Special Edition: Trailers Galore

There should be an oscar for best trailer, because I rarely see entire> movies that are as good as these two minute segments, Simply put, Sarah and I have seen quite a few good ones we thought we would talk a little bit about them:



WHERE THE WILD THINGS ARE

Ari: I am on the verge of crying each time I watch this trailer. It's not particularly sad, and I don't know what it is, maybe the Acrade Fire song or the perfect editing or simply that this is one of the first books I ever read. I could not think of anyone more perfect than Spike Jones to take a ten sentence book and adapt it into a two hour epic. In short, I'm so fucking excited for this.



Sarah: HOE MY GAWD this trailer...Unlike Ari I was not on the verge of crying when I saw this trailer...because I actually did kind of cry.Well, it was only one tear, but it rolled down my cheek really slowlyand dramatically. I totally agree with everything Ari said...Greatediting, great music, great kid, great great great great great. I amsooooo excited theanticpation is killing me.



AWAY WE GO

Ari: I heard about this movie about a year ago and I remember thinking that it just sounded to good to be true -- Sam Mendes directing Dave> Eggers script about a thirtysomething couple (John Krasinski and Maya Rudolph) figuring out their next step in life. But alas, its real and I could not be more excited. I love every single person involved in this and early screenings are getting positive responses. Im a little worried about getting "Juno Syndrome" (i.e. setting expectations way too high), but I can't think of anything else that loks quite as perfectly a balance of> comedy and drama. I'm pretty pumped for this.



Sarah: Meh... I mean, ya Sam Mendes and Dave Eggers..wow... but I don't know I saw the trailer and I'm not that in to it. I feel like I've seen this story a million times, Garden State round two? But I'm sure it's going to be really feel good, and I will probably like it, but this trailer did not make me go insane for it.



What do you think?
