New Battlestar Galactica Promo: The Epic Journey. Not much to say but f-n-a. Can't wait. Woo!
Update: I'm told that the one on http://www.scifi.com/battlestar/ is bigger.
I Was Trapped In A Movie Theater With Teenage Twilight Fans is a great look at Twighlight from someone who is not a teenage girl. Speaking as a geek and Harry Potter fan, I just don't get it (and haven't seen the movie yet either).
Fanboys, The Ultimate Quest For Star Wars Episode I trailer. Looks totally awesome, especially with the cast that they have in there. Sadly not out till February :(

Ow. Star Wars Holiday Special: Best Unsung Filk Ever, in Honor of Star Wars Holiday Special
JJ Abrams Star Trek finally has a full trailer online. This was the trailer that was supposedly attached to the new James Bond movie this weekend, but sadly it wasn't in the showing I saw (maybe only in the US?). I gave in and watched the cam version that's been floating around since Friday, but this one, being official and real and all, is soooo much better (especially in HD :)
Last paragraph sums up my feelings nicely... Star Trek: Star Trek Trailer Goes Online, Just In Time For The Inevitable Backlash
Warning, Tons of spoilers Movie Review: Quantum of Solace Is the Perfect Bond Movie
Another trek gizmodo link from Brian: Star Trek Plate Covers Won't Make Your Lights Turn On Any Faster. Is it wrong for me to really want a few of these?
SlashFilm has a link to the Harry Potter and the Half Blood-Prince International Trailer.
Sent from Brian are some More Star Trek Images of the Enterprise crew. Man this looks good....
Geeks of doom has a good review of Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull (Blu-ray).
[...]
The grey-haired duo of director Steven Spielberg and writer/producer George Lucas find themselves traveling the route so many baseball players (and directors, ahem, Michael Bay) find themselves on today: injecting superhuman strength into their bodies to produce outrageous results.
Hit the link for the whole thing.
Building the Falcon details the construction of an 800 piece 1/72nd scale model of the beloved Falcon...
Ever get confused about whose frakking who and who is whose kid and who is a cylon or not? The IO9 BSG Frak Tree has all the answers!
Quantum of Solace - Trailer 2 is up and going in SD and HD. Another trailer that makes me really want to see this movie :)
Your political opinions, or those on Michael Moore aside, the fact remains that his Slacker Uprising has been released online for free in streaming, mpeg4, xvid, and torrent links (for the price of an email address of course).
Looks like he's taken a page from the NiN playbook and is offering the DVD for sale as well (though for free).
Darren threw over a link to IO9 where they have some Frightening New Footage from The Day The Earth Stood Still. Looks very very cool.
Kevin Smith has the Zack and Miri Make a Poster and the Toronto Film Fest reaction over on his blog. I'm looking forward to this....
Why oh why would you need a Highlander Remake? Really, is it that old a movie that it needs a reboot?
Askmen.com has the "red band" (read: restricted, read: lots of nasty f-words) trailer up. For those who don't know, Zach and Miri Make A Porno is the latest from Kevin Smith and I'm really looking forward too it. Looks like an awesome cast too.
Pimping out a buddy's Dr. Who fan flick who just got a trailer out on the net: Doctor Who ::Victimsight. Cool stuff, check it out.
New characters from the latest Star Trek movie have been revealed thanks to Comic-Con. SlashFilm has the details on Star Trek: Sulu, Scotty, McCoy and Chekov Revealed!. Make sure you click through for the high-res update.
Another one from comic-con... X-Men Origins: Wolverine Leaked Comic Con Footage I. Woo!
The trailer that had the collective geek world tight in the pants: TR2N ComicCon 2008 teaser (tweaked). What do I have to do to get a better / full version dammit!?
Looks pretty awesome though, that I can agree :) Thanks Dave.
