Will Roger Waters duke it out with Michael Bay over the title of that Transformers movie? Throw in some David Gilmour and a little "Pink Floyd's reuniting" buzz and it's a media goldmine for everyone.

I hope Olivia Wilde gets blowed up, real gooood.

Something is wrong. Very wrong. Because that Transformers clip was pretty freaking sweet... I'm sure the movie will be terrible.

* That joke works better on the previous trailer thread.

"just cram as much action in a trailer as possible."

Fixed.

i'm sold on super 8

i find it amusing, with all the love people have for superhero movies, action blockbusters etc, that there is such loud unanimous hate for the transformer movies.

they're fun and silly. and i thought the second one was funner and sillier. they are movies based on toys. the plot can't get higher concept--theirs robots, and they fight robots.

of course i never watched the cartoon or played with the toys, so i have no childhood to be raped by these extravaganzas.

I just can't help but feel, somewhere someone decided arbitrarily to hate these, and a snowball thing happened, and now it is cultural canon among the cool kids.

idleprimate, I don't dislike the Transformers movies out of some sense of nostalgia, or because they naughty-touched my childhood. I dislike them because they're terrible fucking movies.

And the reason I like Iron Man, The Dark Knight, etc., isn't just because they're superhero movies, but because they're good movies.

Transformers was technically impressive (although dizzyingly assembled, and that's not a compliment), but the writing, acting, and near everything else was goddamn atrocious.

Not quite Idle, It's a movie based on toys, based on a pretty fantastic animated series. But to be fair my hate for transformers has nothing to do with those terrible movies. It's based in a deep rooted loathing of everything Michael Bay chooses to squeeze from his explosion filled anus.

Also, it's too bad that Thor and Batman will never be in a movie together.

Actually...probably a good thing, because I don't think I could take that much excitement.

So, in my part of Spain I see posters for Rango all over the place. And they all prominently feature the name of Johnny Depp. But the Spanish also dub all of their movies, so there will be literally no Johnny Depp in the Spanish release of Rango But they're using his name to sell the movie to Spaniards. But Spaniards can only get excited about hearing the voice of the guy who usually dubs over Johnny Depp movies while they, this time, don't see Johnny Depp.

Advertising confuses me.

Super 8 was the most surprising because it didn't look how I expected it to. I was expecting a found footage handycam movie and it looked, yes, very much like vintage Spielberg. Pretty excited about that one. I hated Transformers 2 but I have to admit, part 3 has a kick ass trailer. Movie will probably be self important ass but I do have slight hope. Battle LA and Cowboys & Aliens both look fantastic. The superhero flicks look ok. I doubt I'll see any of those in the theater.

Where was Green Lantern?

Bad movie titles annoy the hell out of me, and we are in a golden age of bad movie titles.

Battle: Los Angeles is just a horrible title. They decided to make their big budget alien invasion movie sound like a second tier video game.

The Battle of Los Angeles

That's the title you were looking for, guys. Classic. Timeless. Iconic.

You tried to make it hip and you made it Epic: The Fail.
