Michigan lady is apparently suing the distributor of the movie Drive. Lady states that the promotions were intentionally misleading. The lawsuit is filed the MI consumer protection act. "Drive bore very little similarity to a chase, or race action film... having very little driving in the motion picture," says the suit. Another issue for Deming? She also claims the movie is anti-Semitic.
She wants her money back and for the movie studios to cease and desist making "misleading" movie trailers. She also wants to turn the lawsuit into a class action.
:facepalm: :facepalm: :facepalm:

LOL, she has a good point though-some trailers really stink.
I try not to watch them anymore, what really ruined it for me was the trailer for "Liar, Liar" the Jim Carrey movie. The trailer showed every funny scene in the movie leaving nothing to be surprised about.
This is my favorite trailer

As an Ohio State alumnus, I feel it's my duty to point out that the lady is from Michigan.

Lady is suing Continental Airlines and 3 other airlines. She states that she received mental trauma from a turbulent flight. The 2009 flight usually was very short, but wound up taking 2 hours and it "encountered extreme turbulence that caused her to fear for her life." She now claims to have PTSD and fears flying, "which had a detrimental impact on her career."

Is false advertising not a crime now?

"This is the greatest case of false advertising I’ve seen since I sued the movie “The Never Ending Story"

She also wants to turn the lawsuit into a class action.
No she don't. Her lawyer does.

There was - a man, in the suit, I mean. At least in some of the scenes. There actually was a practical suit, even if it was made out of plastic and resin instead of iron and he didn't always wear the whole thing and it was CG in some of the scenes.
And even there, the Mark 1 practical suit weighed 90-100lbs, according to Favreau and the stunt guy who wore the thing. That's actual steel there - which is largely iron. There you go, a real iron man. :P Find a new target, there're plenty out there.

No....it was Robert Downey Jr.......I rest my case....
