GERMANS are using footage of Gordon Brown to create hilarious spoofs of Hitler’s last days in his Berlin bunker, it emerged last night.
I used to do market research surveys for movie trailers back in arround 1994 or so. Basically, the way it would go is we’d show them a few trailers, then ask them about one of them — basically what they remembered, what they liked about it, what they didn’t like, whether it made them want to see the movie, or whatever.
I honestly could have filled out all the surveys myself after doing a few of them: For guys:
I liked: the explosions and boobs.
I didn’t like: the talking
For women:
I wanted to know more of the story.
So if you wanted to know why the trailers always gave away the whole movie and had all explosions and boobs, that was why.
