Just saw the trailer for the upcoming I, Robot movie, and it looks terrible. I don’t just mean that the trailer depicts a movie that seems to miss the essence of Asimov’s stories, although that’s also true. (A better trailer in that respect would have spent a little more time emphasizing how important the Laws of Robotics are, and how dramatic it is that a robot seems to have killed someone.) It’s also just chock full of really stupid and unfunny character bits, attempts at comedy that just fall flat. The movie’s clearly not a comedy, so why do they have to spend so much time telling us (badly) that Will Smith’s character is a funny guy?

The trailer for Van Helsing makes it look like it might be stupid, but it’ll deliver serious supernatural-butt-kicking bang for your moviegoing buck.

I just noticed your music...

Poor M. and J., subjecting themselves to the horror of consumer-grade-plushie Luna and bad-wig Sailor Moon...

And endless terrible CG and rubber monsters...

Much like the animated version, Live Action Sailor Moon is, despite the truly phenomenal cheesiness, oddly engrossing. And the acting (after the first few episodes) is surprisingly good.
