Movie Trailers to Keep You Busy For a While
Erg. So the new hi-res Star Trek trailer is theoretically available at StarTrekMovie.com, but I don’t know for sure since it doesn’t seem to be loading for me, which is either my problem or the problem of hundreds of thousands of nerds all trying to watch the trailer at the same time as me. So watch the new Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince trailer instead?it really looks stupid good, and then maybe I’ll have Trek for you to watch.
What? You’re done already? Dammit! Okay…here’s the teaser for Race to Witch Mountain, based on the creepy ’70s Disney flick, although this one stars The Rock as an incredibly dim-witted cab driver, and looks terrible (admittedly, I never liked the original movie, because I think if you have a movie called Witch Mountain, it should have witches in it, not aliens). If you get done with that…I don’t know. Go take a walk. Do some work or something. I’ll have Trek as soon as i can.
