Something I forgot to mention in my bitching about Watchmen: the trailers alone were almost worth the price of a ticket.

First up: Angels and Demons. This is the story that introduced the lead of The DaVinci Code and, according to my mother, is a superior story. I have to say, the trailer certainly makes it look awesome. Billy and I might have to check it out.

Second: Star Trek. Damn you, fancy trailers, constantly weakening my resolve against seeing this film. I'm still not expecting it to be an awesome Star Trek film, but my curiosity has definitely been piqued. I want to see how they work out this time travel thing (and if Kirk taking command of the Enterprise is really as ridiculous as it appears to be in this latest trailer)

Third: Wolverine. I'm such an X-Men fangirl, lol. I forgot this one was coming up when I posted about the Public Enemies trailer a few days ago, calling that the one film of the summer I was looking forward to. I'm also definitely looking forward to Wolverine.

Fourth: The aforementioned Public Enemies. It seemed a little out of place coming after the previous three action-packed trailers. Public Enemies is definitely going to have some bad ass action in it, but it's definitely of a different tenor than Star Trek, or even Angels and Demons.

Fifth: Observe and Report. This one was a lot out of place. What the hell is up with movies about mall cops this year? I can only imagine this one was placed with Watchmen because the target audience of Watchmen is young men, which perfectly coincides with Seth Rogen's fan base.
