The first movie that made me cry was Toy Story.  The most recent was Up.  Pixar knows how to get me.  (The Curious Case of Benjamin Button made me cry the most though, that was rough.)  I’m 100% sure that I will be crying during Toy Story 3.  The thought of Andy growing up and forgetting about his toys makes me sad now.  I’m a slightly nostalgic person, and losing ones innocence and childhood seems like the worst thing.

This is pretty much the same as the first trailer.  And I’m excited in the same half-hearted way.  I just miss Arrested Development so much that any movie with actors from the show gets me excited.

This trailer reveals a few more actors, Steve Buscemi, and Justin Long.  Neither of these actors interest me (I wonder if anyone gets excited about a Steve Buscemi movie, hmm).  They do give Zach Galifianakis more scenes, that’s always a good thing.  Mr Galifianakis makes me happy.  I love to see how far he came so quickly.

Ben Stiller rarely motivates me into seeing a movie.  Even though he is in my favorite movie (guess what that is) and he did quite good in Tropic Thunder, I still don’t feel the need to see any of the movies that he makes.  This is an exception.  He looks quite good in this movie, although he looks like he’s lost a huge amount of weight.

This movie was written and directed by Noah Baumbach, who is insisting that he is a good director.  He’s probably right, but it does seem quite forced sometimes.  He did write The Life Aquatic, and he had something to do with the Fantastic Mr. Fox.  He seems to excel at depicting lost 30 year olds (that seems to be a big theme in movie and TV these days).  Anywho, this is another movie with that same situation.

About two years ago Family Guy aired their hilarious Star Wars episode.  Despite that being the best Family Guy episode in recent history it took them a long time to finally release this one.  I’m sure this episode/movie will be just as good as the original, but surely it didn’t have to take this long.  And I hope they don’t wait this long for the Return of the Jedi parody.

I still have s light problem with the “casting”.  Cleveland should have been Lando.  Instead they made him Artoo, and they have Mort playing Lando.  And Joe should have been Artoo.  Mort jokes won’t make any sense coming out of Lando.  Besides that it looks good.

This teaser really misrepresents this movie, or at least the comic-book.  I’m not saying this is a bad teaser, but there’s no doubt that the movie will be significantly more gory and hard-core.

But on to the story.  This is based on a very, very new comic book series about a teenage kid who is bored and depressed (what a unique teenager) so he decides that he should become a superhero.  Things don’t go well, he get’s destroyed.  This comic doesn’t hold back, it may at times look like a comedy, but when people are getting beat-up or killed it doesn’t edit anything.  I hear that the movie does the same thing, and I hope that’s true.  But until we get a red-band trailer we’ll just have to hope.

Oh Tina Fey, how I love her character.  Likely she’s going to receive even more backlash for playing that same character again, but that’s her shtick.  I’m really looking forward to this movie.  It’ll be like Thursday night on NBC, except I’ll be paying money.  Honestly though, this movie does look very funny.  These two are hilarious and I look forward to watching them play off each other.  It looks like they have no chemistry, but I think that’s going to make everything a lot more fun.

And look at the rest of the cast.  (BTW, I’ve put the actors and actresses that I like in the tags section, that way I don’t have to mention them every time.)

I can’t explain this trailer, please don’t ask me to, I just want you to watch it.  Supposedly it’s a movie about a guy who remembers a road trip he took last year.  It’s not actually flashbacks of the trip it’s kinda just reenactments in his apartment using the souvenirs he picked up along the way.  It doesn’t really make sense but it looks hilarious.

Toy Story was a big part of my childhood.  I was raised on Disney movies, and I was 7 when the movie originally came out, pretty much the perfect age for a movie like this.  Anywho, we’re on to the third movie and this one looks like it’ll make me cry more than the other two.  I’ve always been extremely nostalgic, so a movie about leaving toys behind is terribly depressing for me.  Also personification of inanimate objects is a hobby of mine (also a sign of insanity), so this movie is right up my alley.

I don’t usually post TV-Spots on this blog, there are usually just too many, and if I start posting them I might never stop.  Plus they’re usually just shortened versions of the trailer.  Buuut, Where the Wild Things is going to be my favorite movie this year so I’ll make an exception.  Also there have been an extraordinary amount of TV-Spots for this movie.

And just for the fun of it I’m going to post the rest of the Where the Wild Things Posters.  Apparently a lot of people have used my blog to get posters, that’s fine with me (probably it isn’t fine with the other sites where I get the posters from.)

I would never have found this trailer if it weren’t for Twitch, my favorite indie movie blog.  They had a great interview with Tomm Moore the director of this film.  (It’s worth checking out Twitch just to see all their awesome banners.)

This is a ridiculously good looking cartoon from Ireland.  It’s distributed by Beuna Vista International, I don’t really know if that’s Disney or not, but that’s nothing but a stamp of approval and a budget so it hardly matters.  I can’t find a lot of information about the movie, there is a lot of ambiguity.  It’s sometimes called Brendan and the Secret of the Kell, and I have no idea when it’s coming to North America, or if it already did.

I shouldn’t actually say this because it’s sure to jinx it, but wouldn’t it be great if this movie was nominated for the animated Oscar.  It’s better than Monsters Vs. Aliens getting nominated.

Anywho, click the poster to watch the trailer.
