6	From the Website/YouTube channel ''WebVideo/ScreenJunkies'', [[SelfDeprecation who struggle hard to make their]] [[ToughActToFollow other videos as popular as these,]] comes a series that imagines what movie trailers would say if they were truthful, [[MundaneMadeAwesome yet still narrated with an epic]] Creator/DonLaFontaine-esque voice.

10	They describe movies with such BrutalHonesty that you wouldn't even want to watch it if you saw this trailer in theaters. Key targets will be excessive {{Plot Hole}}s, strange characterization, obvious ProductPlacement, ''more'' plot holes, SpecialEffectsFailure, [[RuleOfThree even more plot holes,]] '''''bewbs''''' and [[DullSurprise the actors' stupid faces]]. Ah, but who are they kidding, [[AffectionateParody often times they still love these movies.]]

It was available on Screen Junkies ''Plus'', but went away when that service was cancelled, and the episodes are now hard to come by.
