Re: The Official New Trailers Thread

Yeah, I'd heard the Brothers trailer was on prints of Public Enemies.

Brothers Trailer 1

Meh, I thought it was pretty good until Tobey Maguire showed up. Could've been a great little drama about dealing with death and the lines in families, instead it seems to be some sort of revenge type thriller. Maguire does look crazy as shit though.

A Christmas Carol Teaser

This is the teaser that's apparently been out for a month now, but I hadn't seen it so I figured you guys haven't. Doesn't show much though.

Planet 51 Trailer 2

I still love the concept. And I think it'll be pretty big for Thanksgiving.

Some olders ones:

Nine Trailer 1

Looks pretty good, mostly due to its terrific cast. Hopefully, they put Cruz, Hudson, Fergie, and Cotillard in the littlest outfits possible.

The Surrogates Trailer 1

Preeeety stupid.

District 9 Teaser 1 (Unblurred version)

I don't know what to think about this yet, I'm glad to hear that it's rated R though.

Fame Trailer 2

Seems to take itself a bit too seriously for just being a dance movie.

The Boat That Rocked Trailer

Looks terrific, and of course Nick Frost is always ace. "I can see why you asked for that condom". Sucks that we have to wait until November though.

Taking Woodstock Trailer

I have no interest in Woodstock whatsoever, but the story behind seems ripe for a movie. Too bad, everyone is saying it sucks.

Jennifer's Body Red-Band Trailer

Oh man, I love it. Diablo Cody's dialogue is great as always, and the ultra hot combo of Megan Fox and Amanda Seyfried is outstanding. Can't wait to see it.

saw Public Enemies and the Brothers trailer wasnt attached it looks pretty good.

other thoughts
Surrogates looks good IMO Bruce Willis is my fave actor so i will see it. Plus it part of was filmed in the next town over from mine

Fame ugh

Taking Woodstock-looks awful and my hatered for Ang Lee doesnt help either.

Jennifer's Body weird as hell unsure about it.

District 9 looks pretty damn good. Very odd premise though.

Tranny - This is where you and I are going to have to disagree. My wife and I both thought Taking Woodstock looked great. It's got to be a generational thing. Now that we're 40 years out from Woodstock, it holds very little interest/significance for anyone under the age of 25 basically because you guys have never lived in a world without giant music festivals

Perfect Getaway, TT Wife, New Moon, Gamer don't work.

Ponyo looks like plain old Japanimation, and I don't normally like that stuff...

Amelia could go either way. I have a feeling it'll feel like its going nowhere, though.

W - Just wondering if you've ever considered the fact that there are many movies made that aren't made with you in mind? I can't tell you how many women I know of that can't wait for the Time Traveler's Wife, and if you seriously think that the legions of Twilight fans will care if New Moon is a good movie or not or that Amelia will not draw well, then I would have to begin to think that you haven't.

I also know a lot of folks like myself that can't wait to see Ponyo mainly for the fact that the Japanese understand animation is for more than entertaining the little ones.

I think when he says it doesn't work, he means the video wouldn't play.

In best Emily Litella/Gilda Radner voice, "Oh, that's different, Never mind"

And for those that aren't quite sure what I'm talking about

Yeah, I just got high-speed and those trailers weren't working anymore....... Also, I didn't say that Ponyo isn't good, just that I wasn't interested in it at this point in time. And Japanese are the only ones that entertain adults with animation? Fox has an entire night every week aimed at it.

I also have a feeling that New Moon won't outgross Twilight, though since the film got more people to read the book, it may barely beat it out. The reason for this is that of the 4 books, #1 and 3 are the most liked with #2 being the least liked (from what I hear) so unless its of great quality and hits people out of its normal parameters (doubtful) it'll have much less repeat views (though great for an average film, but not compared to the first). The people that saw Twilight 10 times may only see New Moon 4 times. Anyways, that's my thoughts on that film.

Amelia, I'm just not sure of. You've never been unsure whether a film was going to be great or dissapoint?

A film can be of the greatest quality and I don't have to like it. When I look at a film with the game in mind, I try and figure the films from other people's perspective. I want to see 75% of the shows that come out, so that's not a very good bar to use. And that's how most people on this board, HSX, IMDB, etc are. But, if my 18 year old brother who downloads films on the internet and rarely hits the theaters is planning on being at a film on opening day, its probably a hit. If my mother gets a group of her friends together and goes to a film, it's probably a hit. If churches are buying out blocks of seats at a theater, its something you want to look into.

Big Fan Trailer 1

Oh man, I love Patton Oswalt and I always thought he'd be great as a villian, like in the Reno 911 movie (but serious). This looks like a great drama with no clear cut good or bad guys. And a pretty good question at the heart of the movie. Hopefully, it'll be in theaters near me.

**Buscemi** · by **Buscemi** on Tue Jul 07, 2009 7:57 pm

Planet 51 looks interesting but I'll likely be disappointed in the end. Also, I noticed that the robot dog is basically a ripoff of Wall-E but this character can shrink things with its laser rather than cut things.

And Big Fan should be good if it ever gets released. It reminds me of the Robert De Niro/Wesley Snipes film The Fan but only more dramatic and less ridiculous. Also, I like that it's from the writer of The Wrestler.

**Buscemi** · by **Buscemi** on Thu Jul 09, 2009 3:05 pm

I also saw the Brothers and The Time Traveler's Wife trailers with Away We Go tonight.

Brothers- the beginning of the trailer makes it look too similar to last year's Stop-Loss but then it gets good once the revenge stuff begins to kick in. Hopefully it is a revenge thriller and the Iraq elements take a back seat.

The Time Traveler's Wife- didn't this same movie come out three years ago as The Lake House?

**Shrykespeare** · by **Shrykespeare** on Fri Jul 10, 2009 12:03 am

You saw Away We Go? I just found out tonight that a poker buddy of mine was an extra in that movie, in a scene filmed at our local dog track.

Would you care to write a review? I'll put it on my site if you do; just send it to me. It need not be that lengthy.

**Buscemi** · by **Buscemi** on Fri Jul 10, 2009 12:08 am

I wrote a little write-up in the An Idea thread. That's probably the best I can do without babbling for 500 words.

However, you could get 500 words on why Maggie Gyllenhaal's performance was pure Honey Baked Spiral Sliced Ham.

Shryke,

Yeah, a good bit of the part of the film that takes place in the Phoenix area was filmed at the dog track and at the JW Marriott resort. The part at the dog track with Allyson Janney and Jim Gaffigan as a "married" couple was a scream

Gaffigan is in it? How long?
