It's no secret that the film business works by dropping multiple teasers, followed by three or four different trailers before a film's release, and this is to generate excitement among funs leading up to launch, but someone who doesn't like this practice is David Lynch. Speaking to Rolling Stone, Lynch had this to say about the practice of trailers:

"These days, movie trailers practically tell the whole story. I think it's really harmful. For me, personally, I don't want to know anything when I go into a theater. I like to discover it, get into that world, try to get as good of picture and sound as possible, no interruptions, so you can have an experience. And anything that putrefies that is not good."

Do you think trailers give too much of the film away?
