What happened to good humor?

Recommended Posts

Other "good" movie news:

Hitchhiker Guide to the Galaxy will be out in April.

Bad news: It is made by Touchstone which is owned by Disney and from the trailer I saw, it looks to be style more towards American slapstick humor instead of dry British (which is what made The Hitchhiker's Guide so great). [:/]

On the hand, the cast includes Alan Rickman, ohn Malcovich and Sam Rockwell, so it could be okay. The director appears to be a nobody who has worked on Da Ali G Show.

edit to add (from a FAQ on IMDB): "This film is being directed and produced largely by British people. One of the executive producers of the film, Robbie Stamp, was a close friend of Douglas Adams, and Adams's family have been closely involved with the production (his daughter will even have a cameo). There are, in other words, many eyes on this project with a personal interest in maintaining Adams's vision. "

Maybe it will be okay after all
Why yes, my license number is a palindrome. Thank you for noticing.

See The Incredibles.



I agree. I loved that movie. Definitely one for the collection.

Although, not on the same lines as "The Incredibles" but Constantine was VERY good.



In theatres March 11th:
Robots
My kids pointed it out to me, and i admit, it looks pretty good.

I hear that Wallace and Grommet are coming to the American Big Screen sometime this year. Feature length film



OMG, i love wallace & grommet.



When visiting London a few years back I just -had- to get some Wallace and Grommet souvenirs! At least a t-shirt and refrigerator magnet! :)
Can't wait for the movie! Hope they do a better flick than "Chicken Run". Sometimes shorts are better as shorts. It'll be interesting to see how they do this time. B|

'Cracking' news Lori.:)
Ooooooh lookee, a trailer thingie here...
http://www.ultimatedvd.org/en/trailers/Details.aspx?Trailer_Id=441515925
and some more info on this website...
http://www.wandg.com/ with, I'm guessing, the same featurette listed above.

I've been a big fan of Aardman for years, I got truned on to the whole thing by the original creature conforts, and the Hydro Electric adverts.:)
I thought Chicken Run was good, but as good as it could have been, it takes a couple of viewings to catch everything going on.

Some of the early stuff still slays me, if you've seen the short War Story, you'll know what I'm talking about.

I'm predicting a wash of Gromit avatars on the release of the new flick.:)

The bairn was chuckling away at a Grand Day Out at the weekend. His education is progessing just fine!B|
