SUPER 8

[krickets]

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?)

I am super excited for this movie. It feels like such classic Spielberg. I love JJ but I wish Spielberg was actually directing this one, not just producing. Especially since the whole thing seems so rooted in Spielberg's childhood.

AND Kyle Chandler. YES.

I kinda feel the same way about wishing it was SS instead of JJ. So much! It totally feels very Spielberg-inspired -- it's only right! *stamps foot*
