Movie Trailer Fun

[corrinalaw]

So, I was watching TV with the eldest and youngest--it still happens, oddly enough--in this cast it was The Big Bang Theory.

But we didn't have it on the DVR so we had to watch the commercials.

First one was Gnomeo and Juliet. We all wanted to know how *that* concept got approved.

Did someone sit in a pitch meeting and say "Hey! Let's make Romeo

I was in the theater for...something and saw the Cowboys v.s. Aliens trailer. The problem is that it seems to think it is a serious movie. Which is clearly ridiculous. That is not a serious concept, and making a serious movie about it is nonsense.

Well, it's made by the same director who did the Iron Man movies. I suspect he can get real emotion into a similarly non-serious concept like this.

I'm glad I'm not the only one who thinks the gnome movie looks idiotic. And iirc it's in 3D, too. Wtf?

I have NO idea what people where thinking when they made this movie.

I'm looking forward to Cowboys & Aliens too. By the way, have you picked up the comics it's based on for the minions? If I like the movie I'll probably track down the TPB.

And I think Gnomeo and Juliet looks stupid too. I read an article on Yahoo that said Elton John is tied to it and has been trying to get it made for years.

Ah, it's a pet project of someone with some influence. Well, that does explain it a little better.

And, no, I haven't seen the comic. I don't live close enough to a local shop to browse, so I miss stuff. But now i need to go looking!