Slashfilm has the Caprica Trailer online (from scifi.com). It's a bit odd though... definitely not what I expected, still, BSG is out for another year (ish?) so I'm looking forward to seeing what they have to offer in Caprica.
IO9 has a teaser of Terminator Salvation the T4 movie to be released next summer.
Because I enjoy torturing my friends with information about movies they still can't see for (*sigh*) over 10 days, I presnt /Film's 10 Reasons Why I Loved The Dark Knight.
Geeks of Doom has a pointer to the First Five Minutes Of ‘The Dark Knight’. I'm actually going to avoid this (if I can bear it) and wait to see the whole thing in one shot on the 18th.... 14 days away (ugh.... maybe I can't wait that long!)
Digg has links to the First 'Quantum of Solace' Trailer, along with HD Links in the comments. I'm not sure if it's a localization thing (isn't the internet supposed to be universal?) but I couldn't see anything on the main site, so I used the links in the digg story.
For direct links to HD, you want the following (thanks to hoSSo for posting them):

Update: Just watched it..... OMFG Best looking movie ever..... where's my time machine to get me to November 7th right f-n now!!
This /Film post has some information on Luc Besson's newest movie, but really, all I care about is the video from District B13 at the bottom :) What a great chase scene!
Starship Troopers 3: Marauder Movie Trailer? Really? Argh.... please, the first one was awesome, the second was crap, I can only expect this one to be utter crap. Via /film. And is it just me or did they reuse a bunch of effects from the first and second movies?
Found a Wanted featurette which looks very cool, makes me want to see the movie (and find the comic too)!
The Mummy: Tomb of the Dragon Emperor Teaser Trailer on /Film. Looks cool, though almost a bit too mystical-ish for me. The first 2 mummy movies were of course mystical, with the whole mummy-coming-to-life thing of course, and they worked well, so we'll see how Brendan Fraser does this time.
I just hope that this re-treatment of my childhood memories won't be Jar-Jar'ed up like Episode 1...
A new trailer for Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull has been released.
You can watch the first 7 minutes of SPEED RACER on Yahoo! Movies (including HD links).
SlashFilm has Kung Fu Panda Movie Trailer #2.... looks a bit more amusing this time, maybe something I'd go see on a lazy Saturday.
SlashFilm points out that there are Three Minutes of Speed Racer available online.
Saw last night that there is a new Incredible Hulk trailer out. I wasn't all that interested or excited about this movie, however this trailer makes me feel slightly less "meh" towards it. Edward Norton may just be able to do it as Bruce Banner....
The Final Cylon Will Be Revealed Now! Or so they say anyway. Interesting read for sure:
As mentioned before Greek religion has their twelve Gods of Olympus that coincide with the mythology of the Romans, Egyptians, and Norse people. Then there is also the “Chariots of the Gods“ written by Erich von D�niken which talks about there being twelve planets which are governed by twelve gods. Last but not least there are twelve Cylon models of which 11 we know about and one that is not known to at all.
Another slashfilm post..... No New Dark Knight Trailer Until… Sunday?! Bootleg Now Online! Similar but not the same as the one from the previous side-by-side post.... love the bit at the end about the car.
New Hancock Movie Trailer from American Idol. This one makes the movie look not only hilarious but also an I-want-to-see!
Star Wars: Clone Wars Trailer Shows All-Out Jedi Mayhem.... via io9. Hopefully this one won't be taken down too soon.
Doctor Who Season 4 trailer!! Not actually high quality, youtube only.... man, I can't wait!
Apple has the latest trailer for WALL•E up. I'm looking more and more towards this movie all the time. Make sure you watch up to the end of the trailer, cute and funny.
So the new Hulk movie is coming out in a few months and tonight there is going to be a teaser for it on TV, and there is a teaser for that online now.
Firstshowing.net has the Dual International Speed Racer Trailers Launch. At first I was a bit unsure about this movie, but it does look like a very fun and visually cool looking comic-book-y show.... kinda like the early batman movies, but not taking themselves as seriously (and sucking so much (other than the first one of course)).
