"It's not even worth going if we miss the previews"

The title of this post refers to my response when people imply that missing the previews before a movie is not a big deal. The fact of the matter is that I live and die by the previews. More so now that I average about 2.5 trips to the movie theater per year and in spite of the fact that every movie trailer is now posted on YouTube. So when we saw Planet of the Apes with Meg and Trav this weekend, I was super jazzed when the theater showed not two, not three, but at least six previews before the movie started. And I about peed my pants when I saw this one:

Yes, Tim Riggins is officially starring in a movie. I can’t make any sense of what it’s supposed to be about, but the shirt is off and the southern accent is intact. Which is really all that matters.

And while we’re on the subject of movies, Hunger Games keeps looking better and better:



Happy Monday.

DUDE. Tim Riggins is starring in TWO movies. Oh yes. I am so with you on seeing this totally stupid movie that appears to make no sense. No problem for me. Check out this preview. Tim Riggins with Alexander Skarsgard? Done and done. Cannot wait. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qDMXkPfxjOc

Oh...I have some comments. Hunger Games --- Weeee!!! I'm so excited!

John Carter - I know a little bit about it. Like...I think it's a graphic novel, but most of all, we have some friends in our ward who (the husband) help with the production of it and (the wife) starred as an extra!! They've told us a lot about it and it sounds kind of interesting but weird. But interesting.

And I don't know who Tim Riggins is...I'll do some research now with the rest of my lunch hour.

I totally love the previews!! When we went to the midnight show of Harry Potter, they didn't show any, and I was totally bummed!!

Can I request that we see Hunger Games together?? I can't wait to see it!

I completely agree with you about the previews. They are an important part of the whole movie-viewing experience.

And Hunger Games can't come out soon enough.
