This is going to be the best film of 2010

Hopefully. But I think the intro and end of the trailer are fairly weak.

Or, someone has a different opinion to you.

I have a different opinion to you.

I don’t doubt that it will be great, but the trailer left me cold.

Based on that alone, I don’t know how excited I’d be. My (intense) optimism right now comes from Wright at the helm, the strength of the source material, and the overall choice of actors…rather than anything I actually saw in that trailer.

Still though, I can’t say I disagree with the title of this thread.

Then you have no soul. The calm intro is a deliberate decision so that the outlandish stuff stands out more. It?s a common trait for comedy trailers.

Either that or you have ADD and all that gentle talking didn?t sate your need to see whizzing colours all the time forever.

Oh, at last you’re talking to me. I knew we’d make it up.

It’s because it’s a common trait that I found the intro weak. I’m sure it’s to appeal to a wider audience but it comes across as just another wacky comedy when I think the ‘swerve’ could have gotten away with a bit more subtlety. Just a bit. Unless They’ve ditched that in the adaptation anyway. ;)

And the outro voice is just Rob Schneider trailers from South Park quality to my ear. AND it spoils the seven evil exes.

The best film of 2010? I dunno, this is the year that Kick-Ass, Four Lions and Inception come out…

I read the first volume of the comic earlier this week. (I’d actually only requested an inter-library loan of it, but they decided to buy it to add to their stock. Which was nice.) Really enjoyed it, and I hear the comic only gets better after that…

Also, remember this? In the same way that Shaun of the Dead was an expanded version of Spaced’s Resident Evil scene, maybe Scott Pilgrim’s fights could be seen as the logical conclusion of that scene’s use of videogame iconography? (The “KO!” is straight from Street Fighter Alpha 3!)

Can’t comment on the casting of Cera as I haven’t seen any of his other films. In fact I haven’t seen any of this recent batch of post-Juno movies (the likes of (500) Days of Summer) which cause people to derisively throw around terms like “quirky” and “hipster” and “Sonic Youth”… ;)

Erm, you might want to read more of the comics.

Saw Kick-Ass tonight. Great film. Definitely go to see it.

I like the look of it, it didn’t make me outwardly guffaw but it did produce a chuckle within my mind. I’ll definitely be seeing it.

New trailer!

Almost makes up for the news about Guillermo del Toro is stepping down as director of The Hobbit. :( Though he’ll still be working on the scripts for now, and presumably much of his influence on the production design will be retained by whoever takes over.

Dare I say it? The game looks even better than the film!

This is because American tastes are a bit shit. Everyone went to see a film with Dolph Lundgren in it.

I’d see both.

>Also, most people who wanted to see it in the US have seen it for free at previews.

Most people? Really?

Agreed though. It’ll be huge on DVD.

I think the highest praise I can give Toy Story 3, is that it’s better than Toy Story 2.

The bit where they all held hands…awww, fuck.

> And the moment when Andy finally lets go. WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!

That’s such an amazing moment because it’s raw, emotionally true, something every person can feel and relate to. Even if the rest of the film didn’t affect someone they’d have to be coooold not to at least well up in those final minutes.

Pixar really know how to get you right there… The opening 5-10 minutes of Up, for example, so beautiful and poignant, and most of it a montage without dialogue.

The balloon floating in to old Ellie’s bed…for me that is the single best moment in Up and maybe any Pixar film.

Kick-Ass was indeed a very good film, and I’ll fight many people to the death who say otherwise.

Inception was a fucking masterpiece. I’ve seen it twice in theaters (something I never do, unless it’s Wes Anderson…) and will gladly watch it many more times on DVD.

I expect I will, at the very least, very much enjoy Scott Pilgrim. I’ll know for sure this weekend.

I’d love to see Inception. I was hoping to go see it with my mate. However now that the special edition of Avatar is showing on Imax, I think she’s got her head set on that instead.

I’ve seen the original (she actually leant it to me on DVD) and although I largely liked it* I’m not all that fussed seeing a new version, especially as I understand the new footage adds little if anything to the story. I wouldn’t mind the full 3-D experience though, and if she wants to see it I certainly won’t complain.

But I’d rather see Inception. (Sure we can see both, but I have to be a bit careful with how much I spend at the moment.)

*I agree it’s largely overrated though. But it isn’t bad!

Cracking film, is that.

> a) He grabbed that pistol from his mate. A better gun too, and

Wasn’t the pistol all smashed up though?

Smeg4Brains wins.

Allow me to gripe that I’m not in the UK in October and I’ve never seen BttF in the cinemas. The BDs will have to suffice. Boo.

Ps. In Bruges is fantastic.

>Wasn’t the pistol all smashed up though?

That would explain it…. (Completely missed that. Obviously.)
