			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Do all criminals have an unfinished basement on their houses? Do all interrogations take place in a military bunker filled with all of the tricks of the torture trade?</p>
<p>Scene opens: In the empty dining room of a McDonald&#8217;s fast food restaurant.  The restaurant has been cleared out of customers. Unfinished food still sits on trays across the room. Camera pulls back to find itself over the back/shoulder of someone who&#8217;s hands are tied behind his back, sitting in one of those swiveling plastic chairs.  In the distance, in front of him are a handful of thuggish men who are obviously not happy and they are all focused on the tied-up man.  In the further distance, over the shoulder of one of the thugs is a cardboard cutout of Ronald McDonald who happens to just be staring into the scene with a more menancing look than one would expect.</p>
<p>And it goes on from there.</p>
<p>I expect to see it in a theater near me sometime soon.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Why are there never any trailers in movie trailers?</p>
<p>Scene opens, posters plastered against a metal wall&#8230; for a movie, perhaps.  Some metal noises, maybe creaking brakes.  Then some dust, then a little more.</p>
<p>Without pulling back, the camera starts sliding horizontally and more posters.. seemingly all about same movie.</p>
<p>Eventually, the camera slides off the back of the truck and you realized you just saw your first &#8220;movie trailer.&#8221; Scene closes.</p>
<p>Or how about a trailer broken down on a side street. Names are grafittied all over it and in the small window, there&#8217;s a television playing a clip from the movie.</p>
