I agree very strongly. Trailers shouldn’t be a highlight reel, but rather a glimpse into the movie’s story that should intrigue the viewer into going to see that movie (as said in the article).
Though it might be obvious/redundant to say, “Make us (the viewers) interested enough to see the story without giving away any surprises or major plot points.”
I’m not going to waste my time and/or money to watch a movie and fill in the story’s tidbits along with the main parts (already shown to me).
“Make me pay to see what I have not seen.”

I agree completely that the use of music in film is of great importance. From a minor touch that enhances a scene, to a film that revolves around the music itself, music-use in films (as well as video games and other media) is a great force that (I think) a great number of people take for granted too easily.

I recall watching “Carrie” for the first time (it was the 1976 version). Upon first impressions, I saw it more as “cool” rather than “scary,” probably due to a certain “car scene.” However, after refreshing myself, the story is much more thoughtful than I had previously viewed it as.
In my opinion, the main idea one can take from “Carrie” is that it shows that “the mind” is a powerful weapon that can give and take great force (whether it be thoughtful intentions of abusing an individual, the weight of undertaking such abuse, or potential psychic ability).
