Dec 28 03: jeepers!
Not long ago I asked what we’d live for now that the Lord of the Rings movies are over and done with. Well, the easiest answer is that we don’t have to make such calls just yet, because we can still quiver with anticipation over the Extended Edition DVD (presumably coming out late 2004).
But what will get us from now to then? I offer this potential touchstone: Sky Captain.
1930s New York! Gigantic robots! Heroic pilots! Plucky gal reporters! Personally, I’d say that this sounds like a blast and a half. The site doesn’t have much to offer yet, although I applaud the audio controls that give the browser the ability to twiddle the music, explosions, and propellor drone independently of one another. The trailer is much fun.
Finally, a challenge to the geeky: what television show’s theme song has been recut and used in the background of the trailer? (A: Stargate: SG-1 (Actually, I don’t know why I’m asking this question. Either you’d have recognized it without my help or you don’t know what I’m talking about anyway. Never mind.))
