OK, I've seen it twice and am pretty in love with it. It goes by too fast and doesn't really have a "money shot" but is pretty damn spiffy.

That said, it's not the be all, end all.

Everyone, please be aware it was only a teaser and not a bonafide trailer. It could have been better...true but it was certainly approriate.

It's not supposed to be glossy with glam appeal.

No.New Line didn't fucketh up. Viewers wanted to see more goodness but in this incase they just got teased with it. They are billions of different creatures in LOTR...people wanted to see at least a million NOW.

Maybe the next trailer.

I saw it this weekend as well. It didn't make me fear for the movie, but it didn't do much to increase my already fevered desire for the films. I will say that the one shot near the end where they are tramping over the mountain was nice, just because they way the characters look is dead on. Legolas, Aragorn, and the Hobbits are particularly well done.

Aragorn looked humongously badass even on the little iddy biddy screen I saw.

That scene was cool, but the landscape looked fake.

The money shot is the opening one with HORDES of orcs and God knows what else trampling over the countryside.

Just saw it via some geek named Fat Man who snuck his palmcorder into a showing opening night.

Not only did it fail to impress me or the audience in attendence, but all it truly did was reinforce everything I've said about not only films but New Line itself.

What they needed was a teaser that blew everyone's socks off with like Episode One or more to the point Sony's Godzilla or NL's own Lost In Space teasers which so amazed the audience I saw Men In Black with opening night with that the movie failed to measure up.

Instead we got a minute and change spot that told geeks what they already knew and jack and shit to us on the mainland. And what's worse is that this comes out in less then 12 months.

I stand by all I have or will every say on the subject. $50 million tops...

For it was written that a geek was to be born of such hella kewlness that they made a movie of his life starring Franco Nero ten years before his birth...

sqished = Past tense for the process known as stuffing humans into squids for the culinary delight simply known as Squid Ala Man.

Sqishers = The job that belongs to 600 pound multi appendaged alien species called Bollocks who are engineered to stuff humans into squids.

Sqis = Not to be confused with sqish, Sqis are people who blindly criticize something others love but get irrational if the same happens to something they love.

Just saw it on Axcess Hollywood like, 5 seconds ago, with no sound. I don't know why they play the TVs at work. I wasn't expecting it, it was just there, and a client hung up on me for ignoring them.

Heh.

I want peace on earth. Knowing that won't happen, I want peace on the boards. I am hereby declaring my self Empe... uh, Custodian of the Peace (You guys will, of course, insert a janitorial joke next.).

From here on, I place restraining orders on Black Crowe, General Zod, HAM, and LowShot. None of them may come into contact with each other, or within 300 yards. They will be allowed to continue to "cyber", but no more than 4 hours a week, with their mothers present.

CHUD is one. Now shake hands. How else we gonna get the chicks to dig us?

(PS: LowShot was included solely to make it a quartet. I picked the least angry guy I could think of to include for levity. Don't worry it aint funny.)

Ignore the next few lines that follow.
