Mayor ,'Chosen'
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.
something called Cowboys and Aliens really should be awesome.
So, apparently, the creator came up with the name first and tried to sell the film rights, even before the comic book was written. Then he bribed comic stores to sell the book below cost, to make it seem like it was more popular than it was.

Huh. That....does not surprise me.
Mainly it was just boring. I wasn't expecting boring.
No! Oh, I'm disappointed. I was planning on it being my Dumb But Fun movie of the summer.
Oh Jessica, I Loved "The Prestige." It was the other magic movie with Jessica Biel that was just so bad. I was disappointed for weeks.
I'm with le nubian. Loved The Prestige. Didn't think much of The Illusionist.
Advance reviews of Cowboys and Aliens have been generally positive.

Wow, damn.
I loved The Prestige too. So maybe I will like this.
I loved The Prestige, too, although I think a lot of it was the costume/set porn. And, you know, Hugh Jackman.
I didn't mind The Illusionist but I never rewatched it.
I expect this movie to have cowboys, aliens, and Olivia Wilde being hot and occasionally naked.
I now expect it to have Cowboys, Aliens, and Indians (in the guise of Adam beach), so I'm all over it. I just need to see Daniel Craig in person to get ready for the movie.
I found The Prestige disappointing too. Actually, I found it alienating, all of the main characters were sociopaths as far as I was concerned. But then there was the beautiful sets, as Amy notes, and bonus Hugh Jackman and David Bowie(!!!), so it was definitely worth seeing.
