onwards to random bits of movie news floating around. its the summertime yo, and the “big blockbuster movies” of the summer have already started hitting the theaters. except oddly enough, besides azkaban, im not particularly looking forward to any of the big blockbusters. blockbusters…i never did like that word. its odd to think that a specific bomb used to demolish large tracts of land was somehow incorporated into movie terminology. or maybe they were referring to the term “blockbusting“, which is nicely defined as, “the practice of persuading white homeowners to sell quickly and usually at a loss by appealing to the fear that minority groups and especially black people will move into the neighborhood, causing property values to decline. the property is then resold at inflated prices.” hmm…
POLAR EXPRESS
there are two new trailers up today. the first one is for tom hanks polar express…which is visually similar to the trailer i posted back in november. or is it the same trailer? i dont really feel like re-downloading the…*checks web link*…well bugger me, they both link to the same address. ah well, i suppose theyre the same trailer then. as cinescape nicely points out, apple “quietly posted the new trailer for THE POLAR EXPRESS on their website…” right, seven months ago. wanks.
GARDEN STATE
ok, this second ones definitely new…the second trailer for zach braffs garden state. where the first garden state trailer floated along dialogue-less with the frou frou track “let go”, the second trailer features actual dialogue and thumps along with the postal service’s “such great heights.” word…so check out the quirky trailer.
