Today my friend Kerrie gave me my birthday present. She had to have it shipped from America, so it took a bit longer. But it was SO WORTH THE WAIT OMGOSH. The reason I'm posting it on here is because its film related and its from one of my all time favourite films of ALL TIME (no worries I'll do a list of all those which fit the bill). But it's like a prized possession to me now and I love it.
(Btw I don't know if this is of any interest to you, but I actually wrote this in Notes, on my iPod, on a 2 1/2 hour train journey from Bournemouth Uni; so I had endless amount of time lol).
It feels like yonks since I've written something on my blog that would be of any interest to anybody that happens to stumble upon it. I apologise I've just been soooo busy with A2 work, charity appeals in school etcetera etcetera. I'll definitely aim to do a couple during the Christmas period though; something has to be done on cheesy Christmas films at least. Ooo and on the Snowman and the Snowdog :O. It better live up to my expectations.
But I've just come to talk (more like scream of excitement) about some of the new trailers that have been released for films coming out in 2013. Mattteeeee, talk about getting the audience hypeddddddddd and excited.
I'll begin with Iron Man 3. Yes metal man is back. Now the trailer oddly reminds me of The Dark Knight Rises trailer but I'm not actually sure why. Maybe it's because of the exploding planes and exploding buildings and slow motion clips that are in it. Or even the villain has a voice very similar, not the same, but VERRR similar to that of Bane. Or maybe I'm just still obsessed with TDKR I dunno. But h-anyways the trailer is really good. And explosive. There's so many enigma codes embedded in it that it makes it seem so much more 'darker'. It also being a 'sort- off follow up' from the Avengers just makes it seem that much better, which is always fun.
The trailer doesn't give THAT much away. I've read up on some stuff that would already be known if you read the comics, but I won't include it in this, as it may be spoilers for some people. What I gather from this, is that Tony seems to be at war with himself. He seems to be more obsessed than ever with the suits and maybe the fact is that he feels more comfortable when they are close by him (look at the scene when all the parts are by his bed). There seems to be a growth in the robots, some even looking 'bad' (sorry that was a poor choice of an adjective), and some even looking to operate by themselves without the need of someone to be in them (How?, how? how? Hmmm). The baddie in this is called the Mandarin and I therefore go no further. I don't wanna spoil it :). (I chuckle at the fact that this gets released in the UK (April 26th) before America (May 3rd). Ha. TDRK all over again).
Here's the trailer here if you haven't yet seen it:
Next up is Man of Steel. When I saw the FIRST trailer I nearly wet myself. I was in the cinema with my fab media teacher (she's awesome she loves films like me) on the very first day that Dark Knight Rises came out (coz you know we are die hard film fans) and the last trailer they showed before the film started was Man of Steel. But at this point I didn't know it was Superman. I recall my teacher going "Ooo what's this?", and you know we watched and watched until the end where the symbol (embed symbol) shows up. I was like :O. My teacher was like :OO. I was even more excited because Chrisptoher Nolan is the producer of it (If you didn't know already Christopher Nolan is in my top five directors/ producers of all time) and that just got me soooo geared up. The trailer is a good one; again with endless questions to be answered.
First of, I'm loving the soundtrack; very soothing yet with that 'mysterious' feel to it. I realised that it's the same one that they use in LODR (Lord Of The Rings). Anyway, you see 'Superman' by himself, left to his own devices, looking to be in search of finding out who he is as an individual. Then we later see him as a young boy making a cape for himself and we watch it blow in the wind a 'superhero' convention that we all know so well. Then as you do, the trailer ends on a sort of 'Oh maa gaddd' moment where we see Superman in full acceleration to the sky. This isn't the only teaser trailer that was released though; there was two, both the same, but narrated by different people. One by Russell Crowe who plays biological father Jor- El and Kevin Costner who plays Jonathan Kent, Superman's adoptive father. Here's the Russell Crowe version if you haven't already seen it:
To be perfectly honest, those are the two main ones I wanted to talk about. Because in 2013 when they come out, I'll be in the first batch of people eagerly sitting in the comfy cinema seats, with popcorn down my top and without any distractions from fellow companions that decide to tag along because I need to FOCUS (cue me trying to control the force and dodge bullets) on all the action that occurs. There's no room for chit chat lol. I have high expectations for Man of Steel as the previous Superman films have been, you know, ehhh.
