SNEAK PREVIEWS!
When I’m coked out and/or desperately needing to take a leak, do I want to sit through a three-hour snooze fest like Schindler’s List? No–I want a condensed sales pitch that only shows the best parts of upcoming movies! Hence this week’s focus on internet-available previews/trailers.
– Team America: World Police–(October) The latest from South Park creators Trey Parker and Matt Stone, Team America is reportedly as harsh on knee-jerk liberals as it is on Bush’s “War on Terror”É plus, it’s all done with marionettes!
