    I know Simon Mayo took Winterbottom to task on the violence front in an interview recently. Winterbottom defended himself and his decisions pretty well I think.

      “Brooks tells Vulture that he has now conceded that in today’s movie business, “as a general rule, you show your best stuff … It’s interesting, because [audiences] will still laugh at the joke a second time in the theater.”

      A second time yes. Problem is, most of the time I have seen the joke ten times or more. It drives me bonkers when audiences laugh again at a joke I know damn well they’ve seen 100 times. People are stupid. Another reason why I try to avoid watching trailers for movies I already know about and especially if I know I’m going to be seeing anyway.
