I can't believe you think Scrubs is funnier than King of the Hill.

OK, I've inserted an appropriate caveat.

Ever see the trailer for "One Night at McCool's"? It was pure gold. But a terrible movie.

I'm seeing it tonight. I'll report tomorrow.

(Not that you should trust me.)

At Sundance this year, Garden State was a huge hit. I couldn't get in, but heard great things about it. I'm really looking forward to it's full release.

That caveat is not enough: ever seen Arrested Development? I admit, Scrubs is pretty damn hilarious, but Arrested Development beats even that, by a wide margin.

dan,

if you want to stay hip check out what the kids are watching. (i heard recently a group of teenagers choose this over the moral lessons in fat albert)

the movie looks great, it has some amazing shots in it, and i like the website.

Yow. Awesome trailer.

And it's:

1. Arrested Development
2. Scrubs
3. Lots of other stuff
4. King of the Hill

KOH is funny, but not REALLY funny. Scrubs is better than ever recently, but can't touch Arrested Development.

I can't believe you didn't include the obligatory photo of the hotness that is Natalie Portman.

I'm going to have to second fling -- I'm outraged that there is no obligatory natalie pic to oggle at. Outraged!

Incredible trailer - just beautiful. Thanks for the heads up!

Rather than the Frou Frou song, I would recommend the regular trailer rather than the teaser trailer purely because of The Postal Service.

Dan:
Neat.

Thanks.

Gotta go watch it again.

I'm hooked.

It's a great trailer.

But where's the balloons? Where's the f***ing balloons?

Sorry, too easy but I had to do it.

It's crack!

Eh.

A great trailer was the one for The Phantom Menace. Much better than the movie.

Well, having watched the movie last night, I can pretty confidently recommend it. It's strange & funny. And, more surprisingly, Braff seems to have a fully-formed visual/imagistic language -- one that captures a kind of suburban surreality that's a welcome respite to the dour moralizing of, say, American Beauty & Happiness. Too, Braff's script is confident enough to use quiet, pauses, & elispses. A rarity in a such a young filmmaker.

And Natalie Portman is very sweet, very funny, & very hot.

Insert "from" for "to" in there somewhere.

I second Spencer, see this movie.

I saw a preview of it a few weeks back and loved it. Zach Braff was there and talked to the audience about the movie afterwards. He said a lot of characters and events in the movie came from growing up in New Jersey. The flaming arrows? Well, his friend did the same thing without fire.

Dan,

You didn't like Throw Momma From the Train??

Blasphemy.

I'm submitting a "me too" about Arrested Development.

Can you believe that Fox cancelled it?

Another type of show, but also very funny and worth checking out is Best Week Ever on VH1.

Liberal Avenger -- Miracle of miracles, Fox did *not* cancel Arrested Development. It's in reruns this summer, just after the Simpsons, which will also be its timeslot for the new season in the fall. Also, 1st season on DVD in October.
