Honest Trailers

I recently discovered this YouTube channel called "screenjunkies" and I thought that you guys might like and laugh with the videos as much as I do (maybe you have already heard of it or seen it but still).

If you haven't heard of it, here's a piece of the channel's description: "Where guys go to get honest and authoritative advice on what movies and TV shows they should watch an which ones aren't worth the time (...)"

The videos that I'm particularly a fan of are the "Honest Trailers" series, in which they redo trailers of famous movies, making a sort of parody. They try to show you the movie story form a "honest" point of view, presenting them as they really are by sarcastically showing issues with the plot, the direction and a list of other flaws on the screenplay, scripts, casting, etc. 

It's a fun and very interesting thing to watch "Honest Trailers" because sometimes they make you notice some crazy facts that you never really thought about while watching that movie by yourself.

Here are some of the most viewed and some of my favorite Honest Trailers:

The Hunger Games

Avatar

Transformers

The Avengers

The Dark Knight Rises 

Titanic

At the channel you will find many more!!

AND ALSO the videos have the option for you to watch them with English subtitles. Cool, right?!

But before you watch any of these videos I have to warn you that there might be spoilers, so maybe you should just watch the trailers from movies that you have already seen, ok?

I really hope you guys enjoy the videos and be like 

Bye, guys :)

DON'T GENERALIZE

In a school in the States, the teacher had just described Christopher Columbus' discovery of America.
"Just imagine, children, if he had not risked the ocean, you would not be here today. Wasn't he marvellous?"
All the children cheered, except one.
"Aren't you pleased young fellow?"
"No miss."
"Why?"
"I'm an Indian."

"I want to learn to ski on one leg."
"Certainly sir, but why?"
