Star Wars Episode III Teaser Trailer Today
gotroot801 writes "TheForce.net reports that the Episode III teaser trailer will be available today for viewing on several TV shows in the US (MTV's TRL, Access Hollywood) and Australia (Today Show). In addition, starwars.com Hyperspace members and AOL customers will be able to download the trailer today."
Have you ever tried to cancel your free trial? It is nearly impossible. They tell you all the things you'll miss out on, tell you to enjoy your experience more, tell you that you don't have to cancel yet because you still have 3 weeks left in your free trial, and thats it. No cancellation. I had to call back a second time and deal with the same thing. You have to get pretty mean for them to cancel it. They must get paid a commission for every person who want to cancel that they keep signed up.
Go go go!

"TK-421, why aren't you at your post?"
The first 45 seconds are from the previous movies (Episode 1, 2, and 4), but the rest looks really cool. Looks like Yoda gets to fight some more, and apparently Darth Sideous has a lightsaber, too. Obi Wan looks like he gets his ass handed to him by Anakin.
I hope the entire movie won't have that yellow "H" in the bottom right hand corner, though. Kinda distracting.
Insert simplistic political, ideological, or personal proselytization here.
Oddly enough, it really would stick it to those execs.
:-)
I believe that the deal that movie theatres get goes something like this:
The studio gets almost all the revenue for the first week of release. After that it tails off, and theatres start to get more of the revenue.
So - support your local flea pit and watch movies late
one line will do it "If you do not cancel my subscription i will issue a chargeback and report you as committing credit card fraud"

Yes! Giving them the same amount of money a week later would REALLY prove a point. You stick it to those execs!
Surprisingly enough it probably would have at least some effect. Tese days the Hollywood blockbuster films rely on huge opening weekends and huge first weeks to create buzz, attention and momentum for a film. Just consider how much time the media spends discussing which film opened bigger this weekend. If such a boycott actually took place on a large scale it could conceivably suck a lot of the thunder out of Episode 3s opening week and probably create significant negative buzz about the film "not living up to hype" with regard to its failure to open as big as expected. Sure the geeks will go later, but the people that don't care as much will come away with a negative view of the film.
Of course all of this presupposes that the proposed boycott actualy occurs on a mass scale. Which it simply won't. This guy and his friends giving Lucasa the money a week late is, as you say, going to make no difference at all.
I, myself, am simply planning on not seeing the film at all. Perhaps if it's on TV, or a second hand DVD selling for $1 I'll consider it. It doesn't take a huge act of will power - the first two sucked. Badly. Why on earth would I care about this one, which sounds like it has the potential to be even worse?

Just saw it. Anakin gets red-rimmed yellow contacts to show he's evil. The wookies are taking over where the ewoks left off. Alec Guinness does the narration/explanation for most of the trailer... Thank goodness there was some decent monologues in Star Wars.
Of course, AOL folks get the "The making of" mini documentaries, where we all get to rage at the loving detail of George Lucas retrofitting explanations to his choices. It's fun! Could almost make a drinking game out of them.
