Re: Super 8 (produced by JJ Abrams)
 

Snagged two preview passes from Gofobo.com last night, good for a screening on Tuesday night (7 June). Whether we'll be able to attend is anyone's guess (thank you, stupid guts), but I'm hopeful we can make it. This is my pick to be the sleeper hit of the summer, especially with a calendar dominated by sequels and comic book adaptations of well-known characters.

Sadly, we're not gonna make it to the free screening tonight. Between the 7:30 start time, the need to leave early to compete with others to redeem our passes for tickets and the fact it's not at a theater all that close to us, it's just too hard tonight with me feeling loopy and my wife needing to get up early tomorrow. We are, however, going to attempt to catch an earlier showing at a closer theater of another movie so the night won't be a complete loss as we both really wanted to get to this tonight. Maybe this weekend!

I read a review where they said this is more like Batteries Not Included than Goonies.

Re: Super 8 (produced by JJ Abrams)
 

I have to ask, has things really gone down the tubes that movies are being praised simply because it completely apes the better movies of two decades ago? Every review basically says how much it copies the older Spielberg films wholesale, and everyone's excited for that reason. I can't say I'm not the same way, I love those movies and I want to see this one for the same reasons as everyone else so I'm not condemning it at all. It just seemed odd to me that we're all excited for movie taking two steps back instead of forging ahead with something new.

I don't know, but I like the APs review:

Re: Super 8 (produced by JJ Abrams)
 

Beautiful. I'm sure not going to miss this flick.

Re: Super 8 (produced by JJ Abrams)
 

sounds like we need to stick around for after the credits folks.

Re: Super 8 (produced by JJ Abrams)
 

I'm going to go see this on Saturday, really excited. Will be the first movie I've seen in theaters in months. I'm glad Wright Tweeted that, otherwise I might've left.

Re: Super 8 (produced by JJ Abrams)
 

Anyone else find it a little funny that a collaboration between two big name movie producers / directors on a summer sci-fi flick only had a $45m budget to work with?

no major stars

Is that Drew Struzan poster? Looks like it.

Re: Super 8 (produced by JJ Abrams)
 

seems like it is..

EDIT: Yep, it is. Googled it and saw it confirmed.

Re: Super 8 (produced by JJ Abrams)
 

I'm sure Wright especially enjoyed the credits since it's apparently...

Re: Super 8 (produced by JJ Abrams)
 

It's actually not - Struzan inspired for sure.

Just spoke to Drew Struzan - that "Super 8" poster is definitely NOT his work and he had nothing to do with it.

I'd like to sneak in a Rocket Poppeteer. I went to 7-11 the other day and had one. Fucking tasty. Reminded me of my youth big time.
