2. Good example of how websites try to take advantage of SEO to build traffic. (Seems like such a miserable, joyless way to make a buck.)

3. The Conan trailer is one of the worst trailers I've seen in recent memory (I hate everything - - the editing, the music, the look of the characters, the behavior of the characters). By comparison, this two-minute scene from Drive is excellent.
