A place to talk about movies--Old and new, good and bad, high art and high cheese. It's the place to place your kittens on the award winners, gossip about upcoming fims and discuss DVD releases and extras. Spoiler policy: White font all plot-related discussion until a movie's been in wide release two weeks, and keep the major HSQ in white font until two weeks after the video/DVD release.

The original teaser for The Incredibles was funny, but not really in any way related to the final movie. I wasn't all that impressed by it. Basically, that teaser said "This movie is about a semi-retired superhero, and it's by Pixar."

Thank you. I really disliked the teaser (look at the fat dude trying to put on his belt!). I'm glad hear that the movie is not that.

We're very stretchy. - Connie Neil

The first couple of trailers I saw for Finding Nemo were unimpressive, to say the least. I seriously considered not even going to see it, but now, it's probably number two on my Pixar list (I still have to see the Incredibles, though, as well as A Bug's Life, so my list isn't as long as others).

Hey. New board.

I'm glad hear that the movie is not that.

Oh, man. It's so not that it's amazing. It's like the exact opposite of that.

Shit's all sorts of different now.

And that scene, isn't even in the movie, GC.

Ok. Now to convince the GF that we need to see it. She's really digging in her heels on this one, for some reason.

I specifically asked Joe, "Knowing GF's comic book tastes as you do, do you think she would enjoy The Incredibles?" He says yes. It is his new favoritest hero movie. It's funny, it's smart. Mr Incredible is truly decent guy trying to make it without showing his true colors which are good colors.

It's just amazing.

Apart from sports, "my secret favorite thing on earth is ketchup. I will put ketchup on anything. But it has to be Heinz." - my husband, Michael Vartan

Also, The Incredibles is filled with pretty hair. So that is fun, too.

It kinda reminded me of the hair on Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

It kinda reminded me of the hair on Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer.

I commented on that to JZ - that they avoided the uncanny valley by going for something towards the lookg of stop motion animation of the Rankin Bass holiday specials.

Yes. But Violet's hair was really shiny, and Mrs. Incredible had awesome highlights. That's what I meant.
