The Trailer Some Have Been Waiting On

THE TWILIGHT SAGA: NEW MOON trailer in HD

Interesting that 2/3 of the trailer features the character who leaves for what is, according to the book, most of the film…

    I’d rather see the video of Bruno falling ass and balls in Eminem’s face…

    That morph into a wolf looks like CG technology from 13 years ago.

    Wow, this looks god-awful – one of the most poorly conceived trailers I have ever seen.
    But as for good trailers, have you seen the teaser for Toy Story 3? Wonderfully put together – I love how they incorporated all of the previous characters into it. I am very much there and will plan on bringing my four year old daughter (she’ll be five by then) as well.

    According to whatshisname, the script was rewritten from the book to incorporate his character more than the book did. Which is probably wise.
    I actually found the Toy Story teaser a bit cloying. But then I’m sure the movie will be fantastic, so it’s all good.

    I’m not sure where to post this link. But a thread about vampires seems appropriate. http://www.nytimes.com/aponline/2009/06/01/world/AP-ML-Egypt-Mutilation.html

    I liked the FX in the final shot of the trailer. Not photo real, but a fun bit of cheesy movie magic.

    Not this again?
    This is by far the most interesting thing that happened during the MTV Awards.

    Lexy… damn right. She rules. The many problem I have with this trailer is the LOOK OF THE FUCKING FILM. We go from a very atmospheric looking movie in Twilight, with all of it’s greys and blues, and now it’s gone away? I understand Mr. Golden Compass did not come up with that sort of production design or whatever, but it just seems odd to rip what consisted for atmosphere in that first film. RIGHT OUT OF THE FUCKING SECOND FILM! Good lord. Good fucking lord.

    (my ‘fuckin A’ was for the clip of bruno going bassackwards into marshall mathers’ face)

    Well here’s a big FUCK YOU AHOLE to the awesomeness of the New Moon trailer. Outside of the Mr. Golden Compass eliminating the great atmosphere created with all of those blues and greys in Twilight.
    Oh yeah… FUCK YOU AHOLE… the new insult for those who name themselves after a part of the body, and wants everyone else to act like this never happened.

    I AM GETTING “K-STEW” TATTOOED across my stomach tomorrow like TOMMY LEE (aka GOD) had MAYHEM tatted on his when he was in METHODS OF MAYHEM.
    GET NAKED = GOOD SONG YEP YEP.
    McDOUCHE and LOU FROM CADDYSHACK, let’s go get K-STEW tattooed on us tomorrow. It’ll be a fun gay date.

    LEXY: YOU HAVE THAT GAY DATE MAN! YOU HAVE IT! YOU GET THAT TATTOO! YOU GET IT TODAY!
    MAKE SURE YOU KNOCK OUT TY COBB LONG ENOUGH TO TATTOO “I’D SUCK YOUR COCK FOR TEN DOLLARS” ON THE BACK OF HIS HEAD! SURE! HE WILL NEVER EVER GET THE REFERENCE ON THE BACK OF HIS HEAD, BUT IT WILL BE THERE FOR LIFE! HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA!

    I actually agree with IHeart, for once — the blue/grey palette of Twilight was one of the things that actually worked well about it, and now it’s gone and Forks looks all golden and sunny like LA? WTF? Even Seattle doesn’t look golden like that except for a few weeks of summer. The special effect looks fine, and Taylor Lautner has realy buffed himself up, as promised, to play the older Jacob, which will make Team Jacob happy.
    Weitz and Summit know they need to knock it out of the park with New Moon; smart of them to rework the storyline a bit to have Edward in there more, since he’s gone for most of the book. I hope they significantly tightened it as well … Bella spends much of New Moon moping about after Edward leaves her, which is kinda boring.

    Zahn: Holy shit, that was disturbing. I made it through five minutes and it was just uncomfortable. Though now I can put a face to EVERY. SINGLE. WOMAN. who posts on Television Without Pity.
    Somebody get that chick a ShamWow.

