Did I miss something in the trailer?

Nope. Moonie's just pointing out one possible answer to your question, a logical one based on the scenario in, ya know, the Planet of the Apes series.

Well, to me, the smart writing, nice performances, and fun of it overrode any pedestrianism I might have noticed in the direction. Sometimes, though, I noticed quite the opposite. I liked all the James Bond touches. I liked the training segment which used split screens instead of standard montage.

I don't know that it will stand up so well to repeated viewings, but I really liked XMFC and, though not a particularly high bar, consider it way near the top rung of comic book movies.

We finally saw Deathly Hallows I last night. When people said that it was a dark movie I didn't realize they meant it so literally! Most of the movie was so dimly lit that while watching it at night with all the lights out we still couldn’t make out what was happening in half the movie! A lot of scenes were just vague moving shapes.

Deathly Hallows looks great on a properly calibrated screen. Now even the movie theaters can't get that right.

But shouldn't it look great on a hi-def monitor? It's a real chore to watch, and no projectionist to blame. (see my post a page or so back.)

We watched on a 65" Mitsubishi DLP and didn't have any problems. Ours is a little more bright than most (part of why we chose this model), so that may have something to do with it.

So did Richard Dean Anderson (moreso in my favorite TV series EVEAH! than in MacGyver). I did a triple take check IMDB to see recent photos of him after the MacGrybber/MacGyver cameo on SNL.

Along those lines, see if you can guess who this is in the picture below (met him over the weekend)

Hint/Trivia:
Spoiler:
While hs is probably better known as Neidermeir in Animal House along with a reprisal of the character in a couple of Twister Sister videos, I was surprised to learn he also played The Master on Buffy the Vampire Slayer.


Still don't know?
Spoiler:
Mark Metcalf