Guess we'll get to see when it comes out May 9th.
New ‘Iron Man’ Trailer via Geeks of Doom. Holy crap I can't wait for this movie!
‘X-Files 2’ Teaser Trailer at WonderCon. Best part for me was the screaming of the people in the audience as they (I presume) realized what they were seeing and were enveloped by the absolute coolness of it all! As an old-time X-Files buff, I can definitely relate :)
Looks like I wasn't the only one disappointed with the Knight Rider movie last night..... IO9 declares that Knight Rider Smashes Our Childhood Memories Without Turbo Boost.
Way too much driving, not enough KITT, way too many commercials, not every car on the road is a ford and Hasslehoff wasn't wearing a "Don't Hassle the Hoff" shirt were among my complaints. I can only pray that the upcoming series is better.... (assuming it appears at some point of course).
Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull trailer... including high def links. W00t!
Geeks of Doom has ‘Quantum of Solace’ Teaser Poster and a video with some behind the scenes info... have to wait till November though :(
IO9 has a bunch of new Knight Rider info including videos and clips.
Oh man do I so hope that this doesn't completely suck...
M. Night Shyamalan's The Happening Teaser Trailer make it look really creepy and I hope it's good.... watch the trailer and and tell me the part where it goes black and there's just 'crunch, crunch' isn't super creepy. Set to open June 13, 2008.
Iron Man new TV spot from the SuperBowl (I presume). Some awesome scenes in there... I'm really looking forward to this one now!
Via Darren comes Transformers Universe a super-cool clip of the original transformers... hard to describe, but just go check it out!
Anyone remember playing the cool-yet-creepy American McGee's Alice? I remember it, and can't wait for the movie starring Sarah Michelle Gellar!
From the Totally Rad Show episode I found a trailer for Chocolate, which is similar to Ong Bak which I totally enjoyed (think old school (young) Jackie Chan, but from Thailand). This is about a girl who is autistic in that instead of counting toothpicks she kicks ass..... Looking forward to seeing this appear somewhere.
Sharp eyed Darren pointed me to a Star Trek Teaser Trailer Review & Video. The trailer is shown apparently before Cloverfield, which starts tonight, and what I'm looking forward to seeing.
10 Reasons Why Cloverfield Lives Up To The Hype has details (and very very minor spoilers) about the new movie Cloverfield and how it does in fact live up to the hype. Looking forward to seeing it this weekend!
Via digg: First Trailer For New Knight Rider Airs. Barely a teaser, still cool to see.
More movie news.... you can check out 5 minutes of Cloverfield. I'm going to take a wild guess and say it's still not going to tell us what the heck the movie is about :)
Perez Hilton posted the link to a YouTube version of the The Dark Knight trailer. Anyone got a better (HD?) version?
Update - Somehow I figured that Oneiros would be the one to find it :)
G4TV has a 10,000 BC trailer. First I've seen.... anyone know more about this movie? Will they have good teeth?
First official Indiana Jones Poster is out. I'm so looking forward to May 22nd....
What's new in Blade Runner: The Final Cut? Detailed list at SFFMedia.com.
Geeks of Doom points out that ‘The Golden Compass’ - First 5 Minutes is online at the AOL movie site.
Darren pointed that a FIRST LOOK: 'Speed Racer' Trailer is up. It's fairly low quality sadly, but shows some of the look of the movie. Looks interesting for sure.
Update There's an HD version up on MovieFone.
Oneiros points out that AICN has New Joker and Batman promo pics from The Dark Knight.
Exclusive First Pictures of KITT From The New Knight Rider TV Series... yup, it's a mustang!
More Dark Knight news as Empire Magazine reveals the Joker. Finally! Hope his performance is good, thanks Dave!
Latest website found by JWZ is The Ha Ha Ha Times, a site by the joker it appears.
