Previews, what does Jim think?

I find myself going to the movies less often because the previews of the movies ruins the best part. I wonder what Jim's views on this subject are.

Personally I think with Jim's star power I would think his movie previews should just give the idea of the plot and nothing more. Personally I want to know what the movie is about, but at the same time I want to be surprised when I see the movie. For example I did not see any previews to Eternal Sunshine and I can honestly say that I was very happy learn stuff as the movie went along. I personally enjoy not knowing what to expect when I go see a movie. I hate it when all the best jokes have already been out in previews which makes the movie not as enjoyable.

Interesting question :)

Sometimes I think they do give most of the good parts away, but that didn't happen with Bruce Almighty. Least I don't think it did. For other movies, I really do think they give the funny parts away, but Jim movies, I think are fine the way they are. I really liked the preview of Lemony Snicket ;)

for Eternal Sunshine of The Spotless Mind, I think I really needed the preview, because I would have got seriously lost without knowing anything about it. :D I really love this movie :o
