this is to stupid to form a valid thought over

Also from Michigan, and I'm embarrassed to live in the same state as her. She could at least be from the remote parts of the UP, so we could go "They're crazy above the bridge. Don't listen to them."Lionsfan said:
I don't think this will really go anywhere. It's a frivolous lawsuit that won't hold up in court.
Can I sue her for breathing the same air as me? I find it highly offensive that I should be expected to share the same life giving gases with someone too stupid to deserve them.
On the one hand, utterly pointless lawsuit.
On the other... it /is/ time to end entertainment companies thinking they can advertise their products in a misleading manner. Almost any other product, we do not allow it.. why should entertainment be any different. Just look at that trailer they did for Dead Island that made it seem far deeper and more engaging than it turned out to be.

What ship is that? It looks like someone combined all the best parts of the Constitution class, the Excelsior class, the Galaxy class, the Sovereign class, the TNG-era shuttle pods, and the NX class. Which is awesome, but not something I recognize.captaincabbage said:Hop abroard, champ. I'm taking all the sane folk off of this rock.dancinginfernal said:
Having read the book prior to the movie having been announced, I saw the trailer and immediately thought that they had taken a very down to earth and intensely sad story and turned it into a knockoff of The Chronicles of Narnia, so, you know, it was an odd choice no matter how you look at it.Crenelate said:
You know what somebody should do... start televising ridiculous lawsuits like this.
Seriously, turn it into the next big reality TV show. I would actually pay money to watch these people hilariously make their case, followed by the resulting court smackdown (hopefully).

The trailer isn't misleading at all. It raises no allusions to Street Racing, Car modifications, grand theft, or steroid abuse.
Case closed.
Reminds me of when I went to see The American, the trailers made me think it was a pulse pounding thriller, a spy chase filled with fights and conspiracy like the Bourne movies. Complete misrepresentation.
The actual movie was so much better than that, so it was a case of me not really minding being tricked into seeing a good movie.
That said, misleading trailers have been around almost as long as movies themselves. I think she might have had a case twenty years ago when the only way to look up what a movie was about was to read about it in the newspaper. Nowadays its easy to just google that shit and see what it's really about.

I knew it. The end times are almost here. Look, it says it in Revelations.
"And lo, idiots shall descend on high, and the human race will devolve into madness. The intelligent, the artists, and the philosophers will look down and place their palms firmly upon their faces, as there is no other action available to express how their deep anguish extends. And they will weep, for themselves and the rest of their race, as they realize they are utterly and incontrovertibly fucked."

Lolwut?! theres been far far worse than 'this advert had a car in it so its a racing movie'
remember kangaroo jack? was advertised and even the poster had an animated talking kangaroo and it made me and my friends (we were like 8 at the time) want to go see it, and then turns out in this one small scene this guy has a weird dream about a kangaroo, and other than that, i dont actually remember what the movie was about