Darren pointed me to a proper quality The New Cloverfield Trailer. Whhohoo!
Even though it seems to be getting panned a bit, Don't Link This has the Only reason to see Beowulf.... yup, a new trailer for Cloverfield. I presume though this is going to show up on the Apple Trailers page fairly soon.
'J.J. Abrams' Cloverfield is Back has a new trailer coming soon. Link has some info.
Couple of shots of Zachary Quinto as Spock. Zachary is best know (to me anyway) as Sylar from Heroes.
My coworker PeeJay pointed me to The Mist Internet Trailer.... which I have to say, looks really good and I only hope that this movie stays as faithful to the book as Shackshank did.
While you're waiting for the I am Legend trailers, check out Jumper Trailer - World Premiere found in the Digg comments. Looks very cool. Why haven't I heard about this yet?
There are Two New I Am Legend Movie Trailers out. Good luck getting to them as they appear to be dugg, slashdotted, or reddited or something now.
Update: Found some on YouTube.
Star Trek casting details emerge. Scott Simon Pegg as Scotty (he's the skinny guy from Shaun of the Dead and Hot Fuzz) and John Cho as Sulu (Harold, from Harold and Kumar go to White Castle).
Whoohooo, found a New Wall-E Movie Trailer. Wall-E is the new movie from Pixar.
Apple has the Iron Man trailer. I'm not 100% convinced, but it does look pretty cool! :)
Ain't It Cool News has a preview and spoilers of Blade Runner: The Final Cut up for your perusal.
Thanks to Darren for pointing me to Run, Fat Boy, Run, hilarious looking new movie from Simon Pegg, who did Shaun of the Dead and Hot Fuzz.
Aliens vs. Predator - Requiem trailer is out. Yowza, definitely not something you'll see on TV anytime soon, lots of people's heads exploding and the like. Super-cool stuff!
OMG. Sounds like JJ Abrams (of Lost fame) will be doing a Dark Tower movie, which Stephen King confirms.
I'm torn about this. I consider the Dark Tower King's best work, and up there in my favorite books of all time (it's a series I literally have been reading since high school). However, movies from books don't translate well, case in point, Bourne Identity (a fine movie, but incrediably cut down from the original book), 99% of Stephen King's other movies, and a host of others. See my previous comments on this.
The only way to do the DT justice is to make it a mini-series, with a minimum 8 hours per-book.
I can only pray that this doesn't destroy my memories of this series :)
Whohoo! Low res, but in existance, check out this Iron Man trailer from Comic Con.
I've seen most of this already, but if you haven't, check out the Bionic Woman preview.
The Bee movie, Jerry Seinfeld's new project has a trailer online. Looks..... uhmm.... kinda lame to be honest.
Get Smart Teaser Movie Trailer, thanks Forever Geek!
I remember watching Get Smart back in the day and just loving the coolness, cornyness and funnyness of the whole thing. Lets hope that they don't destroy this part of my childhood.... Transformers was excellent, I hope that Steve Carell does as well as Max Smart.
Fish, Rats, Chefs and Robots. - all about designing characters for pixar's movies.
13 minute HBO show First Look: Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix via Geeks of Doom.
Last Transformers story today, I promise. This pic of a name change form shows someone who is way to into the transformers.
Cool look at the Transformers Special Effects from popular mechanics.
Geeks of Doom has a transformers review. Good review, right in line with the rest, saying that other than a couple of minor things (juvenile love story sub-plot for example), the movie kicks ass and does not destroy your childhood :)
I'll probably be going tomorrow night, assuming I can juggle things around properly.
Movie reviews blog has 2 New Transformers Clips as does Forever Geek. Have I mentioned how much I am looking forward to this movie?
