Previews of coming attractions

If you’ve got plenty to time to play around on the Internet today (and you’re tired of reading about Michael Jackson), here’s a link that will kill several hours: IFC.com has compiled its list of the 50 greatest movie trailers of all time, and thanks to the miracle of You Tube, you can both read about them and watch them.

Thing is, it’s one of those list where every trailer has its own page, so it takes a while just to click through them, even if you don’t watch every one. Here, to whet your appetite, is one of my personal favorites, which earned the No. 25 spot: Albert Brooks’ REAL LIFE. I especially like it when champion paddle ball player Randy Brown makes a guest appearance for no reason except the most obvious, shameless one imaginable.

The real joke, see, is the movie is not in 3-D.
