No Dragon Wars trailer for you! First, you must watch this Dragon Wars commercial! or: Preroll ads get truly absurd

So I was looking at IMDb's "opening this week" list to confirm that Across the Universe is opening. I noticed that Dragon Wars is also opening. I had heard about this. It's a Korean movie with American actors, the biggest budget South Korean movie ever, supposedly. So I went searching for a trailer and came upon this IGN page. I decided to stream the trailer.

Before I could watch the trailer, IGN presented me with a 30-second preroll commercial...... of Dragon Wars! It was not skippable, and I had to finish watching it in order to gain the privilege of watching the 90-second Dragon Wars trailer.

W. T. F.

I know I've complained before about having to watch preroll ads in order to watch video game trailers, but this is, well, really there's just not much more I can say about it. :P

P.S.: On the other hand, I suppose this is the ultimate in targeted advertising... :P

BLAST THE PREROLL!!!!

Also, Across the Universe opens this weekend? I can't decide if it'll be awesome or absolute crap that's dressed up to look like it's awesome, but I need to go see it.
