The one complaint I had with the Dark Knight was all the mumbling and grumbling that came out of Christian Bale when he spoke as the Batman. And now we have this great exchange.

This one goes out to all the kids in Broward and Palm Beach counties. Unless of course, classes are canceled because of Fay, in which case, keep on SunSentinel.com -- and not this blog -- for more info.

In the meantime, watch this and get inspired for the first day of school:

I'm really looking forward to the new James Bond movie, though I don't really understand what the movie title means. (And apparently the singer doesn't quite get it either)

Check it out, this parody pretty much sums up the new direction of the Bond series hilariously:

Yeah, the real one is supposed to be by Alicia Keys and Jack White. Dunno if it can top this theme, though.

I happened upon the trailer for the so-anticipated-it-was-on-the-cover-of-Entertainment-Weekly movie "Twilight," which is timely because the fourth and final book in the popular girl-and-her-vampire series comes out on Saturday.

I haven't read the books, but they've been touted as the Second Coming of Harry Potter. There seems to be just as much hype: "Breaking Dawn," the aforementioned final book, already is the best-selling book this month on Amazon.com, the author's web site (which I've linked to above) has a countdown to the book's release, while the MTV News features "Twilight Tuesdays" with updates about the movie.

Make sure to mark your calendars now -- the movie comes out Dec. 12.

The life of President George W. Bush, as interpreted by Oliver Stone. This trailer references a lot of what was listed in the script review found here. The trailer's definitely got me intrigued.

A couple of weeks ago, it was The Dark Knight. This week, Comic Con, the big comics convention in San Diego. It's set the Watch This Now fanboys a-twitter with glee.

So, as promised, here's my latest attempt at providing something for everyone who doesn't like clips of grainy "Lost" teasers and grown men dressed as superheroes: The official trailer for Brideshead Revisited. It has scandal. It has betrayal. It has passion. It has Emma Thompson.

Enjoy.

The first trailer for Pixar's next film "Up" debuted last week at Comic Con. You mind as well set aside money now to take the kids to it next year.

I think sometime last week, the Dark Knight took over our blog.

Yes, the Dark Knight is a huge pop culture event. It was definitely the biggest movie of the past weekend, and probably will be the biggest movie of the year. Someday, I will probably see it.

But every week, one of the comic book fanboys on this blog is posting some new trailer for some movie that I have no intention of seeing. Earlier today, Jon put up "Terminator 4."

So I'm doing a bit of counterprogramming. Every time one of the fanboys posts some sci-fi movie trailer, I'm going to post that movie trailer's polar opposite.

Today's entry: The official trailer for "The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants 2." Enjoy.

The movie isn't even out yet and the people behind Step Brothers are already releasing deleted scenes with Rob Riggle online. The movie comes out Friday, so that probably means more viral videos for us to enjoy with Will Ferrell and John C. Reilly. I predict some sort of musical number.

The Terminator franchise will get a reboot next summer with Christian Bale playing John Connor.

The trailer is solid, but not one of those spine-tingling ones like Dark Knight or Iron Man.

Something about the Dark Knight brings out the inner fanboy in people. Here's another redone trailer, this time completely in Legos (and some Play-Doh, I think. I also included the six-minute intro to the movie. (And here's our coverage on the latest Batman movie)

The first movie trailer for "Watchmen"- the greatest graphic novel of all-time- debuted last night with the midnight showings of "Dark Knight".

The trailer looks great. So far Zack Snyder hasn't disappointed as a director. I'm a big fan of his "Dawn of the Dead" remake and I thought "300" was a solid popcorn movie.

I've been waiting months to see "Dark Knight" based on its trailer. Now I have to wait months to see "Watchmen." When will the cycle of geekdom end?

My fellow WTN-ers are quite fond of bringing you the latest in comic book/action-adventure/sci-fi movie trailers, but I will bet you this new preview for High School Musical 3 will crush the Dark Knight trailer on YouTube.

In my book, there's two must-see comedies this summer, Pinapple Express and Tropic Thunder. A parody of all the angst that went into shooting Apocalypse Now, Thunder has a can't-miss premise and a can't-miss cast. Now, to carry the conceit further, they've done a mockumentary about the making of Thunder called "Rain of Madness." Fans will recall a great documentary on the makings of Apocalypse called "Hearts of Darkness":

Oh my gosh, the Steven Seagal Ultimate 90s Box Set just came out in Tokyo! I could buy it off of Japan Amazon, but who knows how long it'll take to get here. And what if it doesn't work on my region free Blu-Ray player. I mean, the chances are small, but why take the risk? Best to fly to Japan right now...

