A Pair of Trailers for The Lorax

By Joelgleo
A while back, we got a trailer for the upcoming movie, The Lorax based on the Dr. Seuss book. It looked a little something like this:



You know, rather cute, not a whole lot like The Lorax book that I really remember. After all most of the Dr. Seuss movies (Horton, and the live action Grinch and Cat in the Hat before it) have added rather lengthy subplots in order to take the short children's book and stretch it out into a full movie. It seems that this one is going to give some extra story to the kid (unnamed in the book) who comes to hear the Once-ler's tale. Then we get this second trailer.



Quite a bit darker at the beginning isn't it? But then again, The Lorax is something of a grim book. So the second trailer not only gets closer to the orignial feel of the book, it also focuses more on the story that the book has. So which trailer is better? Not for me to decide. Thats why I posted them both.

Other Note: It looks like the Ed Helms character (who looks just like the Zac Efron character) is going to be the Once-ler, which means we're going to see more of him that just two mysterious green arms.

Muppets for Best Song!

What with all the talk about the Oscar nominations getting announced today, one particular nomination has been overlooked. Namely the fact that even though the ENTIRE soundtrack was overlooked by the Golden Globes the Oscars at least did right by the best bunch of original songs this year and nominated Man or Muppet as on of the contenders for Best Original Song. Sure my pick would have been for Life's a Happy Song, but that's not what's important. What is important is that The Muppets got an Oscar Nomination! YAAAAAAAAAY

Day 5 of Halloween - The Fly (1958)

Jason:  First of all, I hope that everyone watched the right iteration of this film. The one with Vincent Price, not Jeff Goldblum.  Now that we’ve gotten that straight… This movie is considered to be a Halloween cult classic. It doesn’t have a whole lot in the way of scares or terror but it still remains a seasonal favorite. For the time, the make-up effects were decent. The way Andre’s fly head twitches and vibrates makes it look pretty convincing for a 1950’s puppet mask. The story, however, is what is so captivating. I have been reading a lot of Lovecraft stories lately and I couldn’t help but draw a comparison between them and this movie. The plot is very Lovecraftian. Let me explain: The main character is a highly intellectual recluse who spends most of his time in research. He stumbles across some natural secret that ultimately leads to his destruction. As he is trying to rectify his discovery, he slips farther and farther away from his humanity until he is completely m

Gossip Girl 2021 Review (based on one episode)

  It’s been nine years since the last time we’ve heard the famous “XOXO” sign off from Kristen Bell’s voice. Nine years since the high school soap opera full of lying, cheating, rumor filled friends to enemies and enemies to lovers saga has been seen. So it’s time to crank up the reboot machine and bring back Gossip Girl. What does a new Gossip Girl mean in the year 2021? How have things changed? How have they stayed the same? And does the arrival of a new generation of a show that feels as recent as Gossip Girl make anyone else feel this old?  This new version of Gossip Girl takes place in the same continuity as the first one, nine years after the ending of the last series. (Technically four years after the ending of the last series since the final scene is a five year time jump, but I get what they’re saying.) Now we have a new group of elite students going to Constance, with the main cast being made up of seven lifelong friends, with their leader being Julien, the It Girl, of the in
