In other movie news....

Don't forget about the Last Mondays Film Festival, which resumes tonight. The movie starts at 8:30pm. Just show up, or call me for details if you want to come. I think we've got drinks and some popcorn, but if you want more than that you'll have to bring it.

Also, perhaps even better than seeing The Dark Kinght last night, I loved seeing the trailer for the new Terminator movie due out next summer. I had heard the franchise had been sold to a company that planned to reinvent the series, but I didn't realize it would happen so fast. They have planned a trilogy, the first of which takes place in 2018 (between the end of T3, late 1990s, and the earliest views of the future included in T1, 2029). Oddly enough, it stars Christian Bale (Batman) as John Connor and is written by the same guy who wrote the screenplay for The Dark Knight, which may be fitting given the Batman film's reputation for darkness, and the probable mood of a movie detailing how machines drive humans to the brink of extinction. Other notable characters will be Kyle Reese, played by Anton Yelchin, and Kate Connor, played by Bryce Dallas Howard, who is better known as Ivy Walker of The Village. Word is that the governor of CA may make a cameo. You can see the trailer here.
