'Just Rewards (2)'
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.
Yup. Installed iTunes, updated Quicktime. Everything better.
Trailers....
Cars, eh, I still don't know.
X3....
It looks like it will at least be pretty, but as if the fears of Brett Ratner taking over from Bryan Singer weren't bad enough, I'm really irritated that they're not doing Dark Phoenix, after all that effort they spent building up to it. At least, that's what I read.
Me, three, wrt to Bond. I never willingly watched a Roger Moore "Bond" flick, if I could help it. Sometimes, however, older brothers who have custody of the remote don't always give you the choice.
I had the same "meh" reaction to the first Finding Nemo trailer, so I'm still holding out hope for Cars.
Yeah, Finding Nemo took me completely by surprise. I had no interest in seeing it based on the trailers, but we went to a free screening, and I loved it.
I'm still uneasy about Cars, regardless.
Pixar trailers are always discouraging for some reason. I've never liked any of them.
I'm guessing it's because some trailer-making hacks at Disney create them, not Pixar people.
But didn't the first Cars trailer seem to have stuff that was made just for the trailer? Like the cars were talking about the movie? Because that suggests Pixar involvement.

I completely agree. But with Finding Nemo, even the premise sounded horrible...and yet.
Sean, re: your X3 whitefont, what about the trailer makes you think that they're not building up to Dark Phoenix? I admit I know very little about the comic, so I don't know how Dark Phoenix is supposed to look or act or what she does, but I definitely got the feeling from the trailer that there's something freaky and not-right about Jean. And I'll be irritated too if they don't go that route after all!
It's nothing about the trailer, Kate. It's an article about the movie in a recent EW. I don't know that they've killed the storyloine entirely, but they spell out in pretty clear terms that it's not at all the main plot.
