    Paul Feig tweeted today that this pic was illegally taken on a closed set. If it was someone who worked on the set, I'd imagine it won't be for much longer, if he's caught.

    So many pictures have been tweeted from Feig himself that I didn't think twice about this one being out of the ordinary. Doesn't seem like whoever took it was being shy about it.

    Sure, but at least a trailer gives us a better idea of what to expect than a handful of random pictures.

    Maybe, but some trailers show scenes that aren't even in the movie.

    In fact, forget the trailer.

    Trailers mean two things these days:

    Jack and Shit.

    A few days ago, two trailers were shown for the new Frankenstein movie with Macavoy and Radcliff. One was edited to make the film look like a horror/suspense film, the other made it look like and action/adventure flick with a big dose of humor.

    Editing is the key word there. Judging what a movie might be like from a trailer is like judging what a meal tastes like from a picture; it might look like it tastes a certain way, but you never know untill you eat the actual meal.

    So no, trailers really don't mean jackshit anymore.

    Still do not understand why they kept the rub strip on the door so it runs through the logo. We usually just remove it or apply scrap vinyl over it to complete the image where I work...

    You mean highlighting an inequality in an exceptionally large industry in the hope that maybe in 20 years pictures like these will merely be for fun and not used to illustrate glaring one-sided dominance?

    I don't see what's so bad about it. THere are still a lot of issues with women in Hollywood, so I think it's great to see that there were so many women involved in the production of the movie.

    You know what, I was suckered by the tacked-on headline about telling the "haters to suck it" so I took it as more sour grapes/trolling over the casting which seemed to have died down already. As just an exclamation of "Girl Power" I don't see anything wrong with that in and of itself.

    "I'm ready for Hilary" would be better than "Girl Power" though. Reminding people of the 'Spice Girls' is never a good thing.
