(Mostly) Science Fiction Movie Trailers

[tom_hobbes]

I hope I'm excluding stuff we've already posted extensively about, excluding <i>Scanner Darkly</i> since there was no trailer available when last discussed.<br /><br />Included is anything with a remote interest for genre fans. More to follow.<br /><br />And I can't begin to describe how weird it is to hear the standard BS Hollywood voice-over for Wallace And Gromit!<br /><br />http://www.apple.com/trailers/sony/2046.html<br /><br />http://www.apple.com/trailers/warner_independent_pictures/a_scanner_darkly.html<br /><br />http://www.apple.com/trailers/disney/thechroniclesofnarnia-fte2.html<br /><br />http://www.apple.com/trailers/disney/thechroniclesofnarnia/<br /><br />http://www.apple.com/trailers/sony_pictures/da_vinci_code/large.html<br /><br />http://www.apple.com/trailers/fox_searchlight/night_watch/<br /><br />http://www.apple.com/trailers/dreamworks/wallace_and_gromit/<br /><br />http://www.themoviebox.net/movies/2004/DEFGH/Five-Children-and-It/trailer-page.html<br /><br />http://www.apple.com/trailers/wb/charliechocolatefactory/<br /><br />I'm intrigued by this thriller, has an interest for pretty much everyone here I think...<br /><br /></safety_wrapper <div class="Discussion_UserSignature"> <p><font size="2" color="#339966"> I wish I could remember<br /> But my selective memory<br /> Won't let me</font><font size="2" color="#99cc00"> </font><font size="3" color="#339966"><font size="2">- </font></font><font size="1" color="#339966">Mark Oliver Everett</font></p><p> </p> </div>

I love the look of the Charlie and the Chocolate factory, Johnny Depp looks brillent.<br /><br />I actually saw Gene Wilder at a book signing in Oxford about a month ago, I didn't cue up and met him though (Didn't want his book) <div class="Discussion_UserSignature"> <font color="#800080">"All God does is watch us and kill us when we get boring.

I'm looking forward to The New World. I really enjoyed The Thin Red Line by the same director. Thanks for the links Hobbes! Chronicles of Narnia? I'm waiting for part three in the Chronicles of Riddick series!<br /><br />( BTW Flynn, yes, Depp looks to be right on target as Wonka )

Indeed, although Malick in <i>Thin Red Line</i> puts one foot ever so slightly wrong it is an otherwise perfect film. That was the few moments of sentimentality which unaccountably marred the sections 'back home.' A good friend of mine whose opinion I respect disagrees with me on this film and only refers to it as <i>The Long Long Lonnnnng Red Line</i>. <img src="/images/icons/smile.gif" /><br /><br />Not forgetting <i>Badlands</i> and <i>Days Of Heaven.</i><br /> <div class="Discussion_UserSignature"> <p><font size="2" color="#339966"> I wish I could remember<br /> But my selective memory<br /> Won't let me</font><font size="2" color="#99cc00"> </font><font size="3" color="#339966"><font size="2">- </font></font><font size="1" color="#339966">Mark Oliver Everett</font></p><p> </p> </div>

<i>That was the few moments of sentimentality which unaccountably marred the sections 'back home.'</i><br /><br />If I remember correctly, the scenes were memories of home of the character played by 'Jesus' <img src="/images/icons/wink.gif" />, so that would explain their sentimentality, although I thought they were more dreamlike, than sentimental.

Mostly the images of the woman on the swing. What the hell was that about? It's a few years since I saw it but that lodged in my memory as hugely detracting to the emotional truth of the thing. It just didn't ring true at all, whether memories or not. <div class="Discussion_UserSignature"> <p><font size="2" color="#339966"> I wish I could remember<br /> But my selective memory<br /> Won't let me</font><font size="2" color="#99cc00"> </font><font size="3" color="#339966"><font size="2">- </font></font><font size="1" color="#339966">Mark Oliver Everett</font></p><p> </p> </div>

Well, it didn't bother me at all.

Some of those movies look pretty cool. I can't imagine someone better than Tim Burton to direct Charlie and the Chocolate Factory. The Red Eye movie looks interesting also Night Watch (can you tell that I like horror movies <img src="/images/icons/wink.gif" /> ). 2046, I saw In The Mood For Love from the same director, pretty good although slow, I think we can expect something better now.<br /><br />Rhodan<br /><br />I agree, The Thin Red Line is a beautiful movie. The photography and the music is incredible. Really nicely done.
