If you didn't know, Imaginary Forces is the creation of Ruairi Robinson who made the very dark short called Blinky.  Also just a little known fact, Ruairi was almost the director for the yet unfilmed live action Akira film.  If you look at this film you can kind of see what Ruairi's vision of Akira might have been.  Anyways, the video is below, but you'll be depressed that you won't know when he'll actually release the short.

If you've got time, grab some snacks and relax because what you're about to see is one of the best "A day in the life.." video in recent years.

Looks like if you saw the last Harry Potter, then you also saw a preview of the Dark Knight Rises.  Nothing is special about the trailer.  It's just footage from the previous films and short new footage.  Remind you the Dark Knight Rises just started filming so there isn't much to show anways.

In my opinoin, they should have just done what they did for the Dark Knight trailer, show the Bat sign with some voice overs.  Instead they gave us the teaser which was a mixture of the first and second teaser.  Anyways if you haven't seen the teaser check out the unofficially released one before it's taken down: Dark Knight Rises Teaser.

Also anyone noticed what looks to be the Superman symbol in the poster above?

UPDATE:  Teaser trailer has now officially been released.  Check out below.

With today's economy, people are careful with what they spend on their money.  With the way movie ticket prices are, who wouldn't.  Also with the internet, it's a lot easier to get the word out be it good or bad.   Almost everyone has an access to the internet and the best place to get a review of a movie is on forums or rottentomatoes.com.

Another, thing is why are these film studios competing for viewers.  It's just doesn't make sense.  If you're spending on a movie upwards of $200 million dollars not including marketing, don't you want to maximize it staying power.  I used to remember the days where a blockbuster movie would come out, and there wouldn't be another blockbuster movie coming out the next week.  It would always be a month or more.  This year it seemed that from the start of May onward, there has been a supposed blockbuster movie every week.  Studios are wondering why their movies aren't making money.  It's called saturation.  There are many movies coming out then before.  The ones that do make money are the ones that don't compete.  Those are those indie films or movies that were made smart by not spending so much on making a film.

That 3D that these companies are pushing for aren't working.  One it raises the prices of tickets.  Two, you've got to wear glasses.  Heck in the 80's people wore glasses and you'd think our technology could have improved in the last 20 years so that we wouldn't have to wear them.  3D is a bust.  3D will only catch on when there is no need for glasses and all the movies are made in 3D ie filmed in 3D, not done in post.

So how can these film companies come to make a profit in their movies?  Stop making so many movies.  Stop releasing them so close to other blockbuster movies.  Be smart about the marketing.  With trailers give us just enough without showing the whole movie.  Transformers 3, the teasers were great.  As soon as the opening gets closer they start showing the destruction of Chicago.  What the heck.  That whole trailer is pretty much the movie and the end of it as well.  Trailers are just for getting the viewer excited.  You might have noticed that I didn't say story.  You'd be surprise how some of the biggest blockbusters don't have a good story (cough cough Star Wars Pre-equal).  In the end it's all about timing.  In the coming weeks we'll be getting Cars 2 (what the hell, where's my Monsters Inc 2),  Transformers 3, Harry Potter (oh yeah!), and Captain America.  That's alot of movies in under a month.  Get my point.

Anyways, check out this pretty epic trailer.  There are some pretty awesome sequences in there.  For those who live in downtown Chicago and had to deal with the really bad traffic due to the filming of this film, reassured that just about every scene in this trailer is in Chicago.  I'm kind of wrong to say this, but Chicago looks amazing being destroyed.  What's even amazing are the people behind it that did the special effects.  It only too them around a year or so to do it.  I wonder how many technicians and artist worked on this.

The trailer is pretty straight forward. The government shared the info of the transformers world.  Mr Optimus Prime isn't too pleased.  Now there are aliens popping out of the moon and giving destruction to earth specifically Chicago.  Anyways from the way Optimus was talking about it at the end of the trailer makes it look the Autobots have lost faith in the humans and were gonna leave earth.  Will this be the final Transformer movie for next 6 or so years?  We do know that this is Michael Bay's last Transformer film.  Who knows, but make sure to watch that trailer cause that's all you'll get til July 1.

If you're also wondering, Warner Brothers also put up a website for the movie.  Not much is there (nothing but black at the moment).  You'll sure to find more sneak peaks and other tasty treats there in the future.  Visit it here at www.darkknightrises.com.
