Personally, I can't wait to see this.
I've always been a fan of movies that go really in depth - so longer movies are generally better.
Che has always been an interesting character. Of course, depending on whom you are talking to, there is nothing to admire about Che.
That aside, check out the new trailer for Soderberg's 4 1/2 hour epic:
I'm thinking Benicio is going to snag another Oscar.

Preacher Man
The Hollywood Reporter brings good news for comic fans. Vertigo's PREACHER series could be coming to a theatre near you:

It's great to see that PREACHER has a solid, serious director in place. While Constantine was a fun film, I'm looking for PREACHER to be even better.
Also, Mendes is no stranger to adaptations. He also directed the adaptation of the graphic novel Road To Perdition.
Created by Garth Ennis and Steve Dillon, "Preacher," which ran from 1995-2000, told the story of a down-and-out Texas preacher possessed by Genesis, a supernatural entity conceived by the unnatural coupling of an angel and a demon.
Given immense powers, the preacher teamed with an old girlfriend and a hard-drinking Irish vampire and set out on a journey across America to find God -- who apparently had abandoned his duties in heaven -- and hold him accountable for his negligence.
Getting a "Preacher" project off the ground has long been a favorite among the comic book literati in town, though none has been blessed to see completion. The project was previously set up as a one-hour series at HBO but was put into turnaround. Mark Steven Howard wrote a pilot which Howard Deutch was attached to direct.
A previous movie version, to have been produced by Kevin Smith's View Askew, among others, got to the casting stage, with James Marsden attached for the title role and a reported budget of $25 million.
The new "Preacher" has no writers on board, though Mendes will lead the search while putting the finishing touches on his drama "Revolutionary Road, starring Leonardo DiCaprio and Kate Winslet and due Dec. 26.

The Kind Of Pre-Packaged Hollywood Crap Even The Fox"News" Audience Can Love
Anyone remember the movie Airplane?
How about The Naked Gun?
While those films stand as classic spoofs, the genre has been diluted with so much crap from the Wayans' crew that spoof-flicks just don't really seem to matter than much anymore.
But now, David Zucker - the same guy that made Airplane and The Naked Gun so great - is doing his best to make people who love Fox"News" stop talking so much trash about Hollywood.
Oh, and Bill O'Reilly has a cameo. Great, now he's going to think he's a movie-star.
Here's the trailer:
Seriously, was the script written from outtakes of "Hannity's America"?:
- everyone in the Arab world is named Mohammad
- Micheal Moore is a dumb, flatulant, mass of hair and flesh that hates America
- war protesters are actually hairy "butch" women
- Trace Adkins is fucking awesome
The guys over at 23/6 put it far better than I could:

Looks like we'll have to just wait for the next Hertz commercial to watch Kevin Farley rape his brother's memory some more.
