This week's clip, after I missed last week completely, is a brand new trailer for Pixar's Wall-E, coming in June.
Since it is about time to bring some of my former weekly posts back into practice it stands to reason that the easiest to do so with would be Clip of the Week. Next I plan to finally restart the Why I Love Seattle Posts, but baby steps is the name of the game.
Today's clip is a response to the horrible and tragic news of Heath Ledger's passing. Another rising talent cut short, and most tragic is the young daughter he leaves behind. Perhaps it is because he is so close in age to myself and my peers, but of all the deaths that happen to celebrities from time to time this was by far the one that led to the most texts, G-Chat messages, phone calls, etc., from friends and family to see if I'd heard the news.
So, since Heath is part of the upcoming movie this year that I anticipate as much as any other in recent memory, this week's clip is the trailer for that, although as my friend Ryan pointed out to me, it will certainly be less enjoyable now in light of these events. This trailer in no way intends to make light of Ledger's death, but simply honors what will turn out to be his final role as it seems he brought a brilliant performance to the role of The Joker.
Well, it is Wednesday in New York, so I am going to go ahead and do this week's clip of the week now. I'm not sure I'll be able to break the packing momentum tomorrow to get the post in, and since I already knew what I wanted to do I figured I'd just do it now.
So, here you go, in honor of Hot Fuzz, I offer you what will hopefully be the next installment of genius:
Enjoy!
Our trip to the city last night was a roaring success, and I do mean ROARING. My mom and Lori (a friend of the family) took Emily and I to see Phantom of the Opera as our Christmas present. I'd never seen Phantom before, and let me tell you, it was amazing. I had seen the movie adaptation of the musical, but it didn't really prepare me for what was in store for us. Les Miz is, and always will be, my favorite show, but Phantom slid quite easily into 2nd. Even the stage was remarkable, as those of you who've been are well aware.
As a bonus, while we were eating dinner I got to see the new trailer for Transformers. For any guy who had a relationship with Transformers like I did as a child (or any girl who avoided the temptation of My Little Pony long enough to take in that Optimus Prime goodness), July 4th will be a splendid day indeed. For anyone who wishes, here is a link to the new trailer, not to be confused with the original announcement trailer: just let the main page load and click to slide the menu on the planet around till you get to 'trailers', then you click on the 'teaser trailer.' Enjoy!!
If Vince Vaughn is involved, I'll be there. Here's his new trailer (with Paul Giamatti as a lovely bonus).
