Bad Trailers.

Is it just me or are movie Trailers getting worse? I've seen so many of them that more or less give away the entire film. I can't remember the name but there was one a while ago I literally didn't bother to see becuase the trailer had given it all away.
Like many things style of trailers changes with time so there may be hope. I used to have a trailer for Bladerunner and I've seen other trailers from about the early 80's. They were usually very long and not well done. I think the Bladerunner trailers was about 4 minutes long, most trailers now are about 2 minutes.
Universal did a spectacular job with the trailer for Inside Man. It's one of the best trailers I've seen in ages. Gives you a good idea what's going on without revealing too much. Just what a good trailer should do.
Still, I like to watch the trailers before a movie. I feel like the experience is not complete if I miss the trailers. I usually don't mind missing the commericals though, I tend to see them about 20 times each because I go to so many movies.
