&lt;P&gt;When I lived in Britain, we called such a preview &lt;FONT color=#0000ff&gt;'a trailer'&lt;/FONT&gt;. I often liked the trailers better than the movie I had come to see, because in the trailer they only showed you the good bits, so every movie looked great.&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;Best wishes, Clive&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;div style="clear:both;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description></item><item><title>Re: previews of coming attractions</title><link>http://www.englishforums.com/English/PreviewsComingAttractions/dvcml/post.htm#271008</link><pubDate>Fri, 22 Sep 2006 19:28:05 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">946f00bb-57d3-4b7b-a9a2-059b5341af52:271008</guid><dc:creator>LearningNerd</dc:creator><slash:comments>1</slash:comments><comments>http://www.englishforums.com/English/PreviewsComingAttractions/dvcml/post.htm#271008</comments><wfw:commentRss>http://www.englishforums.com/English/comments12-271008.xml</wfw:commentRss><description>That's referring to the previews you see before the feature film -- the advertisements for other movies. But I think "previews of coming attractions" is redundant. We usually refer to them as either "previews" or "coming attractions", not both.&lt;div style="clear:both;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description></item><item><title>previews of coming attractions</title><link>http://www.englishforums.com/English/PreviewsComingAttractions/dvcmj/post.htm</link><pubDate>Fri, 22 Sep 2006 19:00:31 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">946f00bb-57d3-4b7b-a9a2-059b5341af52:271006</guid><dc:creator>Teo</dc:creator><slash:comments>2</slash:comments><comments>http://www.englishforums.com/English/PreviewsComingAttractions/dvcmj/post.htm</comments><wfw:commentRss>http://www.englishforums.com/English/comments12-271006.xml</wfw:commentRss><description>&lt;P&gt;&lt;EM&gt;"See a movie" is more common when you are talking about going to a theater - "Do you want to see a movie?" has come to refer to the whole event -- popcorn,&lt;FONT color=#ff0000&gt; previews of coming attractions&lt;/FONT&gt;, etc. "Watch a movie" is more likely if it is on TV, DVD, etc. &lt;/EM&gt;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;What does the phrase &lt;FONT color=#ff0000&gt;&lt;EM&gt;previews of coming attractions&lt;/EM&gt; &lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;FONT color=#000000&gt;mean?&lt;BR&gt;&lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;div style="clear:both;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description></item></channel></rss>
