If you can only see one trailer for the flick, let it be this one"

I knew this would happen, I just saw it and now I just wanna watch it again.  Now i gotta wait for the proper theatrical release.

I don't want to get into the details of it, I really don't want to spoil it for anyone, but god d*mn this is a movie to dissect and analyze.  At the very least, we're definitely going to see a lot of what I'm calling "Kingsman Kinetic" style in the future.

Well that looks entertaining, but more importantly refreshing.

You have no idea.  Seeing it with a packed audience reminded me of Kick-Ass, that sense that there was this awesome, gutsy movie that actually existed and we were seeing it.  And the fact that it's the same pairing of talent is a big reason for that, I think: I'm not nuts about all the details in all his books, but Mark Millar has a real talent for taking a mainstream idea and pushing it into an interesting and extreme area, and Matthew Vaughn is able to not just express it incredibly well visually, but to do so with dry humour and a style that takes some of the edge of.  Any other director and this movie would be brutal and cold, but it doesn't.

Glad you had fun. I use to go to a lot of pre-screenings for movies and the atmosphere was always electric with the crowds. I miss those days.
