nothing to fear and nothing to doubt

intertribalI am hard on romantic comedies. I'm hard on character studies. I'm very, very hard on coming of age movies. And don't even get me started on musicals. Which means this little piece of hipster heaven is not for me.
I am not hard on space movies, post-apocalyptic (severely post-apocalyptic) movies, ghost movies, and monster movies (you may think I should just say horror movies, but there is one important exception: serial killer movies. Hannibal Lecter remains the only serial killer villain that I can even take seriously, much less be scared of, and most serial killer movies suck a lotta ass).
And I am very, very lenient with humorous monster movies.
Does this not look like it could be another Shaun of the Dead, except in New Zealand and involving sheep and thus totally awesome?!
Oh yeah, I'm also pretty nice to John Malkovich, in general. I mean, yes, he was blackmailed into doing Eragon, but I guess he's finally paid back the debt and is back to doing, well, John Malkovich movies.
Also, this poster is just freakin' awesome, as Carl would say in a Jersey accent.
On a more serious note, "On Screens Soon, Abused Earth Gets Its Revenge" shows what I've always known: that while I am intellectually ahead of the game, I will forever be behind, because I'm 19 and without connections to major studios. By the time I even finish writing Ilium, humanity-as-tormentor-of-nature will be old school. Fuck. Besides, the Japanese thought of this years ago! Oh well. It'll be interesting to see Transformers attempt to be environmental.
