Eeeeeeeeeeeekkkkkkkk!!!!!!!!!!!! It looks awesome.
Okay, stupid question of the century. What is that song? It's a classic, but I can't place it.
PS: As soon as I get my answer, I'm going to delete the question from my post, and anybody who quotes me before I get the chance I will call a dirty slanderer!

That music is "Hall of the Mountain King" by Edvard Grieg, from the opera Peer Gynt.
Wow, I had no idea that was coming. I can't wait!

If a movie has a bad-looking preview, I know it is a bad movie. If a movie has a good preview, the movie could be good or bad--I just don't know. The film could be a series of bland cliches about dead stuff for all I know. The music and the last few seconds of the preview tipped me off to that possibility. The guy says, "Play dead!" and the skeleton dog tips his head in confusion. Whenever I see a dog on TV tipping his head in confusion, I find another way to occupy my time, because dogs don't really do that and I am bound to see more annoying cliches if I persist watching.

JD, Hall of the Mountain King is a staple in movies. For some reason Needful Things is the one that jumps immediately to mind.
Also, some heavy metal group used it in a song. Savatage IIRC.
Also, I can't see the trailer.
Also, dogs do tip their head, seemingly in confusion.

I took a lesson about Hollywood advertising from the Star Wars hype of 1999. Everyone was expecting Episode One to be all that, and I was the only skeptic. It couldn't be that good if it is named "The Phantom Menace," for God's sake. It is like a name for kid's film. And that is what it turned out to be in the end. Since then, I refused to believe that a movie could be worth seeing until the preponderance of critics gives it a good rating.

I'm sure this will be good, but I wasn't particularly intrigued by the preview except by the fact that it's Tim Burton's work and has Johnny Depp and Helena Bonham Carter. Is it based on a story or characters that I should know about? :chin:

From IMDB
Victor (Johnny Depp) is travelling home with his friend to get married to his fiancee Victoria (Emily Watson). The two stop to rest in the woods, and as a joke, Victor puts his wedding ring on a finger-shaped stick in the ground and says his wedding vows. The stick turns out to be a rotted finger belonging to a murdered girl (Helena Bonham-Carter), who returns as a zombie and insists that she is now Victor's lawfully wedded wife.

Huh?? My dog does that all the time when we talk to her. I don't think its confusion as much as she's listening for words she knows.

Um, no, not everyone. Some of us pointed and laughed even before we saw 2 seconds of the trailer.
Still, this is Tim Burton, not George "Biggest Hack in Hollywood" Lucas.

It's because Abe is "so young" that he can be jaded. Who said something like "Kids should solve the world's prolems now, while they still know everything." (Sounds like Dave Barry. I think this applies to teenagers more than 22-year-olds but still.)
Abe: :pokes: just messing with you.
Although the dog-head-tipping thing has already been corrected.
