William ,'Conversations with Dead People'
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.
I was JUST talking about that movie (and the marketing thereof) at sushi with ND on Monday.
Ah, synchronicity.
Or they've turned HHGttG into an action movie which would be worse.
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.
Time for a rewatch
We can watch it on Saturday, if you wanna.
I'll watch the HHTTG trailer when I get home, because I don't have any speakers hooked up to the work computer.
We can watch it on Saturday, if you wanna.
Ooo, good plan!
The Pacifier trailer
I can't stop laughing at that trailer, all because of the "We're going to be late!" "Not on MY watch!" scene, when the minivan screeches into a parallel-parking spot, the door flings open, and the little girl hurls herself out, yelling "LAND!!!"
God, I'm laughing just reading the description. I think The Pacifier has every reason to suck, but damn if it didn't crack me up. If Vin works the same sort of self-deprecating humour with a good script, it might be fun.
Okay, and it's also really funny seeing a duck attacking Vin Diesel, too.
