For Your Anticipation: Exposition, Exposition...

How come Paul Thomas Anderson has to live with the same first and last name as Paul W.S. Anderson? One makes brilliant films like "Punch-Drunk Love" and "There Will Be Blood". The other makes shit like this. Upon viewing the trailer for "The Three Musketeers", I only thought that it couldn't be nearly as bad as I expected it would be. Lo and behold, it was exactly as horrid as I worried. I think "worried" may be an inappropriate word. That implies that I had any stock whatsoever invested in this. I've been away from the theaters too long, and I feel the urge to see something this weekend. This isn't it.

Teaser Trailer: The Three Musketeers

I could list off the several horrible things that are featured in this trailer, from Milla Jovavich in slow motion, to predictably awful noble dialogue, to atrociously simple cinematography, to a woeful lack of Christoph Waltz. The Three Musketeers is not going to be a good movie, as you can always tell from director Paul W.S. Anderson (Resident Evil). I just couldn't help watching this trailer with an overwhelming sense of dread. Take a look for yourself, and comment below on your thoughts.
