And call me anal but I consider a trailer a spoiler for certain movies. I
avoided theaters for months before any of the SW movies specifically to
avoid seeing the trailers (and I'm damn glad too because each of them had
scenes that wouldn't have had anywhere near the same impact for me if I'd
seen the trailers.)
So the same comment goes for pre-menu trailers (in addition to the other
valid objections against them.)
