Mobile Homes

Somebody really dropped the ball with the previews shown on the recently released Wedding Crashers DVD (awesome movie, by the way). Let's recap the two most glaring trailer problems, shall we?
  • The New World - The end of this trailer speaks of it opening in 2005. Wedding Crashers was released on DVD in the beginning of 2006. Looks like somebody's a little late, huh? In fact, The New World had a limited theatrical release a full eight days before the Wedding Crashers DVD was released.
  • Kitchen Confidential - This critically acclaimed FOX television show was cancelled a month before Wedding Crashers debuted on DVD. The website that the trailer promotes (fox.com/kitchen) does not even exist anymore.
Well played, New Line promotion people. The next time they produce a DVD, maybe they should keep in the mind the immortal words of Chazz Reingold: "Grief is nature's most powerful aphrodisiac."
