Wanna see that new Harry Potter trailer?

HARRY POTTER AND THE HALF BLOOD PRINCE doesn’t hit theaters until Nov. 21, but there’s no reason not to fire up the hype machine now. In fact, as things stand, this might be the only movie that has a chance of chasing THE DARK KNIGHT out of theaters.

Here’s a link to the trailer. (I’d try posting a You Tube version, but it’d probably just get yanked, and plus, it wouldn’t have the crisp clarity of this version. So go ahead, click. You know you want to.) Not a lot of Harry, but plenty of Dumbledore — and even more of the creepiest kid who ever lived. That’s him, up there. And he doesn’t get any better with age.

He’s back. Who cares?

Here, in case you’re curious, is the poster for the upcoming remake of FRIDAY THE 13TH. As you can see, they spent a lot of time writing the copy…

 

I suppose the producers saw all the money those SAW movies make every year and said “Heck, how much could a new hockey mask and machete cost? We could make a fortune.” Personally, I couldn’t care less about a new FRIDAY THE 13TH movie (or, in all likelihood, series), but never underestimate the desire for teenagers to see kids their age get killed in imaginative and interesting ways. I can’t explain it, but I don’t dispute it.

 Anyone interested in another round with Jason?
