The people at Apple aren't "f&cking clowns". The majority of people who use the internet and would be viewing trailers at their site are the clowns. I seriously doubt that Apple really cares if you view the trailer at full size. The Quicktime Pro b.s. is there for those who don't have the intelligence to view the sourcefile in the player. I would imagine that even with your little bit of Slashdot rebelliousness, they'll still sell quite a few licenses to Quicktime Pro with this little ploy. So just calm down. Sheesh, you'll wake the neighbors.
Does anyone really think any differently of the 007 series because Mike Meyers makes fun of it? The last three bond movies have sucked... come to think of it, none of the Bond movies were very remarkable. The Austin Powers franchise may be kitschy and not all that inspired, but at least the studio doesn't take itself too seriously. ("If you see one movie this summer, see Star Wars. If you see two....")
I wonder if Albert Broccoli and Ian Fleming would care about the name of the AP movie.
