I tried to watch the Narnia trailer on moviefone.com (AOL movies) today, and when I clicked on the "Watch Trailer" icon, I got this message:


We're sorry!

As you can see at the left, my system meets all of these requirements with ease! (including Safari 2.0.2) So, what gives?

Mostly Because AOL = SUCKS

Agreed. Now that even moviefone isn't really moviefone anymore, I think I'll go elsewhere for my movie info.
