redband trailers and unrated versions

Both are created for the sole purpose of getting people talking, and the strategy works in both cases.
Do people talk when they're aroused, cause I'm pretty sure that's an alternate purpose for 13 year olds.

I just had a conversation with a friend on Facebook about this last week.  We agreed that it's silly but we still perk up when we see redbands at the beginning of trailers, like, oooh, we are going to see something naughty!

I pay an extra level of attention if only to notice what in particular made this a redband trailer.

If one has trouble speaking while aroused, I would suggest a beta blocker or blood thinner for that person.

If one chooses not to speak while aroused, in my opinion, that person is missing out. There's something delightful about a chatty arousal.

Some thoughts indeed I need to comtemplate for the "what I learned today thread".

When the boards eat one of your posts you've been writing, because you acidently press back or forward or refresh or some such thing.

That happened to me yesterday, except it was facebook, I accidentally pressed an ad, and it was an insanely long post.
I actually consider a lot of movies to be life-changing! I take them to my heart and they melt into my personality.

If I know it's going to be a long complicated post I usually do it up in google docs first (which has autosave), but I get lazy sometimes and pay for it.

The Zombieland regular trailer surprised me at how gory it was. I don't know what they would put in the redband to make it worse.