Adam Savage (of mythbusters fame) argues why Blade Runner still holds up special effects wise. I have to agree, there is definately something to be said for a movie that doesn't use all CG and green screens, sadly too many movies these says have horrible acting (*cough*ep1/2/3*cough*) due in part to (IMHO) the fact they are acting against nothing but massive green sets. Back in the day (Blade Runner for example) they had actual sets and props and you can tell (IMHO).
Sadly while I love the idea of Blade Runner, it really ends up being a favorite movie to not watch. Last time I watched it I found it almost..... boring, even though it wasn't, even though I know it's a great movie.
I had the pleasure of seeing Fantastic Four: Rise of the Silver Surfer with Firefly and Dana (of the very famous security blog </plug> :)
Read below for my take on it.... may be minor spoilers in there (though I'm sure you can pretty much guess most of it anyway :)
First of all I was happy for Oneiros that Galactus was not represented by a guy in a robe. The trailer has a scene that indicates that the Surfer is talking to a hooded, robed guy who you assume is Galactus, but lucky for the comic book purists he's represented in a far bigger way.
The movie picks up a few months or years after the first movie, with the FF dealing with the ups and down of being superstars. They are drawn from their "normal" superhero lifestyle when a mysterious force in the form of the Silver Surfer appears, and they discover that the surfer precedes the complete destruction of any world that he visits.
Fun ensues.
The movie was fun, and in my opinion worth the $8 to see it in the theaters. There's definitely something about certain movies that, for me anyway, makes it worth going to the theater for the 'big screen' experience (of course, these days that involves over priced popcorn, 20 minutes of ads before the previews even start, people kicking the back of your chair, checking their cell phones, and spilling their drinks on your feet... not that I'm bitter!).
The special effects are great of course, and the characters are not bad. I still find Jessica Alba wooden and while incredibly attractive, somehow not sexy at all. She really tries hard to act in the wedding scene, but really (to me) seems to blend into the background. The Human Torch and The Thing were the main focus in this movie. There was a fairly good mix of comedy and seriousness, with the standard array of predictable characters coming in and out (the stern and unforgiving general, the evil guy who double crosses, etc). The action and storyline are probably very predictable for comic book fans (who know who/what Galactus and the Silver Surfer are and do) and only mostly predictable for most savvy movie goers.
Other than the predictability and wooden performance from a couple of the characters, the only real complaint I have about this movie (for what it is anyway) is there is a chase scene through some mountains with what I think were great special effects, but the chase happened at night, so you couldn't see the great effects!
My recommendation (as I don't have a proper rating system here) is go see it on cheap night at the theater, or go see it on DVD at a friends place with a nice 42" LCD TV and surround sound system ;)
Transformers review of an early showing (or screener or something like that) over at AICN. Check it out here.
Not the best quality, but the 6th Transformers Commerical makes its way online. Man I can't wait for this movie!!!
There is a teaser for Star Wars Clone Wars available. Looks pretty good IMHO, a nice mix of cartoony-ness and realism done in 3D models. Check it out! According to wikipedia, the series is expected to debut in 2008 :(
Via digg is a good article which compares Theatrical Cuts vs Director’s Cuts, and is a good look at what changed, and what (if anything) was better/different/worse in the two cuts. Includes such classics as Leon, Brazil, and Apocalypse Now.
Stars Wars: Where Are They Now? shows pics of the actors from Star Wars, well, then and now. Kinda neat to see how folks have changed. Wow, Harrison was young!
Forever Geek threw up the Extended Fantastic Four clip that aired last night after Heroes' Season Finale. Anyone else a little disappointed with the Heroes finale? I thought it was kinda.... well, a big build up and then a pretty lame end. Also what happened to "we're not going to drag this out season after season" and then suck you right into season 2. Grrr...
There is a Bionic Woman Sneak Preview up on YouTube. Looks potenialy like a cool fall diversion. Looks like JWZ found a full version.
