As a friend pointed out, I'm probably talking moon-doodie by reading ill intent into PKD's nameless attribution in that trailer. So I will say something nice instead: I like how the VO says "the author who brought us" these movies; not you, but us. He speaks not as the Control Voice behind the screen, but as a fellow audience member, who enjoyed those other movies as much as you did, and hopes that you look forward to "Paycheck" as much as he does.

MOON-DOODIE FOR DAYS! I choose to hear it that way, at least, and smile, for I am a sucker like that. I also almost cry when I watch the "Return of the King" trailer, and all its Terrible Promise, even after like 10 viewings, so I should stop it now before I get sick of Gollum's voice.

Finally, I get a thrill every time Samuel Pepys shows up as a character in "Quicksilver", because I'm like: Dur-hee, I read his weblog!

I hope it's a good movie. I drum my fingers at shots of Ben Affleck riding an on-fire motorcyle through windows while yelling and aggressively kissing Uma Thurman as cars crash, pssssss! slow-motion. We'll see. Expectations dwindling already.

Also, freeze-framing through the newspaper headline images in the trailer makes me angry at George W Bush. I am amused that things that have nothing to do with the president now make me angry at him. And I'm angry about getting angry like that. Stupid grr.
