  • "If you've seen the trailer, why bother to see the movie? (previews that give away the film's entire plot)"
  • "30 minutes of story – conveyed in less than three hours (l-o-n-g-e-r movies... shorter plots)"
  • "THX: The audio is deafening. (movie sound so loud it constitutes assault with a deafening weapon)"
