Yeah, they've been running trailers in theaters here for at least a month now. It looks pretty good.

Yaaay indeed! I wonder when (and if) it will come over here. There's always SendIt (rather stupid new name for BlackStar)...

I prefer the new name, I always thought BlackStar sounded slightly dubious, if you know what I mean.

The official site is pretty neat:

We are going next week sometime - we've had the poster up in the kichen for a few weeks as a reminder!

It's just that it reminded me of a Carpenter's movie that I just now realized is actually called Dark Star.

Hehe, yeah I actually work on metric-time, which always gets you traditional imperial people confused.

Anyway, I thought it was out on Thursday based on the first paragraph of the page that Rob posted. (edit) But this is definately wrong, as my local cinema says that it is out on the 14th October. So still a month to go.

Basically losing all of your previous work must really suck. As he says tho, it's not a big thing considering what is/has been happening around the world.

On a semi related note, what the heck was Morph's friend called?

I think the evil chicken from 'The Wrong Trousers' did it.

Seriously, how classy is Mr. Park for his quote:
"Even though it's precious stuff and nostalgic - and it's dreadful news for the company, in the light of other tragedies it's not a big deal."?

A true gentleman.

Ahh! Chas/Chaz. That was it. It's actually in wikipedia now I look. It's been bugging me for a while actually.

...though at one point a rubber glove is used as a 'rooster disguise', or not? It's been a while for me.

Indeed, he was a penguin in rooster guise. I still think he did it.

Sorry. No. Anyone (well, any penguin) that shoots at Gromit deserves what he gets.
