The worst thing is not being able to skip the trailers with the top menu button.

I love the trailers at theater and at home. In the theater it's to see what's coming up that I might get excited for. At home it's to remind me of movies I might still need to get that I might have forgotten about. I also like to watch really great trailers again and again. If it's something I'm not interested in I have no problems hitting the skip button I'm in no hurry.

On Disney BD its EXACTLY the same as both the prior VHS and DVD, brings back memories with the "Coming Soon to Theatres & Coming Soon to Blu-Ray" screens.

I don't mind seeing the trailers when I see a movie at the theater, but when I put in a movie at home, I don't want them at all. Ever. I just want to watch the movie. I either want the disk to go directly to the menu, or for the movie to start playing. I could also do without all the federal warning crap before the movies too.

I never liked having previews or trailers in a BD or DVD for that matter. What I do think is pretty neat is when either the director, writer or actor has a quick comment about the movie before it starts.

I would personally like to see more Blu-ray's with the movies own ad campaign, trailers, added as a special feature. Too few, if any, do that anymore.

Disney is overboard though... it is like 15 trailers

i love trailers, but would like the option to skip if i want. also it would be nice if they considered it standard to include the theatrical trailers for the film you bought. some do and some dont.

i even have a couple boxes of 35mm trailers back before the film companies wanted them back.

It would be a neat feature to have BD-Live trailers play before the movie. That way the trailers can be the most recent ones, thus making it more exciting. And I wish they would apply the same to their advertisements. I hate sitting there watching an ad for "upcomming releases" at the time when it was released years ago! That's stupid!
I am sure they would do this if the load times were not ridiculously long. can you imagine being forced to wait 20 minutes while a trailer downloads!

Love the trailers at the theater, not so much at home.

No thanks. I like watching them in theatres, but not before a movie I purchased or even rented. Cross-promotion trailers should be kept in extra features or in a Previews section.

Lets work more on getting the trailers for the film you bought actually on the frickin' disc you bought! I hate buying a disc that does not include the trailer for that particular film. For example, Fox's old 2-Disc 5 Star Collection DVD for The French Connection had the trailer for the film on both disc 1 & disc 2. The new 2-Disc BD has no trailer... Boooo!

At the theaters it's one thing and part of the movie going experience. The trailers are for new, recent movies, not old ones.

Watching trailers at home before a movie really gets old. Many of the trailers are for movies that I already have in my collection. It's just gets to be bothersome and a nuisance especially when the BD defeats the option of pressing the main menu or top menu button. In that case, I have to skip through all of the trailers in order to get to the main menu.

For BDs, trailers should be on BD-live. That way, if you really have the hankering to watch trailers, you can download new trailers from the studio on their web site.

what would be a novel idea is to have trailers and promo spots that they played during the theatrical run to emulate a true movie going experience. So with the Dark Knight BD you would get a commercial for Coke and a trailer for Watchmen. Dont forget Fandango and to turn off your cell phone.
