Miscellaneous - 2010 Gets Better Edition

1. The Town Trailer - Directed by Ben Affleck, who showed great promise with Gone Baby Gone. Crime/Love drama set in Boston looks awesome - great cast - Affleck, Jeremy Renner, Jon Hamm, Rebecca Hall, Chris Cooper and Pete Postlewaithe.

2. New trailer for Social Network - First few seconds are amazing. This year is looking better all the time. Directed by David Fincher about the origins of Facebook. First critical look at the millenials could be genius.

3. Listen to David Lynch's collaboration with Modest Mouse and Sparklehorse (and read an article about it) here.

4. New Criterion version of Thin Red Line comes out September 28, 2010here.

5. Trailer for Biutiful - Directed by Alejandro Gonzales Inarritu (Amores Perros, 21 Grams and Babel) and starring Javier Bardem. A Lawyer must-see.

6. Trailer for Due Date - New Todd Phillips (Old School, The Hangover) comedy with Robert Downey Jr., Jamie Foxx and Zach Galifinakis. Obviously looks funny. "I once ate a footlong corn dog on a nude beach."

7. Trailer for It's Kind of a Funny Story - From Deborah Fleck and Ryan Boden (Half Nelson and Sugar) and starring Zach Galifinakis.

The Town's trailer gave away the entire plot, but still looks pretty great.

I'm much more than quietly hopeful about Social Network after that amazing trailer.

I'm working on a top 100 films of the 90s to coincide with the Blu ray release of The Thin Red Line.

Nice Planes, Trains, and Automobiles and One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest remakes from ZG. We'll see if his shtick can carry a movie. He's been irreplaceable in support.
