Holy. Shit.

Just wow. Wow.

The Hobbit trailer is out, and my mind is blown

^That is how I feel like celebrating right now. The first trailer for the first hobbit movie is out, and if I do say, in my expert opinion... It's incredible.



I am unbelievably happy that Peter Jackson ended up directing this movie, and this trailer is evidence why. I definitely feel that ultimately, middle earth needs to be in his hands. No one can bring it to life like he can.

This trailer brings me back to the original FotR trailer (speaking of which, happy 10th anniversary to that movie, as of yesterday). Every time I watched it (and like most in nerd culture, obsessive doesn't even begin to describe my love of it), I got a feeling that I can only describe as engrossing. Or tingly, and deeply confusing. Mostly just engrossing. This world and these characters I had been imagining were coming to life in a way even my vivid imagination couldn't fathom. It wasn't just a trailer, and it wasn't just a movie. It was an experience, that I was a part of. And seeing the trailer for The Hobbit: An unexpected journey makes me feel the exact same way.

Needless to say, I'm counting the days- hell, the minutes until it's release. And I'll definitely be at the midnight premiere. And I'll feel incredibly nostalgic for 10 years prior, and unbelievably happy that I'm experiencing that all over again.

Until next time, Namarie

Thor: Girly or kick ass?

So I was in a rather strong debate today about the casting of Thor in Marvels newest (and hopefully awesome-est) installment. Is he a little too pretty to be playing the god of thunder, or does he look badass in the role? I'm on the fence until I see the whole movie, but I think based on the trailer, he looks pretty great in the role... Every now and then he bats an eyelash and seems just a little too gorgeous. A guess a girls gotta have some eye candy, right?

Get a little wild

I have rather fond memories of Where the Wild Things are. They are slightly vague, but watching this trailer... well it gives me that wonderful feeling of melancholy nostalgia that only memories sustaining out of feeling more than image, can provide.

Sorry, I don't know what happened there. But anyways, check it out. Looks pretty good.

Two Awesome Trailers

So, just to be a bit of a tease, here are trailers for some awesome looking movies that I definitely can't wait for.

First off, we have G.I. Joe: The Rise of Cobra




It looks pretty sick- although slightly hollywood. But I've come to terms with that. It's rare for a movie based on something geeky, obscure or original to remain that way, but that's what it takes to market it to a wide audience. And hey, throw in some kick-ass explosions, and I can't complain.

So far, all I know about the movie is that our boys are fighting Destro, and the Baroness is looking hotter than ever. For the record, I'm completely unsure about the casting. We'll see... But basically I know nothing. And I like it that way.


Secondly, we have Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen
(Is it just me or are all titles starting to sound alike?)



The special effects, and transformations look good as ever. Again, I don't know much, nor do I want to. And no, I have not been freezing the trailer frame by frame, trying to figure out which bots they're reintroducing and which ones they've brought it... Yep, definitely haven't. I know no sploits.

As a rule, I've taken to trying to not discover too many sploits about movies I'm looking forward to, so unfortunately, I'm not going to be presenting you with too much movie news, but I encourage you to do the same. Let yourself be surprised in theaters. You just might like it.
