M.O.V.I.E. Quick Hits 8/6/10

Emma Watson's New Hair
So Hermione Granger got a haircut. Big deal! Personally I think it looks good. She has the face for it. She has the body for it. The long hair made her still look like the little girl from the first Harry Potter movie (although a lot less frizzy) so it is a welcome change! Now she looks ready for more "adult" roles and perhaps a welcome turn to Indie Film. Now get over it. It's her body, she can do with it as she pleases.

Transformers 3
Everyday there are more and more photos coming out from filming of this "film" in Chicago. Nothing tells us anything more than the day before. All these pictures do is confirm that Michael Bay has not suddenly decided to stop having stuff blow up all the time. There are apparently NASCAR Autobots (the good guys, for those who don't know) that take the whole "Robots in Disguise" concept and chuck it out the window. They are literally NASCAR vehicles, complete with the paint jobs, endorsements and ridiculous amounts of firepower and weapons visible in their "disguise" form. Bravo, Mr. Bay.

Of course, what catches my attention is that Bumblebee (the main human character's car) has a new paint job and I'm wondering if the digital artists responsible for the CGI robots will bother matching the new paint job to the pre-existing CGI models. I find this doubtful considering that when the robots are robots, they are generally scratched and beat to Hell... but when they are back to being cars, they are shiny, new and perfect looking.

They attempted to make the same thing happen to Megan Fox, but sadly they failed.

Jackass 3-D
The new trailer premiered today. And while I've made my feelings on 3-D quite clear in my previous post, I firmly believe that this movie will fit into that tiny "gimmick" movie that the 3-D may just add something to the overall experience. And since there is no plot to slow down with the 3-D, it should fit just fine. It will be a "shut-down-your-brain-and-just-have-fun-with-it trip to the theater (or video store) but with silly glasses.

Yogi Bear
This is just terrible:

I'm not even going to do a hot link on that one. You just need to click on the link and realize that something is going on with that movie studio marketing department. Either they just don't care, or they are REALLY pushing the once-subtle homosexual undertones of A CHILDREN'S CARTOON!!! When will they stop ruining everyone's childhood and innocence!?!

Aight, that's enough for now. But in conclusion, the "real" version of this blog has gone live at the Carroll County Times' M.O.V.I.E. blog! And we have a fan site on Facebook!
