That Flight trailer is great. I think giving away the "twist" is necessary for the movie to pique your interest and to stand out. It's made me much more likely to go see it.

The "In Post Production" part is because it's a sale trailer for studios that leaked. Wasn't supposed to be shown to the general public.

It certainly looks like it, it looks cheap, like it's a British TV show instead of a movie. Just goes to show how much of the magic happens in post, though you can already tell it's 100% Gilliam.

Trailer for The Look of Silence, the followup to The Act of Killing, which you should really see. Like, really. One of the best documentaries I've ever seen and it's giving me goosebumps just thinking about it right now.

http://youtu.be/aA_ZHAs4M9k

I was able to see this a month ago, while Act was spellbinding, Look was terrifying and makes you even more uncomfortable than Act. It's fantastic but also a different sort of movie. It doesn't have that kind of subversiveness that Act did - using the vehicle of drama to make the culprits tell their own story.

It was so tense that I thought it had only been 30 minutes when it ended. Also like Act it had some beautiful scenic cinematography.

Looks fun.

I love this for so many reasons:

- Finland is I think in the Alps somewhere
- It's definitely a thing in Finland to send a kid with a bow and arrow into the forest by himself as a rite of passage, oh yes
- Playing "Hey I know that guy!" with both Finnish and British/American actors
- Bad guy is Russian with 99% certainty

I sure hope they're going with dubbing if they plan to make any money with this movie.

I think one of the voices in the beginning was Neil deGrasse Tyson, the one talking about rethinking our place in the universe.

Only part that got a reaction from me was the Bat Power Armour. I think I've seen it before but I like the idea. I'm a sucker for the extreme preparedness aspect of Batman.

Probably too much of the action sequence in the house but that's almost certainly only the kick-off scene of the movie, so there's a lot we haven't seen. And I still haven't got any idea what Tomorrowland actually is or how it works so it was still pretty light on plot reveals.

I managed to watch this blind and somehow the trailer made my jaw drop when I saw Whitey Bulger on the newspaper and realized the point of the family secret scene.

I dunno, I guess it was just well executed. I didn't expect it at all. However,

All that said, the silly movie cliche where the totally unhinged person has someone laughing over some trivial matter is getting old (in fact, Jack Nicholson basically did it the whole way through The Departed).

Depp's laughter made me immediately think of Jack Nicholson; not just the context, but his appearance and his voice too.

Bond movies tend to swing from the ridiculous to the down to earth and back again over time as the producers react to the audience and the audience reacts to the movies, and I'm perfectly ready for a movie with a Blofeld (who may be actually Blofeld, since they went through all the trouble to secure the rights to Blofeld and Spectre). Especially since it's Christoph Waltz.

The ridiculousness pendulum was particularly unkind to Pierce Brosnan who went from hunting a stolen stealth gunship in GoldenEye to ice surfing in Die Another Day. Moore was Bond long enough to go from serious (Live and Let Die*) to ridiculous (Moonraker) to back to serious (Octopussy) again.

* Bear with me! I mean contemporary standards here. Live and Let Die is also a great example of that time when Bond movies decided that aping whatever's in the zeitgeist is the key to success.

Technically it was about a Soviet general who wanted to detonate a nuke in NATO territory so he could invade western Europe so it is more serious in that sense, but it's bogged down by your typical Roger Mooreisms. However the clown scene is one of the more tense scenes in the movie, you just can't think about how much time he wasted putting that makeup on.

For Your Eyes Only is really the only "serious" Moore film.

Yeah, FYEO would've been a better example. It's all kinda relative, when you have movies like Moonraker or The Man With The Golden Gun (who will he bang? we will see!)

The Martian is a bad to mediocre book that can be turned to a solid to great movie by a competent writer. The biggest problem is with the protagonist and it's a big problem, but it can be fixed without messing with the story. If anything a rounded protagonist with more depth will make the story better by bringing a psychological dimension that the book completely missed.

It's a pretty spoilery trailer too. I mean, like some people argue, you can pretty much piece together what happens anyway and the book itself wasn't the most complex adventure either (but it sure was fun)... but still... there's a lot given away here.


I don't think it's that spoilery unless you already read the book in which case you easily make the connections between stuff showing up on screen and what happened in the book.

They've put all their chips on that movie at Rovio. They've put 100 million euros into marketing and 80 million into production, and they've already had to lay off most of their staff. If you have money and the know-how, short their stock like hell right before the movie premieres.

Exact same moment where I properly laughed out loud too. Betraying expectations is a great tool and the trailer is probably cut on purpose to rope you in by that point.
