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

I'm so excited for Steph. I hope she's....well, she's probably watching previews.

I can't believe how many I got, at 3 fucking 30 in the morning. Could you not give a nod to the hour? Also, it was way stressy getting in, because the trilogy people were leaving, and they were jamming up the carpark with some strange decision-making. Oy.

Anyway, I did make it in enough time to buy a frozen berry lemonade and reach my seat (there was an argument in the C row about who sat where. Again, why, people? Your ticket, has information,, so look at it and behave. Do not make them have to call staff over and move a whole row (who didn't know each other, making it look like they'd been compounding an error) move over one seat. Just read. And behave.

They showed seven million trailers. Why does watch have Hill and Annoying Stiller and Annoying Vaughn? I suppose my question is when doe Ayoade make my movie, and he seems taller than I'd thought.

All the trailers were a basic waste of time until they rolled up on The Hobbit and it was gleebly flaily time on a Batman scale for me--that's the other thing that gets me to the theatre in the dark of night. Gollum. Looks great. Can't wait to fork over $75, insert catheter, and put on my 3D glasses. Then there was a Superman teaser, which I suppose was great if you have any faith in the movie, which I don't but I appreciate it belongs right before Batman starts. It's fair. Then...there was Rising.

But all the other crap? Was crap. Lots of it. Too early/late to be neutral or pleasantly surprised by stuff.

Shit's all sorts of different now.

Woe to the fucking wicked.

Sonofoabitch. Hobbit was the only one I actively wanted.

The guys next to me complained that our audience was lame because no one cheered for Superman.

It was a sweet teaser, and seeing him in flight was...it looked impressive. But they've fucked him up so much recently. I needed to see dialogue.

We also got an Oz trailer.

I am ... reserved. I was more on board when I thought that the blonde was Ozma, but then I found out it was Glinda and I went back to being reserved.

The flight scene in the big air rescue of Superman Returns was maybe the best I've ever seen, but it didn't make the overall movie any good.

Oh, and by sweet, I didn't mean suh-weet, I meant it was cute.

Amy did your Hobbit preview end with Gollum? That didn't get an outright cheer, but there was definite audience response, over any of the other returning characters.
