oh noes why do they do this shit while im in amsterdam?? as a tie-in to the upcoming simpsons movie release, they’ve converted a dozen or so 7-11’s around the country into the iconic kwik-e marts of the show. and theres one in new york city!!! fuckers! and not only were the 7-11’s made to look like kwik-e marts, but they also sell buzz cola, slushees, and krusty-o cereals. gah! you bastards!

so how longs it been since i posted about movies? a while eh? yar…too bad. heres a post to hearken back to the heady days when i posted like ten times a day…a new trailer! for pirates of the caribbean 3! yar! its one of the movies i have on my “to do” list for this year (the other ones should be like “dur” obvious). trailer looks hot, and i definitely dig the walk down fantasy the franchise took in the last movie. anyhoo…dig the new trailer.

wooha! finally…the new trailer for harry potter and the order of the phoenix, the first potter book that i actually read before seeing the movie. the trailers definitely an interesting angle…much more anchored in the modern “real” world than previous incarnations. the potter movies of the past always seemed to have a foot and a half in the doorstep of fantasy, even when they showed modern locales like kings cross or the dursleys home. so its kind of interesting to see this trailer actually begin with a flyby of the modern london cityscape, followed later in the trailer with them flying past big ben and parliament. word’em up.
oh right…its already tuesday and i didnt post about last week. ill get to that sometime…soon…like, later.

omg! simpsons trailer! (via aicn)
since posts have been overall dodgy of late, ive also found myself wondering what movies to look forward to now (which was of course a staple of this journal eh) since i used to post more movie news in the past. so i fig i might as well list some of the movies im currently looking forward to before they pool out the side of my ear as my shit memory is usually wont to do.
harry potter and the order of the phoenix | well dur…you know im a potter junky. its set to be released july of next year. so i suppose i have a bit of time. balls.
transformers | another duh. but this one ive at least been covering somewhat. its set for july of 2007 too. damnit.
300 | set for march next year, which is like 4 months less dick than the aforementioned movies. greeks vs. persians equal woot! and the trailer still rocks.
the fountain | heres a movie ive completely neglected (but doesnt mean i didnt know about it)…the aronofsky movie coming out in november (joy!). time travel and a floating bubble through space, word.
did i miss anything? damnit, is that it? fuck, hollywood sucks.
meant to post this when it first came out…one of the most badass movie trailers in a very long while. frank millers 300. its based off of frank millers graphic novel of the same name, which itself is about the battle of thermopylae, where 300 spartans and 700 thespians fought hundreds of thousands of persians.
ooh, this comes first. ive been reading up alot on the upcoming transformers movie, but havent really posted on it. whups. well whatever…you can probably google most of the old news at this point. time for new news! crispy new shots of optimus prime! no blurry pics, no weird sphincter-face, just optimus prime sweetness! woot! and i will wait for the movie to pass judgement. yes ive seen “megatron” and the other shots. styles different, and everythings more intricate, but it still boils down to big transforming robots on the big screen. give it a fucking chance yo!

righty-o. new transformers footage! kind of anyhoo…its a small featurette that was shown on access hollywood. theres no actual shot of a transformer in action, but there is a small portion of the feature where they showed animatics in action, with a brief glimpse of what the transformers would be like. rock! its just a small glimpse, but whatever…its mathematical. anything > 0. and zero sucks. show us more bizatches!

wow, so i havent really kept tabs on asian cinema in a while, so i headed over to my old stomping grounds at kfc cinema to check out the latest news. and wouldnt you know…one of the more recent news was on the us remake of my sassy girl! word. i hadnt heard much about it since i dont know when, but kfc apparently reports that theyre about to sign elisha cuthbert in the titular role. hmm…interesting, i can see that working. moreso than say…sandra bullock playing the role from il mare. hehe. anyhoo, im just happy to see an update, so word. heres to hoping it doesnt suck massive cocksack.
omg new tmnt trailer! not the pizza-eating shitheads…the original dark and moody turtles from the comics. word. cowabunga dude. jk.
