Tell us more, man, tell us more!!!
more than any other time in history, mankind faces a crossroads. one path leads to despair and utter hopelessness. the other, to total extinction. let us pray we have the wisdom to choose correctly.

He's right, it's trying to sell a seemingly great movie with hilarious cliches.  I doubt he means to disrespect the actual FILM though, just the COMMERCIAL

yeah, keyword commercial.  a truly great trailer is something that can work as art even when detached from the promotion.

Eh, whatever.  I didn't really see anything wrong with it...I mean, I thought the photography was beautiful to say the least.  I'm very intrigued.

It really is a great movie. Here's my review.

can we agree that it pays a tribute to the enigma of kaspar hauser when it shows a field of wheats flowing and a variation of pachebelle canon in the background?

I watched this last night. It was really good.
Falling in love is the greatest joy in life. Followed closely by sneaking into a gated community late at night and firing a gun into the air.
