Trailers are brilliant, still the best way of deciding whether a
forthcoming film is worth seeing.
Interestingly, when I was in San Francisco recently I went to see
Enemy at the Gates (it's shite). One of the trailers before it was
for this brilliant looking hard-hitting courtroom drama with James
Woods in it - and then it turned out to be an anti-smoking advert. So
not all cinema ads are rubbish.
Books do carry ads - they often carry lists of other books you might
want to read in them.
