Watchmen Trailer

I've watched this maybe 6 times. That Pumpkins song is snug in my brain now, and forever eradicated from the Batman & Robin soundtrack. WATCH!

Stormtrooper Jumbo Machinder

Remember those two-foot tall Shogun Warrior toys from the 70s? Remember your old neckless Kenner Stormtrooper figure? Well, they've been off making babies, and you'll be able to adopt them later this year.

Congratulations to the happy grandparents, Brian and Frank!

Terminator Begins - Terminator: Salvation Teaser

I didn't think I was going to like this. This was not the teaser my mother warned me about. I'm frickin' excited!!



I wish I didn't know the whole twist and all that jazz, or at least, I'm hoping that it's all a ruse on McG's part. Dear God, I'm excited for a McG movie. WOW!

Hamlet 2-

I love Steve Coogan -- Snake Baker turned me on to his BBC series, "I'm Alan Partridge," which comes close to OFFICE status to me (emphasis on close). Anyway, I just saw this trailer for HAMLET 2 and laughed my ass off - hope it's better than average...

NO Lan For Me, Thanks

12 Random Thoughts…

1. I tried. I really, really did. I walked in psyched as could be. Lincoln Square IMAX has never been as nuts since it opened back in 1996. I was feelin' the hype. People dressed as Batman and the Joker everywhere. Feeling even more excited that the four of us managed to get in a tightly secured IMAX theater despite the fact none of us had any ticket for the midnight show. Surviving both the initial ticket stub rip and check and another last minute row-by-row stub double-check. The force was strong with us last night. But yeah. Even though i was amped, pumped and ready to reformat my feelings about Nolan and his Bat-vision, I can't get down with this.

2. Note to Bale: The actor who portrays Batman at the Six Flags Batman Stunt Show still wants his performance back.

3. Ledger was AWESOME. Whenever he was on screen the film had my full attention. But, still, seriously, I thought he would be even better. Maybe a case of over-hype. I applaud the film for being so dark at times, but, as for the Joker, I wanted him to go fucking nuts. More nuts. The scene where he kills the Batman wannabe. More of that was needed. I wanted to be AFRAID of him. And I also wished i was more sympathetic, somehow. I love how Oswald gave me that balance. Oswald Cobblepot remains the ultimate screen Bat-villian.

4. Emotions between all parties in love triangle was nonexistent. And grating.

5. Caine. Offers nothing. Michael Gough offered much more warmth and heart to Bruce back in Keaton's day.

6. Freeman. Offers even less. Made me want to see the end of Wanted again.

7. Billy Dee was a way cooler Harvey Dent.



8. Maggie G. Jesus Christ. That face on IMAX. Jesus Christ in the sky it was too much. It was just too damn much, ya know? I mean, c'mon with that face and those line deliveries. Come on now. I may have thrown up a few of my nachos in my mouth. Funny how they taste the same when that happens. Was the Joker being ironic when he refers to her as "beautiful?" Oh, wait, i get it. Nolan cast her because the Joker thinks ugly things are beautiful. That makes sense. Okay. cool. I get it.

9. I want my Elfman back. I want a score that knows how to give me chills.

10. I want a Bat-vehicle that doesn't look like a toy some bad kid broke. What a mess of a vehicle.

11. Still - holy fucking shit. If you saw this non-IMAX you really are a fool. Seriously. Half the thing was shot In FULL-ON IMAX and it presents this mediocre film on a scale never-before seen for a movie like this. Whenever we cut to those second unit aerial shots and random (not to mention sloppily-directed) action scenes the film captivated me in a way that none of the characters could come close to. I can't get the scenes of Joker leaving the hospital out of my mind. I have not witnessed anything on that scale occur on screen since the motorcycle escape in the first act of T2-3D (the last official Terminator film). I would sit through the convoluted 150 minutes again just to see shots like that one more time. It's truly a sight to behold and i feel sorry for anyone who did not treat themselves to this experience for the first time. You only get to see a film like this for the first time once.

12. I miss Bob the Goon.
