We saw the Serenity trailer not in front of Batman, but in front of Land of the Dead. (Which, for the record, eh. Although Simon Baker was yum.)

because SV has had like fifty thousand storylines where people are either possessed or controlled or seduced or anything at all that allows their actions to be completely without reproach, thereby giving the appearance of character development without actually developing characters.

Mostly, I think it's for the appearance of various actors in revealing outfits. And in the case of MR and TW I'm pretty much ok with it.

So not watching for the plots.

Re: trailers. The second time I saw Batman Begins I got both the Serenity and Willy Wonka trailers. The first time, neither one. Both times I saw BB at the same theater. No idea what's up with that.

Most big chain theatres change their preview reels every month, so if you saw it in June and July, you'd have gotten different previews.

I don't know if studios charge too much for their movies, since I've been assured that movies never make profits.

I don't understand that, though -- the profit must be coming from somewhere, or we'd have much fewer of them.

Ah, three clicks to enlightenment. Thanks, Jessica!

I've never even heard of the Fantastic Four before the movie info came out.

Wow. Wow. That's - wow.

But you'd heard of The X Men before their movie came out, yes?

signed, seemingly more of a comic geek than she realised.

(fwiw, I think Jessica Alba looks horrendous with blonde hair. Just awful. Awful awful awful. But I remain cautiously optimistic, nevertheless.)

Most movies make a profit, just not on the books. At least, that's the way the shell game has been explained to me. They do all make money, but the studio will include all the promotion, shipping, tie-ins.... Any other costs they can think of so they movie never makes a profit on the books.

Umm, there there is going to be a fifth Highlander movie and Adrien Paul is producing it.

Also, so the print of Bats at the IMAX is not just the regular print, but the IMAX print, right?

(Because one of the times that I saw RotK was at the IMAX and it was disappointing.)

Got both Serenity and Willy Wonka and, sadly, Dukes of Hazzard this weekend too.

Luckily, we didn't have to sit through a full trailer for WotW.

Oh, dear. (Is Methos going to be in it?)

Is Methos going to be in it?

This.

The last time I watched the original Highlander movie I was sitting on a pontoon on the Nile. It was incredibly surreal.