    Lex, surely on your..five? Ten? viewings of Twilight you were sitting next to a couple of dozen people like this.
    Ironically, you are soulmates.

    Wow. Having really hated the first one, I am not expecting to like the second, but just – wow. That is a terrible, terrible trailer. K-Stew is very cute – props to Lex – but she seems nearly comatose through most of this (“Paper cut”) and the pace of it just drags and drags along. This, of course, is probably built-in for the screeching and squealing of teenage girls, much like a pause for laughs in a comedy.
    Funniest bits:
    1. The need to go out into the woods for all of their intimate conversations gets skewered by the Rasta Vampire as if this were a parody of the franchise.
    2. The cartoon werewolf looks about as convincing as the hyenas in EXORCIST: DOMINION. What is it about dogs/wolves/werewolves that CGI just cannot get right? The technology seems perpetually stuck in the Uncanny Valley.
    3. Gratuitous beefcake shots! I know that I shouldn’t expect continuity in a trailer, but the magically appearing shirt on the Wolf Boy is hilarious.
    And Captain Zahn – thank you so much for that. It’s refreshing to know that mouth-breathing flubbery fangirls are not an exclusive to the Uniuted States.

    “According to whatshisname, the script was rewritten from the book to incorporate his character more than the book did. Which is probably wise.”
    Unless it backfires, like the shoehorning of more John Connor into “Terminator: Salvation”, which didn’t have the pre-set structure of a popular book to contend with.

    The gratuitous beefcake was to show skeptic fans that the kid playing Jacob had pulled off the necessary bulking up, per the second book (I live with a fangirl).
    The trailer looked okay to me. And the reaction video is kind of charming, in a way. While I personally never react that way to anything, I hate to begrudge people their enthusiasms. As someone in the comments pointed out, plenty of sports freaks geek out like this all the time when they’re watching a game. It all looks ridiculous to someone who doesn’t share the feeling.

“Just got back from Dark Shadows at the Lincoln Square IMAX (102′ wide screen, over 50 sears per row). I loved almost every second of it. What a shock. I can see why people under 49 hate it, and it’s not just because of its ’60s TV roots–it’s a very traditional, classic-style horror film: leisurely-paced, character-driven, beautifully designed (mostly real sets, not CGI), music used as a humorous or ironic underline, not particularly violent (there’s more blood in the 1970 version), perfectly cast with superb actors, and of course a nice sense of humor to balance the horror. No jump scenes, no teens sliced to pieces by some mask-wearing non-entity, just good old-fashioned story-telling. It’s more like Hugo than Hostel, and not just because it shares cast members and underperformed. And as for the much-derided third act: the complaints are horseshit. Everything that takes place in the climax is logically built up to in what precedes it. Yes, the werewolf is a surprise, but it shouldn’t be given the family history and that character’s behavior, and the explanation is eminently reasonable. In an era where Bridesmaids is considered award-worthy writing, it’s no surprise that many people have forgotten what a well-made script can be like. So fuck all the haters. Dark Shadows lived up to my expectations (no small feat), and should be seen by everyone who still appreciates quality, grown-up, Old Hollywood-style filmmaking. Cadavra has spoken.”

‘This grooming and styling thing? It’s fucking poodles. Human poodles. I feel sorry for a poodle because he’s a dog. You know, a dog is a fucking great creature. They would do anything for you. And the poodle gets a haircut. No one asks if the poodle wants his hair cut like that. Do they? They just fucking cut his hair like that. And he just walks around. And everyone is like, “Why is that poodle so snarky?” Fuck you. Style, I think, is panache. Who are you? What did you do today? And what are you worth to me? What do you have to offer the world? How did you spend your time today on this planet? How are you spending your time every second? What are you doing now? Are you alive, or are you somnambulant? If you are somnambulant, then you are a fucking prick. Style is your ability to be awake. But who the fuck am I to judge? I’m starting to get really arrogant.”
