Rise of the Silver Surfer

For those of you reading the Star Clipper blog on a regular basis I bet there are very few of you who will actually admit that you are looking foward to the Fantastic Four movie sequel Rise of the Silver Surfer. Well, i'll admit it, I am eagerly anticipating this movie, and I think I have a reason to get you onboard as well. Just check out the movie teaser trailer that just got released!

Thats right, Silver Surfer looks totally Boss! And you thought the producers weren't going to be able to get past the Surfer's silvery homo-erotic image. How wrong you were. In fact, he kind of reminds me of the bad-ass T-1000 from Terminator 2: Judgement Day, you know the one that gave Governor Schwarzenegger all those problems.

I know there are also a lot of you out there who don't know anything about the Silver Surfer, or think there is no good reason to care about him, and I urge you to reconsider and check him out. He is actually one of Marvel's most misunderstood and somber characters, and in my opinion, one of Stan Lee's personal best.

So I'm going to keep pushing this trailer to those Fantastic Four haters that just can't get over the first movie, which I actually liked, and hopefully more of you will become curious about the Surfer's power cosmic.

And for good measure, here are a few other comic movie trailers that should get your motor runnin, including one for my other favorites:

Ghost Rider
Spider-Man 3
Frank Miller's 300

Happy viewing.
