I'm not disagreeing with what you're saying but just as an aside frequently you are NOT seeing actual clips from a movie in the trailers or other advertising. Many ad related materials are put together before shooting has finished (in some cases before its even begun), let alone editing. Many scenes and shots used in the ads get cut from the movie. And I know of one incident with a TV series some years back where the promotions department forced the show to add a scene with the female lead in a bikini in a hot tub simply so they could use it in promos. No story or script reason for it, made absolutely no sense in the episode, had nothing to do with what was going on in the show, but had to be added for the promos. I'm not aware of any specific examples of that from a movie production but I would not be surprised if it has happened more than once. We now return to our regularly scheduled arguments over computer games. :) -- Running the rec.arts.TV Channels Watched Survey. Fall 2016 survey began Sep 01 and will end Nov 30
