I saw the trailer for Mga Pusang Gala today. And my oh my! It was such a disappointment! It was dark and the parts weren't put together well. The background music have overpowered the dialogues in the movie which were the selling point of the film. It did not do justice to the film. As a long time moviegoer, I could easily detect good films from its trailer. Usually, I'm right. But with this one, I would hate for people to think that it is bad (and not see it at all) just because of the poorly done trailer.I immediately sent Direk Ellen an SMS and told her about my reactions re the trailer. Apparently, she was very disappointed herself when she first saw it. She couldn't do anything about it anymore because LVN Studios, which has been doing good trailers, has been closed ever since it went bankrupt. If she would wait for its opening, it might be too late for its opening on August 17.
She asked me if it's better to pull the trailer out and just rely on the great reviews it has been receiving. "Sayang naman," I said. "Pinagkagastusan na 'yun, e." Imagine, 100k for it?!
Anyway, the best thing we could do to help is spread the good word. Aside from that, tell people to not judge the movie by its trailer. Yes, it was crap and we can't do anything about it. Good thing that the movie isn't!

I hate when that happens, i.e. wasting ten bucks & 2hrs. of my time to see a movie that turns out to be crap. I'm a movie buff too, and the best movie I saw recently was War of the Worlds!
Well, the trailer may suck but I promise you, the movie won't!
Ei, thanks for dropping by my blog! ;-)
