Re: Official "Totally Awesome Movie Trailers" Thread
The Late William F. Buckley wrote the following shortly before he died:
You must have the narrative of what happened one day last week.
I was at work, with an assistant, on a long project, a book about the Goldwater campaign and the events leading up to it. At noon I had an e-mail from my oldest friend, a historian-belletrist, a knighted Englishman, whose message was that I must interrupt whatever I was wasting time on in order to catch a particular movie.
The title he gave me was The Lives of Others. My companion hadn’t heard of it either. Still, so urgent was my friend’s recommendation that we instructed Google to advise us where, within reasonable reach, we could find it.
We were given one theater 15 miles east of my study, at an odd hour of the evening. But west about the same distance was a matinee at 4:15. So we threw duty to the winds and arrived at the theater in Mamaroneck, New York, which like most modern theaters husbands five different movies, requiring you to specify which it is you are there to see.
We were ushered into a dark chamber entirely empty. The ticket seller told us that if we had arrived two minutes later, the theater would have been shut. “If there’s no one here, we don’t show the film.”
Two hours and twenty minutes later we came away. The house was still empty. I turned to my companion and said, “I think that is the best movie I ever saw.”
-- William F. Buckley, May 2007

With a record of 109-23 (.826) and six Big 12 championships in 10 seasons, Stoops has reason to be arrogant. But he is not. He is somewhere between humble and unimpressed.

Whoever came up with that idea is a genius. Hey, let's give away the plot right along with the beginning, the middle, and the ending of the movie all in one trailer!

Some others that may have not been mentioned which were good.
Adventureland
The Hurt Locker
Drag Me To Hell
Moon
Food Inc.
Zombieland
A Serious Man
Black Dynamite
Men Who Stare At Goats
Pirate Radio
Crazy Heart
A Single Man
Re: Official "Totally Awesome Movie Trailers" Thread
Moon was awesome.
A Serious Man was just plain incredible, buch like virtually everything the Coens have released.
Hurt Locker is a great movie, but has a ton of problems with accuracy as far as actual military procedures.
Men Who Stare at Goats is on my watch list, but I haven't seen it yet.
The rest on that list I either haven't seen or think suck.
I'd add, and not all are new...Some are just lesser known over the last 2-3 years:
W Delta Z
Whatever Works
The Man From Earth
The Maiden Heist
Staten Island
Anamorph
Antichrist
Harry Brown
Capers
5 Dollars a Day
Across the Hall
Fanboys
He Was a Quiet Man
Killshot
Lake Mungo
The Killing Room
Synecdoche, New York
Wristcutters: A Love Story
Before the Devil Knows You're Dead
Young People F*cking
The Chemical Wedding (AKA Crowley)
That's just a few off the top of my head, with a mind toward more variety and movies that are different and/or lesser known.
