Previews ...what did you see thread.

I thought maybe we could do this with all the films we see to just list the previews/trailers that you saw attached to your film in your theater. I think some movies and chains show the same ones, but some don't or some add a couple.

I always love to know what to look forward to or what I missed out on if it wasn't attached to my particular showing.
Also, we could give a little of what we thought of the trailer, but not required.

We could just list the movie and the previews. Might be fun. Who knows....

Movie:
Tropic Thunder (not counting the fake trailers)

Previews:
1. Ghost Town...i really liked the feel of this Greg Kinnear, Ricky Gervais comedy
2. Eagle Eye...really getting tired of this one.
3. Nights in Rodanthe...it's funny bc i just saw "Unfaithful" again the other night. really like Diane Lane and Richard Gere's chemistry, but this isn't really my type of movie.
4. Disaster Movie...ugh!
5. Lakeview Terrace...Pacific Heights remake!
6. Choke..Sam Rockwell, rocks!

Movie:
Tropic Thunder

Trailers:
Role Models - thought this looked hilarious. Love Paul Rudd.
W. - Meh
Eagle Eye - Maybe
Body of Lies - Looked good
Lakeview Terrace - Meh. DVD.
Ghost Town - Maybe...reminded me of the 90s comedy Heart and Souls with Downey Jr.
College - Wait for DVD.
Nick and Norah's Infinite PLaylist- Wait for DVD.


Think that was it...for real this time...

Previews:
1. Ghost Town (looks silly and a bit high concept but its Ricky Gervais and maybe enjoyable
2. Eagle Eye (My most overseen boring trailer since Vantage Point)
3. Sex Drive (No thanks)
4. College (looks like absolute shit)

I can't remember them all, but for Tropic Thunder I remember at least...

Ghost Town - looked stupid.
Eagle Eye - eh, seen the same trailer like 4 times now.
Lakeview Terrace - lame.
Role Models - Looks funny, almost like an Apatow movie considering the cast that's in it.
Nick and Norah - meh. Don't care for Michael Cera.

I missed some of the previews for Tropic Thunder. Had Ghost Town, Eagle Eye, Body of Lies, and Lakeview Terrace as well as that terrible looking Al Pacino/Robert DeNiro movie coming out.

Dark Knight had Quantum of Solace, that terrible Alpa Chino/DeNiro flick, Eagle Eye, The Watchmen, Body of Lies and a couple I can't remember right now.

My trailers from Tropic Thunder IIRC:

Eagle Eye (hasn't become a burden yet unlike the brutality I endured leading up to Vantage Point, and for some reason the rumors that this movie is actually good has me interested)
Ghost Town (meh)
Role Models (again, the actual movie will be funnier)
Hamlet 2 (looks extremely un-PC, right up my alley)
Choke (very excited about this one, but the red-band beats the shit out of the regular)
Something else I can't remember for the life of me...probably looked bad.

I saw some people mentioned College. Saw that before Hellboy II, looks like a horrendous, low-rate Superbad.

Burn After Reading:

Frost/Nixon (looks solid)
Milk (Penn? Hirsch? Brolin? Franco? Fuck yeah)
The International (this could be pretty great, love Owen's swagger at the end of the trailer)
Choke (can't wait)
W. (ditto)
The Brothers Bloom (if Wes Anderson made Matchstick Men...a must see)
