How much of the film is already done? I mean, it's not coming out until the summer of 2006.
"The move from November 2005 to June 2006 makes perfect sense. Cars is the quintessential summer film for audiences of all ages. It has a fantastic story full of action, adventure, comedy, heartfelt emotion with cutting edge animation and incredible voice talent." Cook continued, "In the vein of Finding Nemo, we feel the movie will have legs throughout summer and beyond."
Further reading says it's still scheduled to be finished in time for the previous release date. Still -- they may have quickly animated scenes that have nothing to do with the finished product.
What's the digital equivalent of a cutting room floor? Recycle bin? /dev/null?
Anyway, I feel they're trading on their name. Which works for the Pixarians. I'm just not one.
They don't need to give away surprises or gags. Just reasons to see the movie.
I just saw the trailer for Mr. and Mrs. Smith. I hope the movie is as amusing -- I might get over the hate-on I have for Ms. Jolie. However, I fear that her gender will give her a leg up on her adversary, just because there's only so much beating a man can give a woman and still remain sympathetic.
We're not even yet.
Saw National Treasure today. Liked it.
That does look fairly amusing, like a True Lies done right.
re the
Cars
trailer. All I can say is it had better show lots of cars going round and round or I'll have one mightily pissed off autistic nephew on my hands.
Ooh. Also, I saw the trailer for HHGttG. It's real!

From a review of
Blade: Trinity
by the New York Daily News [link]
From what we can tell from the "Blade" series, vampires are as easy to kill as ducks and there's no limit on them.
These fragile creatures die at the drop of a silver bullet or the flash of an ultraviolet light, and their deaths are downright festive. They light up like golden x-rays, then explode in a hail of sparks.
Why this movie wasn't given a July 4 opening is both a mystery and a missed opportunity.
Hee.
Has anyone seen Stephen Sonderbergh's
Kafka
? One of the Greek newspapers includes DVDs of movies and TV shows, and I just discovered they play in my computer despite region issues. The only one that looks appealing, sadly, is this one (well, other than
The Mirror Crack'd,
but I've seen that.)

That has Kyle MacLachlin right? I think I saw it when it came out in theatres. I recall thinking it was okay, but not thinking it anything too special. But I don't quite remember any details.
Don't think so. I just checked IMdb and the cast list is Jeremy Irons, Theresa Russell, Joel Grey, Ian Holm and Alec Guinness. There's only one user review that says "Lots of homage and reference to
Nosferatu
and
Dracula.
" but doesn't say much else. Indeed, one of the characters is named Dr. Murnau, but the plot isn't vampirey - it's about an insurance agent and some anarchists.
Hey! New kids' book:
