AWKWARD ZOMBIE

I just saw the trailer for Where the Wild Things Are and I have to say it looks exciting. Arcade Fire was a perfect choice for the music.

Anyone have movies they're excited to see? Tell me. Got a trailer you want to share? Do it. Have a rant about how Hollywood is ruining your childhood? Okay, but keep it short please.

Wanna see the new DBZ based movie coming out.
also Crank 2.

Zach will be excited. Maybe.

Insert Fail, thanks so much for redirecting everyone's attention from the hissy fit earlier.
Fail, you are not.

Zachy mentioned the WTWTA movie and at first, I was skeptical. But I have hope now. lol

Tim Burton has a new movie coming out called "9". Disney is FINALLY going back to their 2-D tradition of movies with their new animated film "The Frog Princess". I'm SO VERY excited for it. : DDDD

I've got a fondness for Pixar movies, so whatever they pump out next, I'll be excited for.

Oh crap I completely forgot about 9.

Man that's gonna be freaking awesome on a new level.

I try.

I've seen trailer for that movie! I'm pretty excited about it. I believe Tim Burton is the producer? And while I'm extraordinarily pop flyin' about Disney going back to 2-D animation, there's still stuff for me to be angry about.

I think it's a bit ridiculous. While I'm not sure the prince is supposed to be black, he certainly doesn't look white to me. Disney kind of has a stock look for princes and princesses, but Naveen has a broader nose than I've seen on any white prince; really, his overall facial bone structure is different. I think it's more offensive to insinuate that black people with lighter skin aren't "black enough". /rant

A lot of mothers have given backlash at Disney for this, especially black ones.
Personally, I don't think this shows something against black people at all. If you notice in Poctanosm, her love interest was with a white male and not the man her father wanted her to marry, Kocoum, who was also the same race as she was. John Smith was an overall good person, while Kocoum was a very serious and bitter like person. I think a good message from that it's more important to look at the person's personality and not their outside appearance or race. Colorblind Love.
Although you could get the idea that Disney was trying to show that White men are the better choice for women of any race. But, should it really be taken that seriously?
I like the idea of an interracial couple. It shows to children to just be colorblind when it comes to love. Disney has made much more white couples than colored ones, but this is still the right step in the right direction. Also, the prince doesn't even look entirely white. He has a slight Latin look to his facial features. Maybe Disney could darken him up a bit, but overall, I think they did a pretty ohk job.
There's a few controversial things to this film, but people are taking things a bit too far. Tiana's voice actress says herself to look past the color and look at the characters themselves.
If the prince is a total booty, then will I have something negative to say about this.

aliens vs monsters

:awesome:

Star Trek looks cool. I hate the cast, but the trailer had epic written all over it. Plus the Trekkie in me wants to see how it turns out.

I got so excited when I heard they were making a Where the Wild Things are movie. Seriously, cannot wait.
I've been looking forward to the 6th Harry Potter movie. Also looking forward to The Deathly Hallows, since they're splitting the movie into two parts. Awesome.
That, and the Avatar the Last Airbender movie should be cool.
With the movies listed above, I hope you all think I'm 9 years old.

This was also very exciting news for me. I miss the 90s.

Some mothers need to lighten up. My mother had me watch all kinds of animated films, and even if they scared me/scarred me for life (I'M LOOKIN' AT YOU, DUMBO), I look back on them fondly. They thrilled me! Except for Dumbo.

In the end, there's always controversy surrounding Disney films. Aladdin and Jasmine were said to not look Arabic enough, there's the one you mentioned regarding Poctanosm (which I find ridiculous because that aspect was actually true to the story and what kind of message would it send if they changed it?)... It's true that Disney has an overabundance of white couples - which is why I really champion films like Mulan and Poctanosm and The Hunchback of Notre Dame - and yes, Tiana's voice actress is right. Small steps, people!

I think he's one of those self-centered, pompous guys who learns his lesson from "The Power of Love, Omg". At least, that's what I've gathered from the teaser trailers.

You dont need cheddar, dont take fame
Dont need no credit card to ride this train
Its strong and its sudden and its cruel sometimes
But it might just save your life
Thats the power of love
Thats the power of love

First time you feel it, it might make you sad
Next time you feel it it might make you mad
But youll be glad baby when youve found
Thats the power makes the world go round

Initially, I was excited about this movie. Now... not so much. Although I'm not against a live-action adaptation, I think it wouldn't have as many problems as it does now if it were animated.

(This may be my dislike of M. Shyamalan speaking, but I like to pretend I'm being reasonable and unbiased.)

My friends force me to like Shyamalan.
What kind of problems? (Just curious.) The only qualm I have with the movie is the actors. I mean, I can understand having some white actors, but Sokka and Katara? Seriously? Not to mention Sokka's actor played Jasper in Twilight... guh.
