I’m going
to go out on a limb and assume at least some of you watched the Super Bowl
a while back. The game itself was…boring
for the best reason (go Hawks), but that’s neither here nor there. The
thing that really keeps people in their seats these days is the Super Bowl
commercials. These ads, which are
important because they are aired during the single most watched event of the
television year, have become an institution in and of themselves and the occasional
movie trailer is no exception.
This year, a
lot of Hollywood’s big players played their hand with their Superbowl
trailers. We had a trailers for Captain America 2: The Winter Soldier, Transformers 4: Age of Extinction and The Lego Movie among others. Also, quick side bar: the aforementioned Lego Movie really is as good as you’ve
heard. You should go see it. Now. I’ll wait.

Anyway, despite the big name trailers throughout the game, like me you may have been
attracted to a short 30 second spot at the beginning of the game. The movie in question looks like some sort of
High Fantasy apocalypse. It’s got
Russell Crowe who is generally decent, Emma Watson who is generally hot, and
it’s directed by Darrin Arronofsky who doesn’t really make bad movies. It’s also got some cool shots in the trailer
like celestial beings falling to Earth and a guy with a fire sword (which is a
statement that I wish could be attributed to more movies in general). But then the title appears and the film’s
name is revealed: Noah. Okay, what?
Where was all of this stuff in Sunday school? It certainly would’ve made things a whole lot
interesting right?
