The trailer for 21 is so totally money.

By Burbanked on Jan 23, 2008 in Movie Marketing 101, Movies, Newest, Trailers | 533 views |

I saw the 21 trailer in the theater before Cloverfield began, and I have to say I was pleasantly impressed.

This clip crams a lot in, but it does so at a fairly brisk pace and provides an intriguing look at the movie’s plot. It looks like the story turns dark at some point - a welcome development if it means that Spacey and Fishburne get to play characters of dramatic weight once again. By the time the Doors’ song kicks in, I’m sold. Here’s the official 21 site.

This is kinda weird because we do a lot of shooting in Vegas and last winter we were in Hard Rock for dinner and they had the entire casino a haze in smoke - I mean even smokier than usual. So anyway, I’m in the can and I’m doing my thing and I’m standing next to a grip and I comment on the size of his manhood and then I ask him what he’s shooting? He says a movie about MIT students counting cards.

So then I’m in the production van a few days ago in Phoenix (we were supposed to be shooting in Vegas) and I’m constantly bitching about not shooting in Vegas because I love to play cards and then I bring up that I wonder where that movie is with Lawrence Fishburne and Spacey about the MIT Students. And then here it is.

BTW, I’ve just signed up with Word Press. It won’t be long now before I am one of you… one of you… one of you.

Take a look at the First Snow trailer - and a look back at the good, the bad, and the slushy.

7.10.2008    Okay, now I’ll just admit that I’m trying to freshen up my sidebar a little. But this is a nifty piece of Batman-themed editing:

7.10.2008    Another clever Star Wars bit (see explanation below or here).

7.10.2008    Yeah I know this is very old, but Tom Hagen and Sonny Corleone and I recently finished up both Empire and Jedi, so this seemed relevant again.

The boys were quite amused. (2)

6.3.2008    Best. Toy. Ever? Having three boys and being something of a textbook case in stunted emotional development, it’s not at all rare for me to play with and even covet some of their cool toys. But this Indiana Jones Whip, recently gifted to Sonny Corleone at his fifth birthday party, is something spectacular indeed. Yes, it’s made of China-manufactured plastic and two-and-a-half-feet of polyester, but there’s a kind of sublime joy to swinging this thing and hearing a pretty realistic whaa-tshhhh! sound result. It’s damn satisfying, and it’s not something easily replicated because most people don’t have the real thing. Highly recommended. (3)
