Hollywood, You’ve Been Holding Out On Me…
So there I was, happily watching the History Channel when I saw this:
What in the name of all that’s holy is this and why didn’t I hear about it before tonight?
I’ve been burned by movie trailers before but this one has a distinct Cloverfield vibe, Peter Jackson, and alien insects in power armor.
Let me say that again. Alien. Insects. In. Power. Armor. That beats the hell out of anything I’ve seen this year and I’m including Transformers 2. Because talking giant robot movies always lose to movies with alien insects in power armor.
I might just have to clear my schedule on August 14.
UPDATE: Trog is wondering about my movie hierarchy. I admit it’s a work in progress, but it’s safe to put the “alien insects in power armor” genre near the very top.
