What Hath Sex And The City Wrought?

If He's Just Not That Into You didn't have enough estrogen for you, you're in luck.

I don't think there's a single penis in this entire preview.  Unless Meg Ryan is hiding one (entirely possible given all the work she's had done).

Enjoy The Women.

Marketing 101

If this ISN'T the preview attached to this weekend's debut of Sex and the City, then someone needs to lose their job.

Enjoy the trailer for He's Just Not That Into You.

Ouch - Four Word Sex and the City Review

"Another Taliban recruitment film"

The longer version: "Guys everywhere -- if you're in a brand-new relationship, take her to see this thing. If she even half-likes it, dump her and walk away cold."

• I don't love Noah's writing, but his Summer Movie Preview is pretty complete, if nothing else.  I find myself looking forward to Iron Man, Speed Racer, Indiana Jones, Get Smart (why open this on the same day as another huge comedy, The Love Guru?), Wall-E, Wanted, Hancock (could be Will Smith's first misfire in some time), The Dark Knight, Step Brothers, The X-Files sequel, Choke, Pineapple Express, Tropic Thunder, The International, Towelhead, Hamlet 2, and finally, Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants 2 (no, not really).
• David Poland handicaps and predicts the box office of the summer hits.  If Hancock hits $250 million, I'll be stunned.  Also, I think he's underestimating the geek quotient on Wanted.  I mean, if 300 can hit a massive opening weekend, then don't you think Wanted will gross more than $62 million all up?  Finally, if Sex and the City only makes $60 million, someone's getting fired at New Line Cinema.  Oh, wait - nevermind.  See David's full box office chart here.
• Dilbert author Scott Adams hated No Country for Old Men and proposes a new system for reviewing movies.
• The first full-length movie has been launched on YouTube, and the creators have an interesting business model behind it.  And by interesting, I mean "no way in hell will this work."
• David Poland again, talking about the Juno Blu-ray DVD.  It comes with a "bonus digital copy" that you can put on your iPod, PC, etc, etc.  This is brilliant, and I'd love to see every DVD come with this.  I mean, if I buy the DVD, and I want to put it on a different platform - can the studios save me some frustration and do the extra work for me?  I don't want to go find special ripping software, potentially breaking several laws... I want to put 17 Curious George episodes on my laptop or iPod for the airplane trip with my kids, but there's no convenient way to do this today.

The Strangest Interview You'll Ever See

Craig Bierko was literally on a rerun of Sex and the City last night, including his naked ADD banjo playing, and yet this morning, I get this:

I don't have words...

I have no comment here.  I'm just astounded they all somehow found time in their busy schedules to put this film together.
