How I didn't change the Twilight trailer

A while back I went to see Contagion in the theater. My friend and I got to the theater super early, so were just sort of hanging around. We got pulled over by Nielsen to provide input on a trailer. Because I am a total dork, this made me incredibly happy. Yay! I want to affect others' entertainment lives!

On the negative side, the trailer was for the new Twilight movie. I'm now seeing the commercials on tv. I don't think I had much of an effect, in the end. It's probable that I wouldn't have, seeing how I kept answering that I wouldn't go see the movie, no matter what. And that my suggestion for improvement was to have more Michael Sheen in it, because I was pretty sure he was in the movie.

On the positive side, the guy interviewing me said that I had given the best summary of the movie he had heard all day. I'm going to go ahead and take that as a compliment.
