This thread just reminded me. What's a good documentary for Scientology?

This Inside Look is actually pretty well done.

Ok. Based on that first look... moving the regular BS stuff that you'd get... I'd want to see this cuz that looks awesome. The trailer we got wasn't all that hot.

The trailer was fine. I really dug the horror beat in the morgue - that was fucking jarring.

I assumed that was why he woke up in the morgue.

So when they finally put all the monsters together in their 'Avengers' type movie, what will that even be? How can villains carry a 'Shared Universe'? Is the idea going to be that they are setting up a bunch of heroes in each of these films as well (hence the Cruise casting in this), so they can have a big crew versus crew thing?

The ROTS one is great. The Jingle Bell rock one is not.

Just can't take this movie seriously after the trailer without music. Also funny seeing Nick Miller in the trailer.

Tom Cruise is one of my favorite, most reliable, actors but it just seems so odd that he was cast in this. I mean, more power to Universal for landing him (and Crowe, for that matter) but this definitely seems like it should star a B or C list actor like Colin Farrell or Adrien Brody...maybe Vin Diesel.

i don't think i would call Farrell or especially Diesel B or C list. Brody hasn't done much after his Oscar, but i see where you're getting at...

Yeah, I was thinking more along the lines of some of the crappy Sci-Fi flicks Diesel has done in the past. I know with the fast and furious movies he's more A-list nowadays but he still knows how to pick a stinker outside that franchise.

Farrell and Brody are debatable as B-list, at best.

Music is a distraction otherwise it looks good. Popcorn flick.

Damn that was a long ass trailer why they have to make them so long? Otherwise it looks way better than the silly Brendan Fraser versions.
