This is going to be so awesome. Have Ann and George Michael been reunited?

[squints]

That does look pretty righteous.

Edgar Wright may be my favorite director working today. This looks EXCELLENT. (Reminds me a lot of Speed Racer, which I really loved and really adapted that hysteric, rapid anime/cartoon feel well) Can't wait.

both this film and kickass were choreographed by Brad Allan - Jackie Chan's first white protege.  The little dude can move.  Here's his debut in a Jackie Chan instructional video:


and he went on to do some pretty cool stuff with Hellboy 2 and Peter Pan.

2003 Peter Pan is underrated.

I may have watched this trailer about 100 times. It captures the GN so great. Edgar Wright is one of the most exciting visual directors working today. I'm counting down the days.

so psyched for this flick. found this frame by frame video pretty cool.

There is a teeter totter effect with these movies. It could easily balance itself to be overkill or be the right mix of all the elements, but the pitch is going to have to be perfect to work for me.

You're not wrong, but I've got high hopes.

New Trailer

best thing about this movie is that it's proudly set in Toronto. i hope it breaks ground so you yanks can appreciate our country! not only that but i hope it begins a nice snowball of well made canadian films, because sadly the stereotype is often true, we make crap cinema (with obvious exceptions to this rule)

THEORIES

Everything I've seen of this film looks excellent so far, and sure, I'm a fan of the comic, but a lot of what the actors do with their faces and inflections is something that can't be expressed in static form. So Good.

I would like to hope they are all channeling Jessica Stevenson, Simon Pegg and Nick Frost, at least in that ^ regard.

Just finished reading the last book, which has a great ending, which is reportedly different in the movie.  My Senses say that this movie will tank BUT word-of-mouth will bring it to form.  It's got more push behind it than the need for a Speed Racer movie, but MANY people I know liked that film, just waaaaay after it was in theaters.

I HOPE it does not tank, yet fear that it will. Ah well, it seems well-liked by SOME masses at least.

So I saw this last week.

It's definitely hilarious and creative and I'll probably see it a few more times.  I really liked it.

That said, I was a tad disappointed.  I bought the hype and expected too much, I guess.
When something is this crazy and hyperactive (a lot like Speed Racer, which I LOVED), you lose some of the depth.  This was no exception.  Unlike Shaun or Hot Fuzz, the heart feels forced.

Still definitely worth seeing.  I laughed a lot and really enjoyed myself.

You must've seen this in NYC, because if you had seen it in Austin and didn't invite me, I wouldn't even be talking to you right now.
