Re: Cool Trailers

It's been a few years since I read the book, but it struck me as rather allegorical.

At the end... Show
At the end it's not even clear that the tiger ever literally existed and is implied that the tiger was an aspect of himself. A manifestation of his will to live or something.
Honestly I didn't think it held together as an allegory as much as I wanted, but I'm sure English teachers have great fun analyzing it to pieces to their students' horror.

Anyway, the trailer wasn't what I was expecting either, but it's pretty. Apparently M. Night was attached to direct at some point, and I'll take Ang Lee over him any day.

Well, one might consider the Olympic opening ceremony to be a TV spot for Bond.

And, of course Jimmy will know this, but we're not going to get any other Olympic TV spots in the UK, due to the Olympics only being shown on a couple of dozen BBC channels.

(Not joking about the "couple of dozen", by the way.)

Re: Cool Trailers

I don't have Sky, so I haven't seen them but I heard there are a lot. You can watch everything online anyway or via the red button on Freeview...... And I'm doing neither.

And yeah, I never thought of the opening ceremony being an ad for Bond, good one big_smile

Re: Cool Trailers

The BBC have popped up 24 extra TV channels for the duration of the Olympics, so they are literally showing *all* the Olympics live, simultaneously.  If I were into sport, I'd probably find it amazing, although I would despair at all the extra PVRs I'd have to get to record everything. The production galleries must be pretty fearsome.

However, they're not all on Freeview (there isn't enough over-the-air bandwidth for 24 extra TV channels, so Freeview is only a couple of extra red button channels in the 30x range), but they are all on satellite, Freesat, cable and online.

I'm impressed with how many options the BBC have made available: I think everything is live in HD, much of it is in 3D, and some of it is in Super Hi-Vision (7,680 x 4,320 picture, 22.2 sound). It makes NBC's delayed, edited version look utterly pathetic by comparison.

Yeah, that is true. I didn't mean you could see everything on Freeview, hence the 'or' rather than an 'and'.  Nah, I just worded it wrong, thanks for the lesson, though. big_smile wink

The BBC has done good with their coverage, I have watched some online and it was pretty good.

Ever since I heard him first on This American Life I've allways had a soft spot for Mike Birbiglia.

Re: Cool Trailers

We've had "Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter" and "Abraham Lincoln vs Zombies".

Spielberg's film obviously should have been about Lincoln killing Werewolves!

A friend of mine co-wrote this. It's great. He needs to upload the entire thing at some point.

Re: Cool Trailers

Here's what the description says:

"In the world of bears, it is frowned upon to befriend a mouse. Yet, Ernest, a marginal big bear, a clown and musician, will welcome in his home little Célestine, an orphan mouse who ran away from the underground world of rodents. These two loners will support and comfort each other, and shake up the established order."

Looks great indeed, and sounds like a cute story.

Re: Cool Trailers

The Japanese version of the trailer is the only one with the final 15 seconds. Wonder why that is. That final image scares me a little. Is it just an homage, or are they actually doing Wrath of Khan?

Devil's Advocate: We don't know how long after the first film tis film takes place. It could be 3-5 years, I wouldn't call that "Just met."