Transformers Movie Update: Sector Seven Video Gives Nod To Dinobots, Insecticons, Lazerbeak And Generation One Bumblebee. My fav is the original bumblebee :)
Oh. My. God. This new Transformers trailer looks super-double-plus-awesome. Transformers fighting, lots of transformers, no lips on Optimus Prime.... looked all good (except for the one part where there was a transformer skating down the highway, but we'll see when it is released on July 4 :)
A nice collection of long movie takes. I probably wouldn't have bothered to look at this page, much less post it if I hadn't noticed (and raved to everyone I talked about it with) the super-long takes in Children of Men.
How Lightsabers Work. Old yet good!
A lightsaber blade can deflect blaster bolts. In most cases you will want to deflect the bolts back at the person who shot them at you in the first place, but it is also possible to deflect ...
Cool, a 9 minute preview of Ratatouille is available from Apple. Ratatouille is the new movie from Pixar about a French rat who dreams of being a chef, but is hindered by his heritage, mainly that is, by being a rat.
50 New Transformers Photos via Digg. Nothing immensely amazing, but good to check out. Who is the girl, whohohoo hotness!
Some more info as Bay updates us on Transformers:
The unreleased ad (Prime speaks) that was posted on youtube was a test that European were making with the ads. The clip where OP was "speaking," lets just say that it wasn't OP or Cullen speaking. It was something the European studios added on their own. In fact, it was a test shot.
They are referring to the infamous youtube clip that all the hardcore nerds (you know who you are) got their panties in a knot about how Optimus Prime had lips :)
Another new trailer for the latest Harry Potter trailer. Only youtube size, but still good. It'll be showing in front of Spiderman 3 in May.
Title says it all.... THE BOURNE ULTIMATUM on Yahoo! Movies.
Best line in the trailer: "... trying to kill him and failing.... just pisses him off." :)
ISEB has some new Spider-Man 3 Film Clips. Great stuff, but some spoilers in a way, so if you want to go into spidey 3 totally blank, keep away :)
As an added bonus a new trailer is up, with lots of new goodies in there.
Forgetfoo has a 7 Minute Peek of Spiderman 3. This has been posted before, but what the heck, Spidey rocks!
Oneiros pointed me to the Stardust trailer a week or two ago, looks like it's finally up on apple's site. YAMFACBOGN (Yet Another Movie From A Comic Book Or Graphic Novel) that looks pretty damn awesome. The HD version is here.
The Battlestar Galactica podcast commentary for the season finale, "Crossroads Part 2" (0320) is finally online. Kudos to Ronald D. Moore for doing these by the way, fascinating to listen to what goes on behind the scenes of TV's best series.
How long till season 4 again?
Ugh, Forever Geek found a Species Quattro Trailer... won't they ever learn? The good news is that there's some info from Kevin Smith on his new horror movie entitled Red State. Can't wait for the latter, can't wait to completely miss the former :)
Just up on yahoo movies is the LIVE FREE OR DIE HARD trailer. Looks like an unrelenting series of amazing car, chopper, plane, jet, truck, and bridge stunts, each wilder and less believable than the next.
I can't wait! :)
Speaking of Transformers, here's a couple of new TV spots. Oneiros emailed me these the other day, but I forgot to post them. Here they are in flash format anyway :)
Some cool pics from the transformers movie of Transformers actually fighting!
Every time I see more from this movie I can't wait for it to be here and so hope it doesn't suck.
Funny trailer for "I Now Pronounce You Chuck and Larry", the latest from Adam Sandler and friends. Looks potentially funny, not sure how offensive it is or isn't to straight or gay couples. I at least giggled at it.
Sweet New Transformers posters. Not to hip with the Megatron one, love the Optimus Prime though!
A nice comparison of the "300" movie to comics. I saw this movie last night and can't wait to see it again.... in a word "gorgeous". The look, the colors, the action sequences, the choreography.... just amazing. You could also tell the story was ripped right out of the pages of the comic book (as shown in the link).
Go see it. Now.
