Hey folks, Harry here - I absolutely love this new WAR OF THE WORLDS trailer... you get one bottom part of a tripod kicking ass... more devastation... and the first glimpse of one of the aliens! Can't really make it out - but it looks cool. Now - as much as I love this trailer - I have a tech issue I'm spitting furious at. Ok - so for the longest time - QUICKTIME has been my absolute favorite format for the enjoyment of killer trailers. However... here's where I get pissed. MovieFone seems to like to artificially increase the "effective" NUMBERS of downloads of their QUICKTIME offerings by embedding into the trailer that if you play it once - you are required to redownload it to see it again. Now - if you direct download these MovieFone offerings - from the desktop - you have to RE-OPEN the file repeatedly to see it again, as opposed to just clicking on it once and playing it over and over again. I get it - it's about trackable impressions. BUT instead of making it a right ugly pain in the ass for everybody trying to view the damn things... instead - just build in a cookie or something that sends MovieFone a little tag - that it had been played. That way - the ever important TRACKING information can be culled, but isn't something that aggravates and pisses off people that do like to watch something over and over again. Ultimately it's about them getting what they need (or think they need) - while delivering to those they're trying to court the best and most convenient & courteous delivery. To Experience this great trailer, I recommend seeing REVENGE OF THE SITH and hopefully you'll see it before... but if not, here's this jacked up Quicktime version - Click Here For the Trailer!
Hey Guy's,
I'm writing to you from London England where I just got back from seeing Star Wars Episode 3 Revenge of the Sith, followed by a viewing of Episode IV A New Hope. Both totally rocked and link together better than I had hoped, a few things in EpIV even had new meaning which was totally unexpected.
Anyway, almost as exciting as the Feature itself was the new Trailer for War of the Worlds.
it starts off with Tom Cruise saying to Dakota Fanning to be still, don't move, in what looks like a basement,
Immediately following this is a well edited sequence filled to the brim with shots of destruction, including tripods in full view, although only briefly.
My friend informs me he saw a airplane involved in some kind of senario, sorry there was too much information for me to take in
I saw a ferry being flipped like the Titanic on it's side, with people falling into the water etc,
Explosions,
Freeway being flung (seen before),
Tom running from a exploding Tripod
Dakota Fanning hiding from an alien which you get to see briefly, it looks like the green male Jedi with Dreads but without the dreads and a slightly Dinosaur like quality to the top of the skull.
This trailer rocked, everybody in the cinema seemed out off breath by the end of it, it was that fricking intense. I'm now extremely hopeful that this is going to be one of the most entertaining movies of the year.
Not sure if this has been released State Side of the Pond yet which is why I thought i'd let you know, I also saw a new Chronicles of Narnia Trailer which was alot more epic and beautiful than I imagined or expected.
If you use this call me Bob.
