I’ve already seen a lot of movie trailers this week (and there are two days of movie watching still to come).
There is the ‘green team’ — The Green Hornet and The Green Lantern — and for some reason, they always seem to run them back-to-back. Poor planning on someone’s part at the studio.
And, of course, that blasted Little Fockers trailer has been running for months. I don’t know what’s more annoying — its total lack of originality, or the audience laughing at it every time. Depressing.
But my favorite discovery so far at the theater? Cowboys vs. Aliens (and it’s not even a cartoon, folks).
The movie trailer opens on a dusty town you’ve seen in a hundred other Westerns. Then, out of nowhere… aliens attack! And Harrison Ford is in it! And Daniel Craig and Sam Rockwell… with Jon Favreau directing!
I mean — come on! How could this not be the funniest thing ever?
I know, I know — it’s no Fockers. So brace yourself.
You might just see something you’ve never seen before.
Good show
Did you spy the lucky Brits chosen to participate in the London Olympics Opening Ceremonies?
But what about the loyal subjects who got snubbed?
Mashable.com writer Annie Colbert highlights 10 notable no-shows in director Danny Boyle’s epic extravaganza.
Ricky Gervais. Wallace and Grommit. Ask.com’s Jeeves. Pseudo-Brit Madonna. And what about Robert Pattinson?
He could have really used the attention this week.
While I see the logic behind Annie’s picks, I think she missed the most obvious omission in Boyle’s Olympic costume drama –
They were dressed and ready and waiting for their cue. Seems like a misstep to me.
Just saying.
