Thoughts on Trailers #3 (Seen during Beerfest)

- Judging from the trailer for The Departed, looks like Marty did right by Infernal Affairs. I'm proud to say I correctly predicted which of the moles would be played by Damon & DiCaprio. (Not that it was difficult, but still.) I can't wait for this one.

- I also can't wait for The Fountain, even as part of me suspects it'll be like an arthouse Michael Bay movie -- all surface, no stickum. At the very least, the visuals promise to be mind-blowing.

- Let's Go to Prison should by all rights be the funniest thing ever. I wasn't a fan of Bob Odenkirk's last film (the smarmy prickfest of Melvin Goes to Dinner), but this looks like top-drawer stuff. ("Well, it... uh... it kinda looked like it was a Q.")

- I'm so glad The Protector is finally coming out. That means I can stop seeing the damn trailer, which has played in front of almost every film I've seen at Loews in the last two months.

- Then, of course, there's Jackass: Number Two. Back in June, Dennis Cozzalio posted a beautiful evocation of the warring impulses that must take place inside any serious film fan (like myself) that secretly looks forward to watching Knoxville and Co. abuse themselves yet again. What else can I add to that other than I'll be in line that weekend with bells on?
