Can't wait for Super 8! :D http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Dt5eI5UTdSw

Super 8 is the latest movie by JJ Abrams, exec produced by Steven Spielberg. Synopsis: In the summer of 1979, a group of friends in a small Ohio town witness a catastrophic train crash while making a super 8 movie and soon suspect that it was not an accident. Shortly after, unusual disappearances and inexplicable events begin to take place in town, and the local Deputy tries to uncover the truth - something more terrifying than any of them could have imagined.

Looks like a mix of Spielberg classics, Close Encounters, E.T, Goonies but it also reminds me of The Mist a little.

Yeh this one snuck up on me. Saw the JJ/Spielberg combo and put it on my list, but I'm not going to watch any previews so it's as novel an experience as possible.

in usual Abrams fashion, he's decided not to reveal too much about it, which is actually quite refreshing.

wtf i didn't get anything from that

Interestingly enough, there's also an interactive teaser for this buried in Portal 2:

Does anyone know what the creature or whatever it is, is? The trailer sorta makes it look like Goonies but with more action. Well not exactly like that, but it looks like all those cool movies that came out in the 80's.

When was this? I didn't see anything like that in the game.

In the extras menu on the PC or MAC.

No Sam L Jackson in this movie?
Seems like a perfect setup for a line like "ENOUGH! I have had it with this motherfuckin crate on this motherfuckin train"

Everyone's a critic

Loved it. It's a nice departure from the Marvel/DC "story-verse" movies that the studios keep pumping out lately. It's really nice to get back-to-basics in terms of story. No super heroes, just a bunch of kids rallying against something bigger than themselves. Elle Fanning was a standout. Well worth it.

The thing that shat me off about this film was that the kids actually had nothing to do with the monster plot at all.
