NATO demands some changes.
I agree.
Make me want to see the movie, but don't show me the entire story, especially the ending.

There is so much wrong with the movie industry - especially the marketing - that this move is almost pathetically useless.

You're right on the marketing.
They spend soooooo much money on marketing, and not good marketing, but bad marketing.

Odd. Last flick I went to, I got the pre-trailer commercials, then the trailers, then some fucking cell phone PSAs, then the pre-movie commercials, then the fucking movie. End result? You can show up 20 minutes after the "start time" and not miss the start.

They aren't thinking about the content of the previews, just the length. I see no regulations that address alleged spoilers.
