The new sound system recently installed at work was being tested today, so we went in to listen as they ran some recent trailers in order to test the Dolby Digital part of the equipment that doesn’t get utilized when you’re playing 40 year-old movies. There was nothing spectacular about the selection: For [the] Love of the Game followed by Anna and the King, two clunkers from the class of ’99. But despite the fact that I knew first-hand how bad one of the movies was, and could imagine the other, these trailers made the hairs on the back of my neck stand up. Watching them made me realize I’m in the right line of work – the one where I get to watch bright things on a big screen with loud music and sound effects – and that a good trailer for a bad movie can still give me a thrill.
