Rhapsodies

Let’s start this by saying outright that I’m very much a fan of Guillermo del Toro‘s work. Even his mediocre films or the throw away projects that he participated in for the fun of it are well worth watching. I enjoy his commentary on his DVDs and he’s on my short list, along with Alan Moore, of creators I genuinely would like to know. Not out of general geekiness but because you just know you could spend hours talking with them on any conceivable topic.

So every time I hear he’s working on something new I get excited. For example his upcoming experiment with the Kaiju genera, Pacific Rim. I liked the two teasers and now that the actual trailer has come out I am majorly psyched. It looks good. I’d heard that part of it was a recycling of some of the plans for a scrapped live action Evangelion movie that Weta was doing concept design for.  Having liked what I saw for that project it’s nice to see it’s not going entirely to  waste.

Anyway this looks good. As far as my own personal tastes go it’s seems just a little retro but I’s obviously a creative choice so that’s okay. Hope you all enjoy it.