Some pics of Venom from spiderman 3 over here. Don't click if you want to be totally surprised... doesn't look like there are that many spoilers though, just the look of Venom.
Apparently during Heroes last night (not for me though) there was a new Spiderman 3 trailer. If you missed it fear not, you can get it on the Spider-Man 3 HD on NBC site. ThanksForever Geek (nice new design btw!).
Sweet find from Darren. 300 Seconds of 300. Low res, youtube quality, but still cool to see!
Forever Geek noticed a New Fantastic Four Spot. I have to admit I'm getting a bit excited about this one as well.
Forever geek reveals a very nice looking New Image from the upcoming Babylon 5 Movie. Wait a minute, there's an upcoming Bab5 movie? Cool!
Now this is exciting for me.... Forever Geek dug up that JJ Abrams to direct King's Dark Tower. The Dark Tower is a fantastic seven book series from Stephen King that has been on my own internal version of the 10 best movies never made.
It's also scary to me, because unless this is a 30 or 40 hour movie they are never going to capture the book properly. Stephen King's It was an OK attempt to make a movie of one of King's best loved horror stories and it was 192 minutes.... 3.2 hours! Now remember that the dark tower series is a full seven stories of incrediable depth written over a period of over thirty years! So based on that this movie would have to be over 22 hours long :)
Guess we'll see what happens...
It's apparently almost oscar time, and the pirates are out in full effect at Oscartorrents.com. They even have a legal note:
To those worried about downloading in case they get sued: by our calculations, your chances of getting nailed are way less than your chances of winning the lottery. Don't think twice about it.
In addition to torrents for all the movies in all the oscar categories, so you can play along at home!
A cool entry from Bruce Campbell's video blog on his roles in the Spider Man movies. Another hot one from Darren, as usual :)
I'm a bit worried about Live Free or Die Hard, it just has so much potential to be so so bad compared to the first one or two.
Cat5 will be happy to hear that the Sci-Fi channel is making a "Diamond Age" miniseries. I hope they don't screw it up. Another Stephenson book that I'd love to see a movie of (but know they can't do it) is Snow Crash, which incidentally make #3 on a list of top ten sci-fi movies that never existed.
W00t! Lucas officially announced that production of Indiana Jones 4 will start in 2007. Finally! I won't believe it until I see it in the theaters though :)
My only worry is that they left it too long and some of the magic will be gone. Well, that and the fact that Harrison Ford is getting a bit long in the tooth compared to the young 'un he was in the original trilogy. I'm also worried that the new IJ will fall victim to the same thing that happened with the new Star Wars movies.... they weren't nearly as good as the old timers remembered the originals being (or thought we remembered them being anyway) and the kids didn't seem to have the history with the original trilogy to make the new trilogy (as) relevant. Course, the new Star Wars trilogy kinda sucked as well, which didn't help. Hopefully we wont' have Indy fighting hoards of computer generated characters (though for some reason I have a feeling we will, case in point a few of the scenes in Curse of the Golden Flower looked like the orc battles from LoTR...).
This Fantastic Four Rise of the Silver Surfer - Teaser Trailer is much better than the Youtube video that was posted a couple of days ago. Nice and in HD, showing some good footage. Will be interesting to see how this franchise does. Any comic book experts want to point us newbies to info on what this silver surfer stuff is all about?
Sorry for the lack of posting lately, got hit with a bug or food poisoning or something.... anyway, here's a new Transformers movie trailer for your enjoyment. Shows a lot more than the previous teaser, though not nearly enough IMO :)
Title pretty much says it all..... the Die Hard 4 teaser looks as action packed as the first three. We'll see about plot though :)
So looks like we'll have to wait another seven months for the new Harry Potter movie, Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix.
