NBC is having a multi-channel broadcast of the King Kong teaser trailer.
[O]n Monday, June 27, from 8:59:30-9:02 PM ET...As part of the ambitious, multi-pronged effort, the two-minute, 30-second teaser trailer will be broadcast at the same time on NBC, SCI FI, USA Network, Bravo, MSNBC, CNBC, Telemundo, Mun2 and Universal HD. The trailer will be offered in high-definition on NBC and Universal HD. The estimated potential audience of the combined networks would exceed 109 million viewers, surpassing the total distribution of any previous promotional broadcast.
I need to get those Newsradio discs.
And see Batman.
I went to see
Batman Begins
this afternoon. The first showing at 1 pm. The theatre was by no means sold out. In fact, it was fairly empty.
And the movie totally rocked. I loved it! Want more now! I didn't even mind Katie Holmes. Gary Oldman was excellent as Jim Gordon, I loved Michael Caine as Alfred. Liam Neeson should always have a sword in his hand and I cried when Tom and Martha Wayner were killed.
When I got to the theatre it was empty except for one woman who I sat about two rows ahead of and a couple seats over. I'm sure this was at least her second time at the movie because she kept laughing at the funny bits ahead of everyone. Or else she has pre-cognition.
Also excellent trailers including
Serenity!!!!
And a trailer for
The New World
with Colin Farrell as Capt. John Smith and Christian Bale as John Randolph and David Thewlis as somebody. It looked good.
We also got a teaser for WotW that was more intriguing than the full trailer . . . and has no Tom Cruise in it. Interesting. (Because last week at
Mr. and Mrs. Smith
we got the full WotW trailer.) And a trailer for
The Island
and the one for
Dukes of Hazzard.
Anyway, everyone has said just about everything. I really enjoyed it and can't wait to see it again.
The only sad thing is that for some reason
Howl's Moving Castle
is NOT playing in my town. Therefore, the all Bale movie weekend I was hoping for is not going to pan out.
I've got a choice of matinees tomorrow. Batman Begins or Howl's Moving Castle.
Definitely Batman. I saw Howl's Moving Castle this afternoon, and it was disappointing. Not bad, just...not Miyazaki's best work. There's just a lot in it that doesn't make sense.
That's the top runner, Steph. I need to dig up a geek who'll want to see it with me.
