Wow.

I never realized that Van Helsing was quite that pimp...

Go watch the trailer. It rules.

I can't here at work (no QT), and I haven't seen anyone post a link to a non-QT trailer.

I posted a non-QT link last week. There are two of them on in my post and one in the comments, I believe.

I'll have to go back and look...

That one might work. If it doesn't, I'll go track another one down.

No non-qt love.

Huh. Well, I'll keep looking. It seems that Universal has taken down all of the non-Quicktime ones.

[fireballof3.livejournal.com]

It seems that EVERYWHERE has taken down non-QT versions.

Fuckers.

Well, most of them were linking to the Universal download.

It's all part of Apple's plan to protect it's market-share and product space. See, if they offer an exclusive quicktime trailer, and people port it to other formats, then they won't have to download and install quicktime. Which means they'd actually be able to download and save movies to their harddrive. And noone wants that. Furthermore, when they view a movie, they won't get the annoying little banner telling them why they should upgrade to quicktime pro, which means people won't click on the "go away" button every single time, day after day, year after year, until you just buy a fucking license to make the damn thing go away so you can watch your trailers in peace, and then Apple will lose money.

See. It's a sound market strategy.

Ah I see!!!

It's the "pester them until they cave" marketting strategy!

Fuckers.
