An anonymous reader notes that the
League of Extraordinary Gentleman Trailer is on apple.com. It's in quicktime. And since I'm downloading at under 3k a second, I'll let others comment on it. Here's hopin'
It's just a rather large typo.
I want to drag this out as long as possible. Bring me my protractor.
"whatsherface"?
Yes, I suppose he will be the star of the show, but for some of us, the opportunity to see Peta Wilson of La Femme Nikita all vamped out is definitely something to look forward to!
What?
Alternatively, maybe they're hoping to duplicate the out-of-control appeal of Dick Tracy.
No one is going to see this movie.
I might, some of my friends definitely will, and some other slashdotters, but this movie is going to bomb. I want to know how a group of people can make decisions which are, at the same time, totally driven by greed and, at the same time, so obviously directed towards utter commercial failure.
The good and new comes from no quarter where it is looked for, and is always something different from what is expected.
You have no business here!

complaining about a low download speed on slashdot is certainly the best way to improve it...

> What is with the sudden onslaught of superhero movies?
Yep, ever since Superman came out.
In 1978.
That's about the time special effects were making large leaps forward (no pun intended) and it was finally possible to make a realistic-looking flying man. The Superman tagline was "You'll believe a man can fly".
Now we are seeing the results of a new generation of low-cost, high-power computers, which make realistic effect cheaper and cheaper.
Superhero movies are a necessary result of Moore's Law.

Crappy Adventure Movie. Looked like Rambo.
Hollywood please meet plot, Plot; Hollywood.

Let me get this straight - your're dissatisfied with the speed at which you can download this thing, so what do you do? You LINK TO IT ON SLASHDOT? Do you understand CAUSE AND EFFECT???
I started watching this trailer with some interest, until about halfway through. Suddenly, a geriatric, slurring scotsman appeared on the screen and delivered a line which destroyed the moment. When is Sean Connery going to get some speech therapy (and maybe an acting lesson or two)?

Heh...some other movies that shouldn't be made besides Aliens vs. Predator (which COULD be a REALLY cool movie)...
Paul Atredies vs. Harry Seldon
Borg vs. Vorlons
Gremlins vs. The Littles
MIB vs. Illuminati
US vs. Iraq
Tech Support vs. the Vast Horde o'Clueless
Count Chocula vs. Lucky
The Thing vs. the Blob
IE vs. Opera (bork bork bork)
Cats and dogs living together...TOTAL CHAOS!

This will be impossible for the generation which follows us. I guess that means no blockbusters with Tom Clancy's characters turned loose to fight Mr. Bean on Jurassic park with Crockett and Tubbs.

If this film is a success, it could move us all one step closer to "Watchmen."
I think Pharmboy is totally correct in his assessment of "trying times," which closely parallells Adrian Veidt's thoughts near the 11th hour of Watchmen.
. . . and I know a pretty good actor who will work for scale if you'll let him be in the movie.
Didn't Jimmy Carter bring peace to the Middle East?
He says he did. They gave him a prize or something
for that, didn't they?
