Oz ,'First Date'
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.
HHGTTG trailer.
With actual people. So it answers some questions upthread.
DAMMIT!
My speakers have chosen exactly NOW to crap out on me (they were working half an hour ago), so I can't hear it, but I like the look.
I think I'm as excited about this as I was about FotR.

There's very little dialogue, so you're not missing much.
They're trying to sell it as an action film instead of a comedy, though, which I think is a mistake.

They're pulling a Hudson Hawk.
I was JUST talking about that movie (and the marketing thereof) at sushi with ND on Monday.
Or they've turned HHGttG into an action movie which would be worse.

Ah, synchronicity.

Hmm... the visuals seemed to retain the humor (Arthur bumping his head, Zaphod's... additions, that large woman Ford was talking to).
I definitely got comedy from the trailer--not as dry as the comedy in the book, but hard to get that tone into a trailer.
I haven't seen any early reviews express outrage at a genre switch, so I think it's a trailer thing.
There's a Wallace and Gromit movie coming out this fall! Wheee!!!
Woo Hoo!
The Pacifier trailer was funnier than the HHTTG one. That's just not right.
