Buffy: It’s not that big a deal. It’s just a bunch of people getting together.
Willow: It’s a very big deal!
Buffy: It’s not!
Willow: It is. (spots Giles) Tell her!
Giles: I’m afraid it’s very big.
Willow: Thank you! Wait! What are you talking about?

Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Season 1: Episode 5 – “Never Kill a Boy on the First Date”
Welcome to “Trailer Tuesday” where I talk about trailers for upcoming movies.
Here on the Ship’s Log I usually feature trailers that strike my interest in some way, either by promoting a film that looks exciting to me or by using an interesting technique within the trailer itself. Sometimes, however, a trailer will leave me shaking my head, rolling my eyes, or snorting with derisive laughter. Take a look at this:
A newspaper, as I’m sure you know, is a collection of supposedly true stories written down by writers who either saw them happen or talked to people who did.

When Dumbledore spoke, however, his voice was quite steady.
“I am very touched, Harry.”
Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince – J.K. Rowling
Welcome to “Trailer Tuesday” where I talk about trailers for upcoming movies.
In my quest to post a trailer every day for a week, in order to make up for some slow updates as of late, I’m going to take a slight detour today and post an old trailer instead of a new one. You see, today is my 30th birthday, and among many other things that means that it’s been 30 years since I was first exposed to Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom. My mother was watching the film when it caused her to go into labor with me, so I’ve got a pretty strong personal connection to the film.
