Quick, when I say “Wing Commander” and “Meet Joe Black,” what’s the first thing that comes to mind?
If it’s “two crappy movies, starring Freddie Prinze and Brad Pitt,” you must have actually had a life back in the primitive Internet age of 1998-1999. The rest of us have fond memories of buying tickets to those movies, getting a glimpse at early “Star Wars: Episode I” trailers, and then sneaking out of the theater to go see something else.
Now, the phenomenon might repeat itself some ten years later, as news has broken that “Speed Racer” will hit theaters next Friday with the highly-anticipated “Twilight” teaser attached. That’s right, kids, fork over your $10 and you’ll get a two-minute glimpse of Edward and Bella on the big-screen.
You’ll also get the bonus of a 129-minute Emile Hirsch movie that some people really, really want to see; others might not.
And here’s the rub: If you keep your eyes peeled on these here Internets at the beginning of next week, let’s just say that there’s a good chance you’ll discover that very same teaser trailer. It ain’t 1998 anymore, folks, and a decade later we’ve all become more accustomed to watching a hot trailer unfold on our computer monitors.
So, Twilighters, here’s a 3-part question of the day: Are you more likely to pay for “Speed Racer” next Friday now that “Twilight” is attached? If so, will you actually stick around to watch “Speed,” or sneak into something like “Iron Man”? And finally, if you see the trailer on the Internet next week, how does that impact your decision?
i don't live in America, but if i did i would go and see Speed Racer just for the teaser!!But...now that it will posted it online...it's a different story
please post the trailer online....we NEED to see it
p.s. Twilight has A LOT of fans in Europe, as well
umm..
i'll probably watch it on the internet.
if i dont watch it on the internet next week (which is unlikely) then i'll probably go see speed racer.
and if i go see speed racer for the twilight teaser i'm not wasting my 10 bucks. lol. i'll stay and watch it. :D
i just feel bad for anyone sitting next to me when the trailer comes on.. cause i will freak out. lol. : ]
i love you larry!
lol but over all yes, I will be spending the money mainly to just watch the trailer.
If I had the money though, I would definitely go see Speed Racer just for the teaser trailer... and then leave the movie theatre once I regained consciousness after the brilliant trailer!
I was definitely not planning on going to see Speed Racer, but now I might .
BUT, if you were planning on giving us teaser next Tuesday then.... that's a different story .
they really should give you a raise .
:)
2) Yes, ill stick around to watch, itll be fun, Emile Hirsch is hot, and um, i can have fun making fun of the movie if ts bad
3) it will make me happy if its on the internet, but its not the same as seeing it on the big screen!
:D
.....
....
...Lol.
Then again, it'd still be cool to see it on the big screen, but I'll be saving my 10 bucks for when it actually comes out...Plus the bi office hit should be for the hot vampires, not racer boy.
Btw Larry, congratulations! You're going to be a daddy and I'm going to be an aunt! (...Well, not the aunt of your kid, my sister's)
1. I will most likely pay or *coughsneekincough*
2. i'll go see Speed racer just for the Trailer and then go see something else.
3. I'll see it on the internet as well. Its just small computer screen and BIG Theater screen is just not the same.
4. Most likey Speed Racer will make it big in the box office due to us Twlight Fans.
Even if I see the movie on the internet before I see it in theatres i'll still want to see it. The whole feeling of seeing it on the "big screen" is much more exciting. I frequently attend the cinemas so i'd probably watch the trailer and Speed Racer and also watch the trailer another time and sneak into a different movie.
If I had wanted to see Speed Racer to begin with, I'd be there, but since I don't, my computer screen will serve nicely.
Then I'd leave after the trailer ended, and go home. lol.
While I would be thrilled to see a Twilight Teaser before SR (And I'm not counting on it. My market has a habit of not having the advertised trailers.) I would LOVE to have the chance to watch it over and over on my computer.
If so, will you actually stick around to watch “Speed,” or sneak into something like “Iron Man”?
Yes, I will stick around for Speed Racer. I already mentioned I would be seeing the movie anyway, Twilight trailer included or not.
And finally, if you see the trailer on the Internet next week, how does that impact your decision?
Absolutely not. Seeing the trailer on a computer screen will not do it justice. I mean, you just can't compare a crappy LQ clip to the big screen. You HAVE TO see it on the big screen to be adequately ~dazzled~.
I think I would go. Just for the trailer. But I'm living in germany so that's not possible. ^^;
(But that's VERY GOOD because of that 2 minute teaser trailer I wouldn't be able to concentrate ANY SECOND on speed racer. lol even though I'm not really interested in it.. XD so that doesn't matter anyway. :P )
Buuuuuut... since it will be posted online.. that's so much better then! I can squee, cry and dance around in the room without beind scolded or anything else.
Oh Larry. Did I mention that I love you for what you already did for us? XD
You're one amazing person. unbeliebable
1. I'm not from the US, but if I were then HELL YES. I was going to watch Speed Racer anyway though (a Korean dude that I am a fan of is in it)... so it's not a big deal for me.
2. Yes, I will stick around for Speed Racer. I already mentioned I would be seeing the movie anyway, Twilight trailer included or not.
3. It wouldn't impact my decision at all. Seeing the trailer on a computer screen will not do it justice. I mean, you just can't compare a crappy LQ clip to the big screen. You HAVE TO see it on the big screen to be adequately ~dazzled~.
Oh and if the trailer comes out earlier in the week....oh I dunno say Twilight Tuesday...perhaps????....well anyways if the trailer does come out before friday then I will watch it online then go see speed racer to watch the trailer on the big screen with awesome sound...
OMG!!! I get all excited just thinking about it..
Larry I just wanted to tell you ...you completely and totally rock!!! \m/(^_^)\m/
And the internet if you bring it to me.
:)
so yeah prettty excited for next week....
oh and Larry
dude you totally, completely rock!!!!.. did you know that???...seriously dude...\m/(^-^)\m/
As i'm in England i will have to wait for the internet version. But i would have gone to see it at the cinema.
Larry do you know if Twilight is coming to English cinema's???
Of course I'm not going to see Speed Racer. It'll be on other movies soon, and even though I'll watch it a ton online, I'll still get excited when it just randomly shows up before some other movie I see. *Prince Caspian?*
Personally, I /might/ go see Speed Racer, and actually sit through it after I get to see the trailer. My parents would kill me if I got up and walked out of a movie that I "wanted to see" XDD
Still undecided. Depends on when it shows up online, I suppose.
If I wasn't up to see SR, I would still pay the money to go see the movie just for the trailer, though it's released on the internet, it's just not the same as seeing it on the big screen.
