I love the baby penguin wobbling along beside its daddy or mommy.
We're not gonna die. We can't die, Bendis. You know why? Because we are so very pretty. We are just too pretty for God to let us die.

I'm getting the pig!
So fricken cute.
I should probably just stick to the trailer though. One box of tissues probably wouldn't get me through the entire movie.
Oh. And also - Awwwwwww!!

A dress should be tight enough to show you're a woman but loose enough to flee from zombies. — Ginger
I'm so not a cutesy person, but o god, that was fucking adorable.
And narrated by Morgan Freeman! I never knew there was so much angst to the Penguin Love.

There's an article in the latest EW about the penguin movie and a few other docs coming out this summer. The original French version has dialogue for the penguins read by actors, but the American distributor went with third-person narration by Freeman instead.

The generation that could change the world is still looking for its car keys.
Ford, you're turning into a penguin. Stop it.

From IMDb:
The final Star Wars movie Episode III - Revenge Of The Sith has been slated by outraged fans, because it's riddled with continuity errors. Viewers have inundated website Moviemistakes.Com complaining director George Lucas's blockbuster contains 14 glaring mistakes. One film fan says of the latest film, "When he is telling Anakin how proud he is of him, Obi-wan's eye color shifts from Ewan McGregor's natural blue-green eyes to a dark brown." Another fumes, "When Samuel L. Jackson says, 'I don't think the boy can handle it, I don't trust him,' his lips don't match his dialogue." But the mistakes in the current release are nothing compared to the original 1977 film Episode IV - A New Hope which contained 214 mistakes, and its sequel The Empire Strikes Back, which contained 144 errors.

Re Matt's white font: I say we take off and nuke Yoda from space; it's the only way to be sure.
I probably got that quote totally wrong. *le sigh*

I must obey the inscrutable exhortations of my soul—Calvin and Hobbs
Oh. My. Sweet. God.
March of the Penguins is the most adorable thing I've ever seen. I think I sprained a facial muscle grinning at it. So, not dead of cute, as such. But a little damanged.

move out and draw fire
Here's a young friend's take on summer movie trailers:
I saw Star Wars with Stephie [age 9] on Sunday. Many good previews at this flick; I was quite pleased with that. The last one was for the new Fantastic 4 movie. I was observing Stephie when this one came on, to see what she was making of it. I don't think she's ever seen a Fantaastic 4 comic, so I asked her, "What do you think? Should we see Fantastic 4 in the theater when it comes out?"
She deliberates for a couple seconds, then asks me, "Well, could we rent Fantastic 1 first, to see if I like it?"
