Welcome to Salty Popcorn - my site dedicated to expressing my opinion on films. Most of the reviews I read in the paper make me angry that they are either all so negative or I completely disagree with them. So now it's my turn. I hope you enjoy it and if you do sign up for updates on the left hand side. Thanks for stopping in!! Also, be sure to check out my other blogs www.sydneytable.com and http://www.orble.com/total-randomness/ PLEASE NOTE: My scoring of films is now based on an "Out of 10" score. The meeting of two personalities is like the contact of two chemical substances: if there is any reaction, both are transformed. Carl Jung (1875 - 1961)

: Looks Good!!
Category: Trailers
After being deemed unfit for military service, Steve Rogers volunteers for a top secret research project that turns him into Captain America, a superhero dedicated to defending America's ideals.

Chris Evans, Hayley Atwell, Hugo Weaving, Captain America


I like it a lot - I don't love it but I am excited and I am stunned with what they did to Chris Evans - him I DO like!! It looks a lot like Ben Button special effects to make him so dweeby until he turns into Captain America.

Chris Evans, Hayley Atwell, Hugo Weaving, Captain America


Slot it in for July 22nd this year.

This trailer was a lot better then the super bowl teaser.

And I'm excited! It looks great! Not super fantastic, but great!

And yea, Chris Evans is sure easy on the eyes.

I think we completely agree on this on SA - never saw the Superbowl one. It looks a bit like Iron Man - I don't know much about the comic but it could be good. Here's hoping - they keep milking the superheroes again and better be careful - eventuality one of them will fall flat on its butt.

How is your transition from 35mm to DIG going in the projection rooms? We are halfway through all our cinemas. I fear the day of the projectionist is coming to an end.

I'm a huge comic book fan! And actually, Capt. is my favorite. If there is a dud in the bunch, I hope It isn't this one. There are things about it that have me worried though. Keeping my fingers crossed.

It kinda makes me sad that the projectionist is becoming extinct. I actually moved from that little town and alas am no longer a projectionist (2 years was a good run). I miss it, one of the best jobs!

I'm pretty sure that the small theater I was at won't be getting digital projectors anytime soon. They don't really make a lot of money so they can't afford the digital ones. If there comes a day when all movies are digital then that theater may just shut down.

How's the transition going for you guys?

You know I have NEVER read a comic book. I started on Watchmen but didn't like it and will get shot because "IT'S NOT A COMIC BOOK - IT'S A GRAPHIC NOVEL" Blah blah blah lol

That is such a shame you left the cinema - once a projectionist.......... I actually left cinemas for 5yrs and ended up back there - it kind of stays in the blood and one of the things I really like is working with all the younger people - they make me feel younger

A lot of the cinemas are now being subsidised for digital projectors by the studios. A European country - I wish I could remember (I think maybe Greenland) has a policy that every person has the right to have a cinema a certain distance that is accessible from them - and to make things better the government paid for every conversion to DIGITAL. This slowed our conversion down as they ordered about 2000 projectors.

Australia is going well - my company is 1/4 of the way through it's 1000 or so screens. The standard projectionist is becoming extinct that is for sure but the DIG is opening more doors into the DIG side with more projectionist/ IT positions becoming available with lots of training - fingers crossed - I am applying for all of them

Take Care
