… aired last night during the O.C. (what the!?). I missed it as I was in a free Final Cut Express workshop at the Apple Store (the many more Iuvales I could have won if I had had those toys back in the days – extra points to those that comment on what I’m talking about).

But Nathan Berdowsky gracefully Tivo’ed it and reencoded as MPEG4. It’s a small 10 MB file (I got the large high quality 50 MB DiVX version off BitTorrent too).

UPDATE (3/12/2005): A much higher quality 30 MB MPEG4 version of the trailer has been posted.
UPDATE (3/14/2005): The trailer is now available (and much nicer looking) in starwars.com. Click here.

The Fantastic Four trailer has been posted on Apple’s Quicktime Trailers website.

I think Ben Grimm looks like he’s made of rubber instead of rock (after all he probably is made of rubber). And Doctor Doom does not even appear to be King and Evil Ruler of Latveria! What the hell were they thinking! Shit it looks like they’re going to ruin this one.

As long as they don’t screw Superman up.

I finally saw Team America: World Police last night.

Here are my thoughts (not that anyone cares):

Very funny, but not as funny as Napoleon Dynamite

Best Scene: The Cairo Tavern (if you get it, you are an ignorant moron – or you have a life, one of the two). Sorry Puppet Sex scene.

Best Puppet: Kim Jong II

Funniest dialog: Backstage with the cast of Cats

All in all, a well spent $8. I recommend it.

It’s been a while since I posted something about Star Wars…
Today, the title for the next Star Wars movie was announced during Comic-Con International in San Diego, California:

Sounds good to me…

Yes, yes… Spider-Man 2 opened las Wednesday. So I went to see it at 12:01. Damn those west coast people! They started seeing before I did!
The movie is really great, and the special effects are awesome. Specially Doctor Octopus (the mechanical arms and the fake pectorals). Can’t wait for Spider-Man 3!

Yesterday I say this movie called Fahrenheit 9/11.

Of course, like every other respectable news outlet in the world, I must write about it.
Well, the theater was PACKED. There was a long long line outside the theater. I almost expected to see people dressed as jawas or wookiees. I mean, it was ridiculous (I didn’t get in line thanks to Yossy, but I will not elaborate on that).

The movie is good. It entertains, it shows lots of things many people don’t know (and should! this is their President), it’s even funny at times. It’s not very hard to make a movie that makes George Bush look bad, with the Florida fiasco, the Spetember 11 attacks, the invasion of Iraq and the missing Weapons of mass destruction (Google search) (very funny please follow links).
There are however very strong scenes of death and injured people in Iraq, which makes me very surprised Michael Moore whined to get the R rating lowered. It absolutely deserved the R rating.

And, of course, the whole movie is a shameless self-promoting act by the director/writer/producer. Which is a little unusual for a documentary. Starting with the movie poster, the “interviews” in which Moore keeps putting words in other people’s mouths (like in that other movie) and the ridiculous stunts, Michael Moore tries to present himself as some sort of smart-ass and self-righteous superhero during the whole film. I was not impressed.

Overall, the movie does raise some important issues and I recommend watching it. Not worth getting in line for, though.

Will it influence the outcome of the elections? I doubt it. Those that will go to see it, aren’t voting for Bush anyway. Those that are voting for Bush, won’t see it. Those who are undecided…. hmmm…
