I don't know if you guys are excited or burnt out on the viral marketing surrounding 1-18-08 (I guess that's all you CAN do for a movie JJ Abrams wants secret) or Cloverfield or whatever it's going to be called, but over at slashfilm, they seem to think that a trailer will be put in front of Beowulf, since it's also a big Paramount movie before the release of Cloverfield in January.

Also, what are your thoughts on Beowulf? Katie, who is a huge nerd when it comes to Beowulf and Tolkien and all that, seems to think it's going to be pretty disappointing. I guess that Gaiman has done wrong before, but never in a bad way.
When I saw the trailer the other day, It wasn't so much that couldnt suspend disbelief when I noticed evidence of artificial graphics in between believable animation, so much that when I did notice the little glitches here and there, I had to keep reminding myself that it wasn't real. That's pretty powerful, in my opinion, and as a fan of Pixar's accomplishments, I have to say that I'm stoked for Beowulf in the least over its technical prowess...
Speaking of Pixar, have you guys heard about WALL-E? It's the new one coming out next year, and pretty interesting- It's like 2001: A Space Oddyssey in reverse. Instead of man overcoming his tools to become more human, it's more like the tools win because man has lost his humanity. Okay, so that's a horrible way to introduce the movie, but you should check it out on Apple/trailers when you get the chance.

I will see Beowulf because it's playing at an IMAX theater near me...so it will be awesome in some way or another.
