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.
Wait. People? She eats people? 'To Serve Man.' It's 'To Serve Man' all over again.

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.

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*

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?"

I'm objecting to Madagascar on the grounds that penguins (and most of the other animals pictured in the ads) are not native to Madagascar. The island is sometimes referred to as the 8th continent because, despite its proximity to the African coast, it has not had a land connection in a real real long time. So aside from flying things, it has two large animals in common with Africa: big crocodiles and pygmy hippos.
Le sigh. I had this trouble with a singing deaf-mute, too.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
But that's the point of the movie -- they are zoo animals who end up in Madagascar as a result of wacky hijinks.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
Also, the penguins are psychotic.
