Another trailer:

I watched about half of Paul, since HBO On Demand's selection is terrible... I fell asleep, which is usually my metric for "this movie sucks." If I can sit through 2 hours of Lars Von Trier, I should be able to sit through a low-brow Christian bash.

I feel like that trailer is missing Matt Damon. And I don't mean to suggest that the movie will suck without him, but I feel like he needs at least a small part to make the transition work and lend credibility. Right now I'm getting the same vibe I get when I see American Pie 7: Someone's cousin's roommate goes to summer camp. It feels like a cash-in, when they could have just created a new spy series.

rewatched Wild Target last night. Great movie.

Bill Nighy is awesome, Rupert Grint plays his bumbling fool persona awesome, just like Ron Weasley, and Emily Blunt is all of the right pieces of Zooey Deschanel and Katy Perry without all of the 'im the quirky girl' or 'im married to that walking bag of aids' parts.

edit: Oh and Martin Freeman's hitman character is hilarious.

I just rewatched a few movies I haven't seen in years:

-Batman (1989) - This movie is STILL fan-freaking-tastic. One of the coolest on-screen Batman stories ever told. The visuals are fantastic, the soundtrack is amazing, great gritty "Batman" feel to it, the acting is spot-on, and Jack Nicholson stole the movie as The Joker. I'm gonna watch Batman Returns today as an encore!

-Super Troopers - Still freaking hilarious. One of the funniest movies ever made, IMO. If you haven't seen this (and you're not easily offended), I highly recommend NetFlix-ing it if you're in the mood for a good laugh.

-A Nightmare on Elm Street 2: Freddy's Revenge - The black sheep of the series (well until the remake came out, at least). This one is an oddball compared to the rest of the movies. It's not necessarily bad, but it's not great either. It's just kind of strange. Freddy tries to take over Jesse's body (the only Freddy movie where the main "hero" is a guy rather than girl), and ends up succeeding . This results in Freddy attacking people in the "real-world" and being able to be hurt as well. This just doesn't seem to fit into regular Nightmare on Elm Street dream logic.

-A Nightmare on Elm Street 5: The Dream Child - Probably the next worse one in the series. Which is the reason I tried to give #2 and this one a 2nd chance, because I remembered not liking them much when I was younger (yet I love the other Nightmare on Elm Street movies). I figured I might pick up on stuff that I didn't when I was younger and might appreciate it more. Well, I was wrong. It's still a bad Nightmare movie with a ridiculous plot where Freddy is trying to be reborn through Alice's unborn child. Freddy's dead mother, who was driven insane by Freddy's conception (being raped by a 1000 maniacs in an insane asylum), fights against Freddy with Alice. And the dream deaths in this one are so over-the-top (and not in a good way) that all the deaths just come off as cheesy.

And if anyone is interested, the Alien Anthology Blu-Ray is $18 shipped on Amazon.co.uk. Blu-Rays are region free.

that pool party scene makes me so angry.

It is definitely the weirdest of all of the series. I used to hate it, but now I kind of enjoy it for its oddness.

This is probably my least favorite of the series. Though I do find the absolute darkness of going into the whole conception of Freddy thing really disturbing and kind of like a "wow I can't believe they went there." That said, I've seen it a bunch of times but I think what bothers me is just how body-horror it got. Like the motorcycle scene feels more like a Cronenberg film than a NOES film. And to be honest, I can handle a lot in horror but that part where Freddy feeds that girl to herself always kind of turned my stomach.

I hope you have the blu-rays; they look fantastic.

Keaton is still my favorite Batman. He gets the character better than Bale. Can't beat Ledger's Joker though

From what I've heard, that's the anti-internet argument.

Not to argue, but Nolan's Batman is much different from Burtons. They are both unique in their own ways, and other than his parents death we learn little about Bruce Wayne.

Both are great though. But holy crap could you imagine if Bale had actually replaced DiCaprio's role in Titanic? No way could I see the "King of the world guy" being Batman.
