Teaser Trailer for 'Cars'; Info on 'Polar Express'
Michael Wyszomierski writes "The teaser trailer for the final Disney/Pixar film, Cars, is now available on Apple's Movie Trailers page. The film will open in theaters on November 4, 2005." And reader BoredStiff writes "The movie Polar Express will open Wednesday and could create a film genre somewhere between animation and live action. Made almost exclusively with a method called performance capture, which drops digitized human actors into a computer-animated world. The technique has been used in some video games and, to a limited extent, in earlier movies. Warner Bros. says The Polar Express is the first feature made solely with the process."
You sir, have a point!

...is it a good movie?
The Fiat Cinquecento is waving the checkered flag. That by itself rocks!
In the book, Santa shoots first. Revisionist bastards!
And on bittorrent November 5th.
I was looking at the two things in the article, and then I saw .. SuperBabies.

Oh, man, that movie is going to SUCK.
I mean, the thing is only going to appeal to pregnant women and George W Bush supporters

Sometimes I doubt your commitment to Sparkle Motion.
The train is always going backwards forward backwards forward backwards forward. And why is it that EVERY character seems to be waving a candy cane in your face for no apparent reason? I'd rather watch Dr. Tongue.
Gollum wasn't human. He was a disgusting, piggish little shit. By the end of the third movie, there was nothing I wanted to see more than Gollum loaded into a catapult and fired off the end of that tall castle in the third movie.
As a matter of fact, if the DVD had included that scene with multiple camera angles, closeups and slow motion, I would have paid double.
I just showed the trailer to my 18 month old. Anyone know how to loop it :-)
Si vis pacem, para bellum! For evil to succeed good men need only do nothing!
I watched the trailer for "cars", and have to say that the pickup-truck character is an unpatriotic and disrespectful caricature of our President.
That stupid hopping lamp gets more of an emotional response than the Polar Express characters. The Polar Express could derail, plummet off a cliff, burst into flames, and kill everyone aboard and the only thought in your mind would be "damn that looked cool!"
I'm going to go back in my box and will think within the limits of my box: MS Sucks Linux Good I read too much Slashdot.
Taxi Driver isn't a very exciting title either, is it?
You think that's bad? What about The Godfather? Come on, a movie about some old guy you barely know that sends you bizarre Christmas presents? Please. At least Showgirls sounds exciting.
R: That voice. Where have I heard that voice before? B: In about 365 other episodes. But I don't know who it is either.
Favorite US Historical Figures:
Sorry, man. I saw your sig after that comment and putting it together with Disney's notable rewriting of any historical tale, just got this really creepy image of Abe Lincoln as a princess in the next Disney movie. Yeah. It's high concept. Poor little pioneer girl, grows up to be a lawyer, puts on a fake beard and becomes President... We're talking mega-box office boffo here, babe!
That is all.
