Super 8 - JJ Abraham and Steven Spielberg collabo

[nekromantik]

OMG!!!
did anyone hear the news about the new super secret JJ Abraham and Speilberg movie Super 8??? At first it was said it was a Cloverfiled prequel but then that got dismissed and now its said to be a whole different movie that plays homage to the old Amblin movies from 70s and 80s.

Find the teaser trailer below:

With those first few shots,I thought it was Close Encounters Of The Third Kind.

I wonder if it bears any resemblance to Night Skies, the scary-aliens script John Sayles wrote for Spielberg in the early-80s (only to be junked in favour of E.T.).

Well, let's hope it's a hell of a lot better than anything either of them have made in the last couple of decades!

Not two names I am pleased to see together, I must admit!

I love abrahams.
Love Lost and Star Trek movie was cool.

Am well excited. Its kinda related to Cloverfield as both feature alien monsters.

Didn't JJ say that the Cloverfield monster wasn't an alien? Some people were already dismissing Super 8 as related to it becuase the monster in this one is an alien. I could be wrong of course.

Cloverfield was just awful. A truly bad effort in everyway. Hated it.

I thought it was very entertaining and it was well done for a low budget movie.
Of course it was far from a "good movie" so to speak but just like Transformers and Roland Emmerich films, its sometimes good to chill out to a "popcorn flick" and let ur your brain rest. As I never go into these movies expecting a Oscar worthy script/story and good acting etc. I go in to be entertained and have fun, and all of them kept me entertained and did what I expected them to do so I was never disappointed as I never expected much in the first place.

I envy you in many ways. I find it extremely difficult to do this. My brain is hardwired to analyse and criticise. I find it very hard to just be entertained. Even if I conclude that a film is excellent "brain off entertainment" in a review, I have had to analyse the film to reach this conclusion!

It make me a bit frustrated and angry sometimes.

I'd have to go with nekro.I've said it many times that I just like to be entertained.Probably the reason I can watch things like Grease 2 and Steven Seagal movies and just enjoy them without thinking too much.I'm a simple man with simple tastes.
