The Horton Hears a Who trailer had the opening music from Beetlejuice. Also, Dustin Hoffman's Mr Margorium... used the music from Pee Wee's Big Adventure. Two kids films using Danny Elfman scores from Tim Burton movies, what's up with that? And for the people who grew up with the Burton films, does this music seem weird being in something different? After all, these are pretty distinguishable scores. Has anyone else noticed something weird with film scores lately?

I've been pumped on that for months, although the clockwork orange advertising did piss me off a bit. Cant miss Funny Games.

As much as I like the idea of a new silly, post-apocalyptic film like Doomsday, the trailers haven't done anything to really interest me yet. Horton Hears A Who? I'll probably check that out on DVD someday. Fuck Never Back Down. I'll just re-watch The Karate Kid (which I picked up at Wal-Mart for $5 a few weeks ago).

Funny Games opened in the local multiplex right beside Doomsday. What a strange double-bill that will make. I've heard mixed on both films, but I'm seeing both for sure. Whee.

Maybe one this weekend and the other next week. No advance screenings for Doomsday gives me some bad vibes, though. I thought Neil Marshall could do no wrong after the awesome Descent... was I too naive? I want to see Doomsday and Funny Games, but haven’t decided which.
