It's a TRAILER not a TEASER #trailer #teaser #randomthoughts

When one thinks of a "teaser" for a movie, you think of something that is short...makes you crave more...and doesn't last very long.

So here's the Thor: Ragnarok Teaser Trailer...at almost 2 minutes long.





Now here's the Star Wars: The Last Jedi Teaser Trailer....just over 2 minutes long.





So Tuesday evening I went to see the latest Transformer movie (in 3D Imax) and during the usual trailers, there was a series of 3 ACTUAL TEASERS for the movie Dunkirk.  Below is an example of just what we saw in the theater:


 

Short, right?

A teaser, right?

Anything that is longer than a minute should NOT ever be called a "Teaser" - because it's not.  It is a TRAILER.

A teaser is short, to the point, and makes you crave more information that you look it up.

Stop calling a trailer a "teaser" - otherwise everything should just be considered a teaser and there is no such thing as a trailer.
