SUPER 8 Advance Screening Passes!!! FOR TONIGHT AHHHHHH It pays to be in the Spielberg-JJ Abrams fan club!!!
After the screening > 930 pm: I am so EXCITED to see SUPER 8. Steven Spielberg is the reason why I love movies. His blessing, influence, reminiscent of Goonies/E.T are all over Super 8. Just the music from the trailer gave me chills, took me back to the 80's. - incredibly nostalgic wild, adventurous thrill ride to follow these kids, who are fun, innocent with BIG HEART!!! -honestly don't expect big explosions, expect a hearty story. -it's not about the monster, instead it's about the characters, Love, loss, grief, fear and letting go. If you know, followed jj and his shows, then you know his central idea/subtext, LOVE. - ahh love interest....Speilbergian sentimental moments ....aww -Totally miss sandlot, stand by me -complete utter homage to 80's Spielberg E.T, Goonies - Cinematography by Larry Fong -monster designed by jj's regular make up Neville Page (star trek, cloverfield, avatar, watchmen...) -music composed by Michael Giacchino (alias, lost, fringe, cars, The Incredibles...) channeling Spielberg's music buddy JOHN WILLIAMS - Am I watching E.T No I'm Watching Goonies....AHHHHHHH -awesome feeling like I was watching E.T/Goonies for the first time. so much love in this film -Congratulations JJ and Spelberg for reminding us why we all love the movies! -E.T. Extremely Terrific. - The best sci-fi thriller of the year -They just don't make them like this anymore. -met every expectation.
