

That was great. I love that song, and the entire soundtrack from Requim. It’s a little long, but clever none-the-less.

Wow, I never realized how depressing Ferris Bueller’s Day Off was. Good stuff.

Shows how music can change the mood of a film. This bit just
sucked all the fun out of this movie. LoL Such a wonderful
score.

THAT WAS BRILLIANT!!!!!!!!!!!

if you showed that to someone who hasn’t seen the film, they would never belive what that film is really about.

That soundtrack is amazing!!!!

Very nice, it proves how important music is to films and also how different a trailer can be to the final product, very well done.
