What Killed The Movie Trailer?

Movie Trailers may have started out as a tool to sell films, but over time they have evolved into their own spectacle. Before a film is released there are a multitude of Theatrical Trailers, TV Spots, Web Shorts, and even Trailers before the Trailer starts. How did Hollywood turn from a simple marketing tool, to a an ever expansive industry of movie trailers that mostly give away the entire plot of the film? How did Hollywood crush the Movie Trailer?

  • Actually my summary is far less acute than the video.

  • This is the best summary of what Jidu Krishnamurti, David Bohm, and others connected to JK are trying to tell the world. In a nutshell, self-centred thought is created by thought itself and is an attitude of thought that creates an illusion of a self. The truth is found in an attitude of wholeness that questions all assumptions of a distinct self, and of any dependable judgement made through thought. This is not to deny the importance of applications of thought, such as in scientific practice, or planning buildings etc. Rather it calls for a similar attitude in which the importance of suspension of judgement in all aspects of life is especially important for self-centred thoughts and feelings which tend to warp individuals attention to reality such that they may even become completely detached from it.

    David Bohm on Krishnamurti and the problem of thought.

    A very well edited summary of Krishnamurti’s and David Bohm’s central argument/philosophy on the problem of thought as it pertains to the sociological and ideological differences that cause the world’s suffering.

  • I agree. I’m no marathon kbin contributor, but I like it here a lot and I would be happier if this thread was about what we can do to support kbin as an instance.
    If mbin where a placeholder for doing this (as in if certain permissions aren’t available yet) then I’d be buoyed up by OP’s thread.
    Anyhoo, viva la kbin, viva la federation!

    Dialogue – a proposal: The full text of the very influential paper by David Bohm, Donald Factor and Peter Garrett

    Dialogue – A proposal

    Dialogue, as we are choosing to use the word, is a way of exploring the roots of the many crises that face humanity today. It enables inquiry into, and understanding of, the sorts of processes that fragment and interfere with real communication between individuals, nations and even different parts of the same organization. In our modern culture men and women are able to interact with one another in many ways: they can sing dance or play together with little difficulty but their ability to talk together about subjects that matter deeply to them seems invariable to lead to dispute, division and often to violence. In our view this condition points to a deep and pervasive defect in the process of human thought.

    In Dialogue, a group of people can explore the individual and collective presuppositions, ideas, beliefs, and feelings that subtly control their interactions. It provides an opportunity to participate in a process that displays communication successes and fai

    Bohm’s the spirit of dialogue

    David Bohm’s (Bohm, D. (1996) On Dialogue. New York: Routledge.) spiritual view, drawn from Eastern sources, emphasizes the fact that in modern culture, people do not seem to be able to talk together about subjects that matter deeply without leading to dispute or conflict. Bohm, Factor and Garrett (Bohm, D., Factor, D. and Garrett, P. (1991) ‘Dialogue – a proposal’, the informal education archives, http://www.infed.org/archives/e-texts/bohmdialogue.htm), in contrast to Gadamer, stipulate that (i) participants must suspend their assumptions; (ii) participants must view each other as colleagues or peers – ‘A Dialogue is essentially a conversation between equals’ (Bohm et al. 1991) and (iii) in the early stages, there needs to be a facilitator who ‘holds the context’ of dialogue. ‘Their role should be to occasionally point out situations that might seem to be presenting sticki

    Beyond Bohm 2023 Talks Series - The Pari Center - August 2023

    David Bohm has been described as one of the most significant and original thinkers of the twentieth century whose interests and influence extend well beyond the field of physics to include philosophy, psychology, language, religion, art, creativity, thought, and education. Underlying his innovative approach to these many different issues was the fundamental idea that beyond the visible, tangible world there lies a deeper, implicate order of undivided wholeness.

    During July and August the Pari Center is offering a unique opportunity to hear and dialogue with those involved in the many aspects of David Bohm’s work and to discuss the implications of his ideas for the future. All sessions include audience participation in the form of Q&A and discussion.
