I think I just threw up in my mouth.

Spielberg’s new movie trailer for “War Horse” sure looks suspiciously like this one. Why doesn’t everyone find it disheartening that Spielberg’s tired myth-building continues to win accolades?

Other than intellectual slothfulness, is there any reason for these two trailers to be so identical? “Batman” was released in 1989. “The Dark Knight” is scheduled for July of this year.

Overall though, who’s the sucker? I’m totally going to see “The Dark Knight” anyways. I want that nostalgia. It was good the first time. It will probably be good the second time too.

Once again, kudos to Coudal for the pointer.
