Pieces of April-meh
21 Grams-The trailer was doomy and pret/portentious, but I am excited to see this movie. With Mystic River, It's About Love, and 21 Grams, could this be "the year of Sean Penn"? Looking forward to that oscar speech...
The Station Agent-I'm curious, but this could really go either way

the texas chainsaw massacre one was pretty scary in the theatre

― jones (actual), Saturday, 18 October 2003 15:58 (twenty-two years ago)

Sean C-Is that post from "The Horace Mann Joke Book"?

I saw the one for Alamo recently. Mexi-hate ahoy! Out this Xmas!. Ew.

― nate detritus (natedetritus), Saturday, 18 October 2003 16:24 (twenty-two years ago)

I saw that too, Nate. They must have said the word "the ALAMO!!" about a thousand times in just a few minutes. I will most likely never see that film.

― adaml (adaml), Saturday, 18 October 2003 16:29 (twenty-two years ago)

I think I saw the Intolerable Cruelty trailer fifty times this summer and I only saw about ten films.

Otherwise: My Life Without Me. I like Sarah Polly, this looks like the kind of miserablism I can get behind.

Alamo: I love those grimacing evil Mexicans running at the camera with axes. Why was this movie made?

(Hi Kyle!)

I saw a trailer for the Last Samuari. And some film with Russell Crowe as on old sea dog, today. Both films look like being stinkers. and Holes, which looks like a Disney-fied Stand By Me.

― jel -- (jel), Saturday, 18 October 2003 16:36 (twenty-two years ago)

And from the trailer Intolerable Cruelty looks okay. Well, the kind of film I could get from the video shop and watch with my mum.

― jel -- (jel), Saturday, 18 October 2003 16:39 (twenty-two years ago)

I saw the trailer for Pieces of April, too, but it just made me want to see Katie Holmes, not the movie itself. So I rented Abandon instead, haha.

at the multiplex:
elf - will ferrell holiday nonsense. i am going to get super-high and see it on opening day.
the rundown - i guess this is already out. i have a soft spot for the rock, in spite of myself. looks quite entertaining, anyone seen it?
brother bear - i can't see cartoon animal movies. i cry and cry and cry, and it's quite embarrassing. hunters are involved in this one!
at the arthouse:
au hasard, balthazar - bresson, 1966. i'm going to see this tomorrow.

I saw the Matrix Revolutions trailer the other day. I can save $8 on a ticket now, it basically gave away the whole movie.

― David Beckhouse (David Beckhouse), Saturday, 18 October 2003 17:54 (twenty-two years ago)

yeah, Matrix Revolutions, that Zion place is such a dump! And those cyber-techno-hippies = blurrgghh! And the special effects look truly awful.

― jel -- (jel), Sunday, 19 October 2003 10:43 (twenty-two years ago)

are you insane?! clearly

― stevem (blueski), Sunday, 19 October 2003 11:18 (twenty-two years ago)

(by which i mean i think the Revolutions trailer is great, DOESN'T give too much away - unless i've not been paying enough attention - and the CGI looks very good to me - even the mecha troops)

― stevem (blueski), Sunday, 19 October 2003 11:20 (twenty-two years ago)

I thought the new Alamo movie was going to aim to be as historically accurate as possible. Yes, the Mexicans *were* the bad guys here (in much the same way that the British were the bad guys during the Revolutionary War, except I'd definitely take being a British subject over having to be a Mexican), but I think the movie was going to show that there were Mexicans who also fought at the Alamo against Santa Ana's troops, a fact which does get forgotten, sure. I dunno, though. Things got so muddled after Ron Howard left that I'm not sure about what it's going to be like anymore.

I really want to see Master & Commander (the Russell Crowe movie), though, probably only because it's got Russell Crowe in it. *laughs* And I have no idea what else is going to be out in theaters during the holiday season aside from that stupid-looking Elf movie, so I'm really going to have to pay attention from here on out.

― Many Coloured Halo (Dee the Lurker), Sunday, 19 October 2003 14:36 (twenty-two years ago)

no way, there was this one bit in the trailer that had the same level of technology as Tron.

― jel -- (jel), Sunday, 19 October 2003 14:37 (twenty-two years ago)

but then you are talking to the guy who wants to see Elf.

― jel -- (jel), Sunday, 19 October 2003 14:37 (twenty-two years ago)

(that Tron bit was to Stevem, I'm edgy I don't do that X-post thingie)

Elf does look like being one of the best films ever, I laughed at the bit in the trailer where the elf got run over, I got a weird look from my friend.

― jel -- (jel), Sunday, 19 October 2003 14:43 (twenty-two years ago)

can't think which bit you mean jel, the CGI in the new Matrix film looks second only to the LOTR trilogy to me.

― stevem (blueski), Sunday, 19 October 2003 14:47 (twenty-two years ago)

It was probably those mecha-walker things. They really did jump out of the screen as being cartoony.

