I've caved in and is going to see it tomorrow. I will mention your entry to my friend either when I see him later or after we go see it. I have no interest WHAT SO EVER! His theater or the one I go to doesn't have it in 3-d plus he can't see 3-d movies due to sight problems.

I don't know why I forgot about Robin Hood. That looks good and Ridley Scott usually delivers.

I liked Terminator Salvation okay. It wasn't nearly as bad as people were telling me it was and there were films which were much worse in '09.

I'm really looking forward to Robin Hood and Iron Man as well, didn't know there's a Ramona movie until just now (excitement!).

Also, Calibos wasn't actually a character in Greek mythology; he was made up particularly for Clash of the Titans (which I know only because I had a teacher that was really into myths and was STILL pissed about that in 2003).

The A-Team trailer appears to give away the entire plot AND all the surprises, all in one trailer.

I am not sure if the trailer editor was dumb or just afraid they had to throw it ALL out there to make sure people would want to see the film. But is so doing they spoiled the movie and now nobody needs to actually see it.

That's Hollywood 2010.

It's sounding like "Perseus! Monster Truck!!" really WAS a better approach to the Clash of the Titans story, goddammit.

Yeah, I liked the teaser for The A-Team much better. BTW, you seen the trailer for The Expendables? As one friend put it, "Action Porn." Look it up. LOL

Scott Pilgrim. I must have re-watched the trailer 30 times now. It plays up the video game influences, but I have faith in Edgar Wright to have the heart and indie/garage-rock influences too. But damn if what has been shown hasn't been stop on the comic's tone. They admit the movie diverges from the comic after volume 3 and the ending will be different. Last volume comes out in July.
