A v. P’ed- this is when a “trailer rape” (I should own that too but I doubt it) occurs, that is to say we as an audience are given shots in the trailer that misrepresent the content of a film. A classic example of this might be the tire flying at the screen that appeared in the trailer for Twister and was never even in the movie. Now I call it A v. P’ed primarily because it rolls off the tounge but also because it is extremly apt. I can remember seeing the trailer for this long anticipated festival of ultra violence and what I saw was a bunch of Aliens and a bunch of Predators fighting it out I thought great this is what the audience for this movie wants to see. Anywho in the actual movie, in all it’s PG-13 greatness, that scene is just a quick flashback cut into the film. The true story of the film is a much lamer and more toned down narrative where there are only a few Predators and only a few Aliens. There are many other examples of this false advertising in a variety of genres and styles such as films that portray themselves as comedies but turn out to be poorly realized, trite meandering dramas. I realize that selling bullshit is a big part of the biz, but don’t cut my bullshit with sugar (this is another term I claim ownership for in all it’s vulgar glory). Sometimes I want sweetness, sometimes I want sourness, or even bitterness I just like to know what t oexpect from the crap I’m going to see so I can mentally prepare my eyes.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
