Signs a movie is probably *not* going to suck.

Vin Diesel mixed some of his blood into the red ink used to print the posters.

Directed by David Fincher.

- Written by Charlie Kaufman.

Hell Yes!

My two cents-

(Cent 1) The following four words are not anywhere on the movie marquee, poster, and trailer: DIRECTED BY MICHAEL BAY.

(Cent 2) The movie trailer teases you with some good stuff, but leaves you with the knowledge that it didn't even begin to hint at all the great stuff the film is jammed to the gills with. Unlike most movie trailers, which spoil every plot twist/joke/scare in their 30 second-to-one-minute running time. Less is more.

Doesn't star any of the usual 'playing themselves in yet another movie" players....i.e., Tom Cruise, et al.

Has a lower budget, generally.

One or more of my close friends wants to see it more than once, and offers to take me.

Nothing against the dogs. It was the embarrassingly weak romantic comedy that I didn't dig.

Chloe Sevigny

directed by Jim Jarmusch = guaranteed great film

I couln't agree with you moore with John Cusack

Girls kissing. I'll go see anything if there's girls kissing in it.

Nonsense. Operation Dumbo Drop never happened...

my god, you're right

It has Steve Buscemi or John Turturro in it.

Wait, was he in tha-- DAMMIT, I HAD REPRESSED THAT YOU JERK!

Van Damme does the splits in it at least five times.

The script writer never had to ask him/herself..."Now...how can I fit in the main character's lame-ass catch phrase?"

You sure about that, Capitán?
