\nAnd here you thought you’d have to wait until Friday, at X-Men 3, to see the Ghostrider trailer – not so! Apple has it available now<\/a>. Interesting point – the High Definition trailer and the low definition trailers aren’t the same. Similar, but with a couple of shots different, and a different layout.<\/p>\n

Chris – I liked it right up until the gun made out of chains. Shades of Constantine. A guy made of flame, who can drive his motorcycle – also made out of flame – anywhere… and he needs a gun. Bah. I asked, when they first announced it, how do you make a comic book movie where the actor doesn’t get to show his face in super hero-mode – what actor will agree to that? When they announced it would be Nick Cage, I said, “Oh, ok – Cage is one of us. He’ll play the game.” Now, it looks like maybe not, or at least they’re bending the rules – I’ll bet anyone a Happy Meal that the scene with the gun of chains, is a big, dramatic moment in the film, and so they wanted Cage’s face involved.<\/p>\n

Matt – I think I’m down. I’m not a drooling Ghost Rider fanboy, but the visuals have sold me big-time. Then again, I didn’t bother to see Daredevil when it was at the show (for you non-midwestern types, “show” is our hunky-dory term for “movies”) so maybe this one will come and go without my involvement. I think Nicholas Cage looks cool, I think the FX kick my ass, I think Donal Logue is perfectly cast, as always. But more than anything else, ANYTHING, I will see this movie for the great Sam Elliott. I hope he asks Ghost Rider where he can get himself some good sasparilla.<\/p>\n

Sarah – The flaming skull-head effect is pretty darn cool — ever since the project was announced, I’ve been doubtful that they could pull that off without being 100% Gouda-licious. They did and it works. So half the battle won there, but to be honest, I don’t like Nic much when he’s super, SUPER serious. I do LOVE Donal Logue no matter what he’s doing, though. I guess I’m semi-intrigued, but this isn’t quite X-Men\/Superman-level for me.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
