“I’m disappointed that I wasn’t able to convince the people that it was in their own interest to modify the way in which the business ran, so as to be profitable. I [attempted] to create at The Tribune the same kind of collegial environment that’s been so successful in everything else we’ve done. But it takes two to tango. In my experience, newspaper people are at least as greedy as anybody else and any perception to the contrary is perpetuated by the media itself.”
~ What Sam Zell Believes About His Tenure With The Tribune Company
“I was never let down by the hot dogs, bought from Chicago’s irreplaceable Vienna Beef, which were split down the middle, griddled and laid in a toasted potato bun with or without the classic Chicago garnishes. Better yet is the Bird Dog, a smoked chicken and apple bratwurst from Usinger’s of Milwaukee How the burger could change lives I never divined, but on occasion it was magnificent, as beefy and flavorful as the outer quarter-inch of a Peter Luger porterhouse. More often, though, the meat was cooked to the color of wet newsprint, inside and out, and salted so meekly that eating it was as satisfying as hearing a friend talk about a burger his cousin ate.”

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.
LOOK… AT… HER!!!!!
FIVE MILLION STARS for this trailer. K-STEW is PURE MOVIE MAGIC and thus begins another YEAR OF HYPE. 125 MIL OPENING WEEKEND. GUARANTEED.
LOOK AT HER. ARE YOU LOOKING? Oh, my GOD.
K-STEW 4 EVER.
Robert Pattinson = Luckiest Bastard on Planet Earth.
CATCH THAT KID!
K-STEW. WONDER WOMAN.
MAKE. IT. HAPPEN.
Not this again?
This is by far the most interesting thing that happened during the MTV Awards.

like hudson says: fuckin A!
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.
i’d pay money to see that
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!
TY COBB = AWESOME running gag, best since Smoke Monster.
Lex…no.
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.
The reaction everyone’s been waiting for…
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.
I am so glad my caps lock never gets stuck.
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.
