Buffista Movies 7: Brides for 7 Samurai

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.

We are Buffistas. This isn't our first apocalypse. -- Pix

does anyone who saw the theatrical trailer for Rise of the Planet of the Apes feel like anything would be added to their experience by actually seeing the full length movie?

Nope. After all, I know how it ends.

That said, my suspenders of disbelief broke shortly into the trailer, because what with habitat destruction and poaching, the population of great apes is incredibly small--no matter how intelligent they became, they could never conquer 6 billion human beings, not unless they engaged in some insta-cloning process or something.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!

Surely they will engage in some sort of monkey business.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Yeah, but I need to see whether that ape actually reached that helicopter.

No.

But in the director's cut, yes.

Quick show of hands: does anyone who saw the theatrical trailer for Rise of the Planet of the Apes feel like anything would be added to their experience by actually seeing the full length movie?

Seriously.

After the 3 or 4 different Cowboys vs. Aliens trailers, I think I'm at that point with that movie.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

I must be the only person intrigued by the Apes. I love the effects, and would love to see two hours of them,

As for Cowboys and Aliens, my ticket is already purchased.

So, would Cowboys and Aliens and Apes be awesome? There could also be battleships.

Hey. New board.

I think Apes looks pretty great.

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."

Y'all are our scouts. Watch the movies and please report back.

move out and draw fire

Apparently Hollywood, in its wisdom, has made the decision to reveal as much as possible in the trailer, basicLly making it a mini-movie. They say that people want to know exactly what they are getting.

"I remember when they eventually introduced that drug kingpin who murdered people and smuggled drugs inside snakes and I was like 'Finally. A normal person.'” —RahvinDragand

Or won't be getting, as the case may be. The trailer actually was useful to me, but not in a way that will make any money for the studio.
