		<description>Hi Julie,

You may also have noticed that I acknowledge there could be great jokes tucked in the film. It&#039;s possible this movie is fantastic, and that even a liberal like me will find things to admire in it.

But the point of Trailer Scaler is to analyze previews, not films. A trailer is explicitly asking viewers to make a judgment on the film being advertised, and that&#039;s what I&#039;m using this feature to do.

Instead of slamming me personally, can I invite you to respond to the trailer itself? Are there things in it that appeal to you? If so, what are they? Are there things you don&#039;t like? What are they?

If you and I can discuss this trailer together, without calling each other names, then we may be able to learn things about how the other thinks. That&#039;s the point of this site.

Right now, you&#039;re only telling me that I&#039;m stupid and humorless, which doesn&#039;t encourage me to listen. 

I&#039;m sure you have ideas about this film and what it represents, and I&#039;d imagine there are parts of my analysis that you disagree with. If you want to tell me what those things are, I&#039;d love to discuss them with you.

		<description>I&#039;m absolutely amazed that you can rate this movie without, as you mentioned in the 5th paragraph, actually seeing it.  

You say it &quot;seems&quot; utterly devoid of intelligent humor - ?  Why on earth should I listen to you if you haven&#039;t freakin&#039; seen the movie?  

I&#039;m sure you&#039;re liberalism got in the way, since liberals in general have no sense of humor.  

Michael Moore is a freak and it&#039;s about time someone made some jabs at his sanity!</description>
