SUPER 8

TRUTH: I am so, so, cynical about anything involving JJ Abrams but even I got butterflies in my stomach when I watched it because of the MUSIC and the big-eyed precocious kids and Steven Spielberg and shades of ET which is one of my all-time favorites, and even a little of that tingly sensation I associate with M. Night in there (shut up, I still love him, despite recent failures.) This movie's got my number. I can feel it. (Also, Coach Taylor, is that you?)

Yeah, the JJ part is what made a bit skeptical but after this trailer I'm pretty much already standing in line for my tickets.

It feels like a nice throwback to maybe ET or Close Encounters and I reallly like that aspect. I'm hoping for a good down to earth exciting sci-fi movie. We need one.

Yes, YES. And for this reason it makes me giddy. It will fill me with nostalgia.