I'm not sure how I feel about this (again). Seems that Disney is making a movie of the book Bridge to Terabithia. This was one of my favorite books as a young lad, and actually disturbed me a lot, if anyone remembers how it ended. Can justice be done? I mean they did Narnia last year (not bad) are redoing Transformers (potentially horrible, but we'll see), and Charlotte's Web (trailers look good, but will they come through?) and seem to be on a tear of movies with their origins in the 80s. Maybe this is a case of all the kids of that generation (ie: me) getting old enough to now make movies and are deciding to make their favorite childhood stories.
So yea, there's a trailer, clicky clicky and tell me what you think.
The Tranformers Pics page is a lot of toy and concept images, but there are some nice gems from the soundstages.
I think I'm going to have to buy this video based on the opening Chase scene alone. Definitely shows the French affection for pakour (free running) (wikipedia entry).
Apparently Reno 911 is a TV show or something, now they have a movie. Looks hilarious though, I may have to see if I can find the TV version somewhere to catch up. Worth it?
Paul Thurrott has a very nice Windows Vista Review. He goes into the history of the product, the 7 different editions and what they really mean. He's up to part 3 of 8 right now, so keep checking in if you're looking to get your vista fix.
For everyone who watches Battlestar Galactica, here's the Atmospheric Jump portion from the last episode, possibly the most awesome 2 minutes in TV memory IMHO. If you're not watching BSG, you really need to! Hurry up now, while there's only 2 seasons to catch up with!
Roland D. Moore's Podcast Commentary is fantastic as well.
Random interesting link for Battlestar Galactica fans, a page with some of the Season 1 shooting locations. More interesting of course for the Vancouverites of course :)
A new Trailer for the movie Eragon is out in all sizes from small whopping 1080p HD. If you haven't heard about this movie before, well, I haven't either :) However, it looks like a non-sucky, non-cheesy version of Dungeons & Dragons. Dragons, fireballs, wizards and magic, oh my!
This is very cool. Lured in by this reddit story about what Sam and Frodo really saw on the set of LoTR:TTT, I checked out the rest of the site, which has lots of really cool visuals from movies, both matte paintings and pre-visualization artwork.
A very cool movie I've seen on a couple of link sites entitled Spin and resisted watching. Something about two turntables and a time machine sounded lame/odd. I broke down and watched it and it's great, must see, and you can trust me :)
So my buddy Dave has sent this link in various forms to me 3 times now, probably about time I actually posted it. Hopefully this time it won't get taken down again.
The trailer for 300, a movie based on a graphic novel of some sort. This is the first I've heard of it, but it sounds like it's pretty exciting. Something about spartans or something like that. It looks like they got the comic book feel down nicely in the movie, styalistically anyway. I'm not sure about the look though, it's almost like a really well done CGI movie in places, not a live action one. Could be just the flash movie though. Anyway, thanks for the link(s) dude.
A nicely done comparison of the 1977 and 2004 versions of Star Wars, and the 122 changes on starwars.com. Via Paul Thurrott.
Ooohhh! A James Bond 'Casino Royale' Trailer Online. Looks good, and I have to say just based on the trailer of course, I like the new Bond (Daniel Craig). Awesome car flip towards the end of the trailer too.
And it's out on my birthday, what a great present!
Randomly clicking around and found the trailer for School For Scoundrels and man does it look funny. The trailer is funny anyway, we'll see about the movie :)
So anyone out there seen Clerks 2 yet? I was just trolling through the Memorable Quotes from Clerks II (2006) on IMDB and laughing my ass off at some of them. Anyone seen this yet? As my buddy Dana says, being a Kevin Smith movie is enough to see it.... unfortunately last weekend was pretty busy, so it'll probably wait until next weekend.
Oh man... first Transformers and now this. What part of my childhood will hollywood not want to change/update/make better?
Sometimes the most simple mashups are the best. Who'da'thunk that a simple meshing of David Bowie and a video of the Shuttle Launch would be so cool? Here's Discovery Oddity (David Bowie Meets the Discovery Launch).
