I haven't seen Watchmen yet. (I'm still only half-finished with the comic; seeing the movie feels like cheating.) Nor have I seen Coraline. (I'd like to, at some point, but I also have the sneaking suspicion that "Neil Gaiman movie" + "3-D glasses" = "something horrible, loud, and maggotty leaping out of the screen at me" and as such am not as eager as I could be. I KNOW YOUR TREACHERIES BY NOW, GAIMAN. *shifty eyes*)
Thus, until![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
morgeil pointed this trailer out to me, I'd heard nothing about 9. (Watch the trailer in High-Quality, by the way. It's lovely.)
I am very, very intrigued. I've also watched it far more than I should have, mostly because a) I really, really like the trailer music and b) listening to the full version of the song in the trailer (Coheed and Cambria's "Welcome Home") was a disappointment, since despite the epic guitars it's got an incredibly dissonant and whiny vocal track, so I have to stick with the trailer version.
Anyway. Music aside, my curiosity is well piqued, since the art direction of the movie, if nothing else, looks very appealing, with exactly the sort of gears-and-leather quasi-organic machinery that I love and adorable little burlap-sack-people to boot.
And hey, John C. Reilly is in a movie I actually want to see! Crispin Glover and Martin Landau are in movies, period! Christopher Plummer possibly not playing a villain this time! Nice changes all. (Also, I've decided that my favorite character in the trailers is 6 - Crispin Glover's character. For starters, he's Crispin Glover; also, I'd bet actual money he plays the loopy, childlike prophet/savant who ends up saving everyone. I just get that feeling.)
That music though. Man. I wish I liked the whole song, because that first guitar riff they play in the trailer makes me want to write something epic. Actually what it really makes me want to do is write about the Engine and some grand confrontation between it and the protagonists of whichever story it's inhabiting now, but you don't want to hear me ramble about that.
Back to work. By "work" I mean "reading", but there's still a lot of it. My room being really cold doesn't help.
