That is a pretty pretty cast, ita.
So, has no one else seen "In Good Company" yet? So I can chat about it?
Dawn: Any luck? Willow: If you define luck as the absence of success--plenty.

GS: If you had to choose between kicking evil in the head or the behind, which would you choose, and why?
Minsc: I'm not sure I understand the question. I have two feet, do I not? You do not take a small plate when the feast of evil welcomes seconds.
Plus, when the HHGTTG promo came on and the words Don't Panic! popped up in large and friendly letters, Hec and I were the only people in the entire (nearly packed) theater who made happy noises.
That's better than my experience. My friends and I were excited, but from the rest of the audience there were some grumblings and someone said "That was really stupid!" loudly.
My favorite preview experience was when the Escape from L.A. trailer first showed Kurt Russel's face and my friend shouted "SNAKE PLISKEN! I THOUGHT YOU WERE DEAD!!!"
BWAH!
My most memorable preview experience was going to the midnight showing of Episode I. The most ridiculous amount of energy I've seen in a movie theatre (sad the movie didn't live up to it.) The preview of "The Beach" plays. Suddenly hundreds of geeks are booing Leonardo DiCaprio in unison and then his female costar appears on the screen in a bikini and the booing is immediately replaced by a Keaunu-esque "Woah."

All this time, I thought Hunter was a bitch. Turns out she was just hungry.

That, I would almost have paid to have witnessed.
I did attend a preview of the then highly anticipated Final Fantasy. The audience mood change from before to after the film--from eager to "That was three hours I'll never get back"--would only have amazed you if you hadn't seen FF yourself.

I would still have been amazed. I really liked Final Fantasy.

Hey. New board.
I stand with Sean on Final Fantasy. Not one of the best movies ever or anything, but I've played so many of the games I was hardly expecting a storytelling masterpiece. And it was simply lovely. I came out of it fully satisfied, and have watched it at least once since.
Though FFX was actually a better movie... heh.

my friend shouted "SNAKE PLISKEN! I THOUGHT YOU WERE DEAD!!!"
I hope someone then said, "I'll kill the next man who says that."

"I remember when they eventually introduced that drug kingpin who murdered people and smuggled drugs inside snakes and I was like 'Finally. A normal person.'” —RahvinDragand
Not that I recall, but there were lots of titters from people who liked the original.
Another great preview experience was seeing what we thought was a Jurassic Park sequel trailer set in the New York Museum of Natural History, with the close-up on rippling coffee cups and such, and then seeing Godzilla's foot crash through the roof to trample a T Rex skeleton (accompanied by the oh-so-recognizeable roar). The crowd went wild.
Would that the actual movie had been as entertaining as the preview...

Hey, the Godzilla remake had cool French commandos in it.

If I only had a brain...
I saw The Phantom of The Opera.
It's a pity they didn't cast singers. Otherwise, I couldn't be happier. It was loud. It was bombastic. Chandeliers fell. Organs crashed. The same. three. phrases. were played over and over. There was a duel by night in a snow-covered cemetery. There was an underground horse and an underground gondola.
You want to see this movie with a friend who will help you mock the mockable bits and enjoy the enjoyable bits, of which there are many.

I just saw the trailer for Mr. And Mrs. Smith, and I have to say, it looked pretty freakin' good.
