What? There’s a new, pretty good trailer for the Battle: Los Angeles movie, and I’ve already used up my thoughts on the movie. I talked about how aliens can have L.A., I mentioned that it was cool that it’s a hardcore military versus aliens story, unlike so many other alien invasion flicks. About all I have to say on this trailer is that the French Horn noise they use is no BRAAAAAHM.