― jel -- (jel), Sunday, 19 October 2003 14:52 (twenty-two years ago)

The Malibu ad kind of floored me. 'What if people in the Caribbean took life seriously'? Then there's lots of jolly fat black people at a beach shebeen 'comically' talking into huge retro mobile phones. Like, what the fuckin' fuck. Anyone else seen this?

― dave q, Sunday, 19 October 2003 15:03 (twenty-two years ago)

there is nothing wrong with wanting to see 'elf.' i was serious upthread when i said i was planning to go on opening day.

― lauren (laurenp), Sunday, 19 October 2003 16:12 (twenty-two years ago)

Alamo: I love those grimacing evil Mexicans running at the camera with axes. Why was this movie made?

This trailer was so ridiculous. The best movie about the Alamo will forever be Pee Wee's Big Adventure.

― Nicolars (Nicole), Sunday, 19 October 2003 16:14 (twenty-two years ago)

three weeks pass...

Troy! they are afraid to show the horse in the trailer = a bad sign surely

― jones (actual), Sunday, 9 November 2003 19:00 (twenty-two years ago)

I don't know what was up, but every trailer I saw before Mystic River, and I mean EVERY ONE (from Big Fish to House of Sand & Fog to Calendar Girls) seemed to have an obligatory moody shot of a foggy dock with a flock of birds taking off into flight.

― Eric H. (Eric H.), Sunday, 9 November 2003 19:05 (twenty-two years ago)

getting a lil sick of the 'along came polly' trailer

― cinniblount (James Blount), Sunday, 9 November 2003 19:06 (twenty-two years ago)

Perhaps with Troy they think that showing the horse would give away the brilliant twist?

― Martin Skidmore (Martin Skidmore), Sunday, 9 November 2003 22:08 (twenty-two years ago)

haha - you're probably right

― cinniblount (James Blount), Sunday, 9 November 2003 22:11 (twenty-two years ago)

(ps they show the horse)

― Andrew Farrell (afarrell), Sunday, 9 November 2003 22:12 (twenty-two years ago)

That movie The Day After Tomorrow is stressing me out.

― Carey (Carey), Sunday, 9 November 2003 22:14 (twenty-two years ago)

that fuckers gota hardon for nyc and la - they should tap his phones

― cinniblount (James Blount), Sunday, 9 November 2003 22:15 (twenty-two years ago)

I keep thinking about where high ground is that is close to my apartment.

― Carey (Carey), Sunday, 9 November 2003 22:18 (twenty-two years ago)

ten months pass...

"you know what Blade really needs? hot, young, white sidekicks! TWO of them! and one of them should be Ryan Reynolds". lay off the crack, hollywood!!

― jones (actual), Monday, 20 September 2004 13:47 (twenty-one years ago)

:( oh NO

― adam. (nordicskilla), Monday, 20 September 2004 14:08 (twenty-one years ago)

I was really hoping for more from the third of the Dan Perry biopics.

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Monday, 20 September 2004 14:10 (twenty-one years ago)

Before Sky Captain:

FINDING NEVERLAND: Eh. I like Depp as much as the next dude, but this looks pretty dull.

FIRST DAUGHTER: What the hell happened to Michael Keaton? He's a good actor! He hasn't been in anything for like 5 years, and now he's Katie Holmes' dad in this piece of crap?

SPONGEBOB SQUAREPANT MOVIE: Awesome.

― n/a (Nick A.), Monday, 20 September 2004 14:27 (twenty-one years ago)

That's President Katie Holmes' Dad.

― jaymc (jaymc), Monday, 20 September 2004 14:34 (twenty-one years ago)

I LOVE SPONGEBOB! I may be completely nuts. Or a child. Or gay.

― Tonight at ten (kenan), Monday, 20 September 2004 14:37 (twenty-one years ago)

Perhaps with Troy they think that showing the horse would give away the brilliant twist?

This makes me giggle because I'm imagining that Martin means Brad Pitt's penis.

― Dan Perry '08 (Dan Perry), Monday, 20 September 2004 14:40 (twenty-one years ago)

I don't really care about the Spongebob TV shows, but every preview I've seen for this movie has made me giggle and clap my hands like a dumb kid.

― n/a (Nick A.), Monday, 20 September 2004 14:42 (twenty-one years ago)

Huh. Before Sky Captain I got:
The Aviator: Again. Looks like star-studded dullness to me, as Leo just doesn't hold my interest as an actor. Will see it anyway.
Flight of the Phoenix: What the hell is this? It' s like that Danish movie where they do Hamlet in the desert in Africa only this time they have to build a plane before it's dark or something.
Ray: The music made me dance, and it looked well-acted and sure to win tons of awards.

― jocelyn (Jocelyn), Monday, 20 September 2004 14:45 (twenty-one years ago)

Flight of the Phoenix: What the hell is this? It' s like that Danish movie where they do Hamlet in the desert in Africa only this time they have to build a plane before it's dark or something.

It's a remake of a pretty good Jimmy Stewart movie
