Pixar trailers are always discouraging for some reason. I've never liked any of them.
I completely agree. But with Finding Nemo, even the premise sounded horrible...and yet.
I can handle the Oz Full Monty. I mean, not 'handle' handle.

Buffista Movies 5: Development Hell
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.

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.

Aw, crap, that is disappointing. Ah well. At least my expectations are appropriately lowered now.

Yeah, I'm still planning on seeing it, and I'm hoping I'll be pleasently surprised, but I've made sure to lower my expectations quite a bit.

Due to DVD release I finally got a chance to see Goblet of Fire. I have to put it as my least favorite of the HP series of movies. It seemed like it just jumped around from scene to scene. It was fun to see the tasks in movie form, but I'd still put it in last.

Which one is your favorite?
I enjoyed GoF but my favorite is PoA.

We're very stretchy. - Connie Neil
Really? I'd put it at a close second to PoA (with Sorceror's Stone and Chamber of Secrets following). Yes, it was very episodic, and could have used a more flowing edit job, but all the kids really stepped it up with their acting skills, and Gleeson and Gambon were both excellent. Even the little moments with Snape and McGonagall were fun (loved seeing Snape patrolling the study hall session, and the dance lesson was a hoot).

I'd rank them from Best to Worst, CoS, PoA, SS, GoF. I've enjoyed all of them though. If I hadn't read the book, I think the disjointedness of GoF would be pretty bothersome.

Or maybe it seemed more disjointed because I did read the book.
