Movie Previews

Is it just me or are movie previews getting worse? Last night, three stood out. The Madonna-directed movie about the British Prince who gave up the throne. A boring idea to begin with, but the real senselessness is the modern day parallel story line with Abby Cornish. It makes no sense. Maybe I need to see the movie to figure it out. Number 2 - Extremely Loud and Incredibly Close. I don't understand the story. A kid's father dies in 9/11 and then he finds a key and starts visiting diverse people around NYC to figure out what it unlocks? Kid - it is probably just your dad's porn collection in his desk.
