Fred: So you don't worry that it's possible for someone to send out a biological or electronic trigger that effectively overrides your own sense of ideals and values and replaces them with an alternative coercive agenda that reduces you to a mindless meat puppet? Shopkeeper: Wow. People used to think that I was paranoid.

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

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.

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

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

Hey. New board.

I think Apes looks pretty great.

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.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!

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

This reminds me of that gag with Chris Farley and the History channel--what if history was written by ordinary people.

Watch Harrison Ford’s epic reunion with Chewbacca, it will give you chills

I dunno--it just made me sad.

But I laughed too.

Compassionately intolerant

I'm going with sad too. Sigh.
