Well as I said, if it was any other director I'd have my doubts, but if anybody can do a fun action movie that doesn't insult your intelligence, it's Spielberg. Granted, it has been a while since he's done such a movie. Over ten years, in fact, I'd say (since The Lost World did insult your intelligence) so I hope he still has it in him. And I pray to god he's finally gotten over his light flare fixation. I thought The Terminal was a great movie, but there were scenes where I couldn't even see Tom Hanks because Spielberg was letting so much damn light through the lens.

Endless posturing. How insecure can you get?

 

Uhm...just saying that it looked cool...from the teaser alls ya see is some cock and balls and...hey why am I defending myself to you MR. INSECURE ?!?! Alls you do is mock others constantly nit-picking on every little thing 'cause of your need to feel high and mighty. As high and mighty as a horses cock stuck up a thirteen year old's ass searching for more inches to penetrate.

 

Say does this mean that old Scaringthenationwithyourgunsandammunition Jax is back.....? Kewel.

Officially the last Classic TV show to be adapted for the big screen...or am I forgetting one?

 

Teasers don't get much teasier than this, but still could be good.

 

Interesting concept from Woody Allen: The same story, performed twice, with the same or very similar dialogue, by two different sets of actors, one as a comedy, one as a tragedy/drama. Sounds different, which is good.

Trailer for the Rotoscoped live action/ animation adaptation of Philip K Dick's "A Scanner Darkly"

Like when I first saw the Sin City trailer, I had no idea what to think of this.

 

Pros: the animators could use a little creative licence and make Keanu Reaves a better actor.

 

Cons: they're stuck with his voice.

Man, I can't wait for Scanner Darkly. About time they adapted another Phillip K. Dick novel. This is one of my faves, very interesting characters, lots of paranoia and confusion.

 

The animation looks amazing. Reminds me of that great philosophical film that was made Waking Life. Rather than grating on the eyes Jax, I found it particularly soothing and cool.
