Movie Trailers Poll

The Alliance of Women Film Journalists conducted a poll about movie trailers. Here's a sampling:


QUESTION: Do you enjoy trailers, think they’re an important part of the movie theater experience and would you miss them if they were gone?

The majority of AWFJ members ‘love’ trailers (and love is the term they use to describe their feelings) and think they‘re integral to the movie theater experience.
Susan Wloszczyna puts it this way: “Anyone who claims to love films must possess some interest in movie trailers–when done well and honestly, they’re like great foreplay, an irresistible tease to what hopefully will be an affair to remember.”
Sara Voorhees notes, “Just as appetizers are necessary before a meal, trailers prime the pump, letting body and soul know a new experience is coming, so you’re ready and alert, emotionally prepared for it.“
