Translators are so much fun. I wanted a really good Japanese translation to “stick it up you’re a$$” in this week’s theme of Why I’ve Been Thinking About The Trailer For APPLESEED For The Past Seven Days and what I think of those who believe otherwise about the viability of animation in today’s thrill and chill landscape.

Some really great trailers broke this week and Spielberg’s TERMINAL was not one of them. What a disappointment. The man who gave MINORITY REPORT and CATCH ME IF YOU CAN to the world within six months of each other produced a big goose egg if the trailer is to be believed.

I’m issuing a Mea Culpa here: I am incredibly and unabashedly biased towards the new SPIDER-MAN 2 film. As you can see by the length of the review I felt a slight leaning towards the positive ends of things. I believe it has everything going for it and in these times of vapid and hollow summer blockbusters this may actually have something riveting enough to classify as a comic book movie with heart. But you can read all of that at the bottom of the page.

$39,167 is what SHAOLIN SOCCER made last week in its debut across America. Was it that bad? Was it so unwatchable that people chose weeks old offerings like DIRTY DANCING: HAVANA NIGHTS and SOMETHING’S GOTTA GIVE (which is out already on DVD) because it sucked so bad? No.

So, ShoWest was last week. For those that don’t know, ShoWest is a convention that features “a variety of studio sponsored events, informative seminars” and is, “a trade show filled with the latest and greatest innovations in motion picture technology.” It’s essentially way for your local mega multiplex owner to come see what’s new and improved in the world of the movie theater business. One of the nice things about this whole thing was that many new movie posters surfaced from the hallowed halls of the studio’s marketing department and it also gives a good look at what to expect this summer season.
