Coming soon...

Thought this might be a useful thread in which to post trailers of coming attractions. I figure if we put them all in one thread, which will hopefully always be having new stuff in it to talk about, we can avoid the age-old trap of ruining them for ourselves before they've even been released.

First up- The new Indiana Jones movie!

(Mods, if you think this is a bad idea feel free to delete, but please tell me you did so or I'll just think I posted it drunk and am actually going insane).

That font they're using, it's really cheap and crap looking. Just a little thing but it detracts

14:52 / 14.02.08

There's nothing particularly wrong with it, it's just not the standard epic movie font that we've all come to know and despise.

15:06 / 14.02.08

I didn't even notice the font... I was all like "hat! whip! jumping onto truck! big fucking moving stone thing!"

I now officially can't fucking wait.

15:54 / 14.02.08

To elaborate, it reminds me strongly of the kind of font often used in trailers for made-for-video movies. That it's juxtaposed with the highly polished, brand spanking new, very classy indeed Indiana Jones Lucasfilm logo doesn't help.

The epic movie font doesn't annoy me, tbh - I'm not embarrassed to admit that I'm behaviorally conditioned to respond to it like an excited child. But that's not the point, it's not the absence of Trajan that's bothering me, it's the presence of whatever you call the font they're using.

I know I'm complaining like a whiny fanboy, but when it comes to Indiana Jones I am that whiny fanboy. And let's face it, this is proof positive that Lucas and co are gonna shit on my childhood, etc...

b-but the whip! the hat! the jumping on truck and the big moving stone things!

...don't they just spell AWESOME???

Hallo, Paper Spaceboy

16:18 / 14.02.08

My god, it's like they've spliced Indiana Jones together with those deplorable Odd Couple sequels where Jack Lemmon and Walter Matthau were just getting more and more decrepit and past it.

16:22 / 14.02.08

I'm waiting for the child to go to bed before I have another look, Stoats. The jokes re Indy's age I'm happy enough with, and as for how Ford looks in the hat now that he's in mid sixties: pretty bloody good, I'd say.

A fuck sight better than Stallone looks in the gloves, that's for sure.

16:43 / 14.02.08

Papers- no it isn't. ITISNTITISNTITISNT. *puts fingers in ears and runs off screaming*

*turns around briefly to say "if this sucks I may actually die!"*

15:04 / 15.02.08

Don't worry about him, if he's complaining about that he either hasn't seen an Indiana Jones movie before, or hasn't liked what he's seen. Nothing for us to worry about, I'm sure.

Rewatching the trailer in HD on my mighty work computer I'm happy to say that whilst I still don't like the font, the rest of it is very glossy and nice and just what I want to see thankyouverymuch. Very happy to see the return of The Storeroom.

Poke it with a stick

It may have been around for a wee while, but today I caught my first look at the Hellboy II trailer.

It's ok, but looks a little too much like Hellboy with added Pan's Labyrinth creatures thrown in:

Tsuga

Boy always was a dissapoinment, is that ficsuit name an homage to M. Night?

21:50 / 15.02.08

Nobody has been dissapoined by Shyamalan for at least a decade.

Roswell, New Mexico weeeeee

A Happening based on Shyamalan's "Signs" and "6th Sense" (seriously, what kind of tagline is that? Is Shyamalan trying to warn us about himself?), inspired by the video of REM's "Everybody Hurts"? This can't be happening.

PS: I'm a bit jaded and sort of agree with Papers on Indiana. But that first crack of Indy's whip really gave me the nazi-kicking safari goosebumps.

22:22 / 15.02.08

2 trailers here.

Both very different in tone. If anyone here can guess what's happeing without reading the spoilers that are all over the internet, I'd be quite surprised.

Um... Psst... Boy... That link leads to this thread.

[/slightly threadrotting heads up]

Gotta admit I didn't even catch those Signs/Sixth Sense tie ins in the tag line on first glance. My mind, blessed shiny little casualty of comic books and internet conspiracy theories that it is, was actually in a general vague agreement with the sentiments expressed in the text for a brief little tad of a moment; Oh, sure, the day all motorized vehicles cease functioning completely and we all trudge hopelessly toward the Ominous Postapocalypse City in search of umbrellas to stave off the Ominous Superstorm. Why, who didn't see that one coming?

That being said, what I've dug up on the web seems to coincide neatly enough with my initial impression. The first trailer can be found here. I'm on a slower connection, so I can't say for certain, but I do believe it even abstains from Trajan.

WHAT AN ASTONISHING TWIST

maybe trailers here?

The sequel you never expected to be made, it´s...Lost Boys 2! Click the link and enjoy that wonderful trailer.

"Your sister is a suck monkey."

It´s got (not Kiefer) Sutherland and Corey Feldman, who might as well be a vampire since he doesn´t seem to have aged a week since the original movie. The movie has pretty much the same plot as the last one.
I love these trashy kind of horror movies. Too bad it won´t be shown in the theatres, but then again, who (except for me) would go and watch it?

That music in the end brought some memories...

And on another news, a website is spreading a rumour that 300's producer said he is waiting for the studio to approve the budget for a sequel, and Francis M. would soon start writing. I'm assuming he was pulling the guy's leg, but I kinda morbidly wish he wasn't...
