Pavlovian Response

I just had the craziest pavlovian response. I have spent my morning watching trailers, reading about movie news, and learning that good ole Ebert tapped some 24 year old blogger to write/introduce for his show (news I am instinctively jealous of). The odd pavlovian response came when I was watching the trailer for Scream 4, I TOTALLY smelled popcorn! The good movie theater kind that you can't stop eating and I instantly wanted some. When I became aware of what happened I realized it was happening every time I watched a trailer I liked and wanted to see! Weird? Ok, maybe, but also really telling. The trailers I was only so-so about did not elicit the same response from me because I don't find them entertaining. But take Scream 4, that flick is a prime example of classic cinema entertainment! Its hookie, and gorey, and dumb, and does nothing but satisfy male cravings but damn it, Scream is hella entertaining! I can't wait for the new Wes Craven installment and that is really REALLY saying something as I loath horror movies. I am to much of a weenie to like scary movies so thats even more points for Wes! Here's the trailer for those of you who are curious:


PLUS: I mean COME ON! Sookie Stackhouse AND Veronica Mars cameo, you seriously cant beat that!

Here are some other trailers that are awesome/bad:

Green Lantern =BAD I love you Ryan Renalds, you're a bad ass and this was an undertaking but this trailer does this movie NO justice. I wanted to see this thing since I first heard it was being made but after the trailer, I am really disappointed. BIG TIME! ...and Blake Lively, just UGH


Green Hornet ="...Meh" Still not great, but I'll watch it.


AND THE BEST FOR LAST: 
Cowboys and Aliens =AWESOME. Judge me if you will but if you have seen the trailer (and the cast) then you know what I'm talking about! This movie looks AWESOME, totally and utterly ridiculous but sheer awesomeness! I cannot wait to see this movie. It is a popcorn bucket movie and its gonna ROCK. First of all, its a Western, can't beat that, Second its a movie about Aliens, sweet, and Third, Daniel Craig/Harrison Ford kick some serious ass! "I want that man. You give him to me now... or I'm gonna take him." AHHHH its just cool. I think Favreau got this one right, he has found his niche and should really stay there. (PLUS, Ron Howard and Steven Speilberg producing) Now, I really could be wrong about this one. It has potential to really crash and burn, but the point here is not the movie itself, its the quality of the trailer and whether it makes me want to actually watch and this one got me from the TITLE let alone the actual trailer. I'm there, done and done!
