Super Bowl XLV Trailers

Seems like the last time I did this was back in 2009, but who can blame me? It's not like there were that many great films last summer... Regardless, I watch the big game for the commercials, more specifically, the trailers:














There's a few missing, like Fast Five, Battle: Los Angeles, Limitless, and Rio... but they weren't very exciting trailers. But that Super 8 trailer... that's the most awesome thing I've seen in a long time. Can't wait!

Pearl Jam premiere new song on Conan

With all the E3 hubbub I sadly missed Conan O'Brien's first Tonight Show, when it aired at least. Thankfully there's Hulu, and I was able to catch the entire episode there just this morning.

I had already been aware that Pearl Jam was going to be the musical guest on the show, but I obviously wasn't aware of the song they were going to play. Turns out, no one really could have guessed since it was a track from their previously unannounced new album, Backspacer. The track name is "Got Some":



Sounds decent, a lot like "Save You" off of Riot Act; but I think it's hard to get a feel for the song when you first hear it live ... at least for me. Hopefully we'll find out more about Backspacer soon.

Super Bowl trailers

With the game over, I guess that makes it a safe time to post the only thing worthwhile about it, the commercials. More specifically, the movie trailers (since the actual commercials were awful). Thanks to Hulu, you can find most of the commercials there. However, because of our contact with Paramount, the Star Trek spot is available at VFHvideo. So, let's take a look at the movie trailers that got us interested:

G.I. Joe: The Rise of Cobra (available in HD)

J.J. Abrams' Star Trek (our first video in HD)

Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen

Disney / Pixar's Up

Year One
