Procrastination

Since there is nothing like finding any excuse to not do something, I found myself going over Apple to watch movie trailers this morning. There are some movies that I’m impatient to see and I want to see if there is a new video out, there are also movies I didn’t even know existed yet. There are also movies I despise but still want to indulge in some watching. 

First there is Star Trek, which looks really nice with a nice mix of explosions and geekspeak and a big nostalgic factor. And the special effects look real, which is usually a very difficult argument for me because I can spot a green screen with my eyes closed.

Then I was surprised to find a sequel for Night at the Museum. I loved watching the first one, I can sense I will love the second one. From the trailer it seems like there is a special exhibition so that the collection of the New York museum is going to Washington… so we keep the same adorable characters, add more and change the scenery. All good. Now if only they could write the date instead of “Memorial Day” which means nothing for anyone outside of the united-states… bah

But what really shocked me enough to warrant a post? I’m not even going to spoil the surprise. Click here damnit and come cry with me.  All I can say is that next, we’ll have a movie based on Les Cités d’Or. I can see it coming : out of this word 3D special effects, Zia will be played by Natalie Portman and it will bring on peace on earth through international nostalgic reactions of childhood comics. 

…oh yeah right, I said also there were some indulgence and shaming movies… Well I keep making fun of Street Fighter : the Legend of Chun Li but I swear I will go see it in theaters. It just looks THAT BAD.