The first trailer came out last weekend for the big Hollywood remake of "The Day the Earth Stood Still."

Not completely sold on it. Who straps an alien to a lie detector test? Those things aren't even admissible in court.

The buzz on this is quite limited at the moment, The Dark Knight sucking all the oxygen out of the room. Has it been too long for an X-Files sequel?

I don't know, but the trailer has a great cast and it's been promised that it's not about the mind-numbing mythology that sank the show.

I assumed this was a parody when I saw the title. I mean, the Domino's Pizza Trailer? I expected to see somone dressed up as the Joker delivering a steaming pie to a group of young men watching the NBA Finals.

But no, it's a terrific trailer. At least one sneak reviewer has compared this sequel to The Godfather Part 2. I hope so. This is Heath Ledger's last performance. Let's hope it's a great one:

It's crass advertising, but very clever crass advertising. Hellboy is appearing in a series of short spoofs with NBC and Bravo personalities, including the Actors Studio's own James Lipton. (No, not Will Ferrell as James Lipton):

And check out these two with NBC's returning Chuck and American Gladiators:

Maybe it's just me, but if you're a Hollywood liberal icon who doubles as a goodwill ambassador for the United Nations, isn't it a bit incongruous to make a ton of money glorifying skilled mass murder?

I'm thinking of Angelina Jolie. And that's what went through my head when I saw this trailer for her big summer blockbuster, Wanted.

"Kill one, save a thousand--that's what we believe,'' she tells a colleague at one point. Well, wasn't that sort of the idea behind the war in Iraq?

Enough said. The film is the Hollywood debut of Timur Bekmambetov, whose well known among geeks for his Nightwatch and Daywatch series of Russian Sci-Fi. The film is basically every loser fanboy's dream: one day Angelina corners you in the supermarket and takes you out of your dreary cubicle existence:

What if the Incredible Hulk was 5'4" and cried easily?

This sketch is courtesy of Jimmy Kimmel Live. Mini-Hulk is played by Guillermo the Security Guard.

By the way, the Hulk is a solid popcorn movie, but what's the deal with the trailer? The first scene in the trailer- Bruce Banner talking to Doctor Samson- isn't in the movie.

This trailer confirms rumors that a certain character makes an appearance in the upcoming Hulk movie. Couple this scene with the after-credits scene in Iron Man, and you've got some pretty cool options for future movies. Check out the clip here before it gets yanked:

Even though entertainment journalists insist it's not true -- and really, who should know more about Angelina Jolie's pregnancy -- Brad Pitt says the much anticipated twins have not emerged yet.

But Entertainment Tonight is standing firm by its report earlier this week that Jolie had given birth to twin daughters in France, attributing the story to an unidentified person close to the actress who said they were in the delivery room. (Can you imagine how crowded that place was, what with the doctors, entertainment journalists, videographers and, oh yeah, the mother too?)

More importantly, Brad Pitt looks like he's got a classic on his hands: the new can't-miss Coen Brothers comedy, "Burn After Reading:"

We love a good celebrity fight, especially when the celebrities are Dirty Harry and Spike Lee. Two of the finest film directors working in American cinema, they're getting ready to throw down. Spike has been a longtime critic of the depictions of blacks in films, and he's criticized Clint several times over the years. At the Cannes film festival last month he told reporters:

“Clint Eastwood made two films about Iwo Jima that ran for more than four hours total, and there was not one Negro actor on the screen,” he said. “If you reporters had any balls you’d ask him why. There’s no way I know why he did that — that was his vision, not mine. But I know it was pointed out to him and that he could have changed it. It’s not like he didn’t know.”

Clint is fighting back, telling Lee to can it over accusations he didn't have a black man raising the flag on Iwo Jima.
Now, a young gossip columnist has been caught in the crossfire by alluding to Lee as "uppity."
So we thought we'd have a little throwdown of our own.
First Clint:

Now Spike:

So that movie where filmmakers inconvenienced my workspace for a week (for what probably amounts to 30 seconds of film) is coming out on Christmas. If you want to see a teaser trailer that probably kind of sums up the entire movie (Owen Wilson and Jennifer Aniston chase a dog), click below:
