Re: Re(2): RE: [scifinoir2] Re: [OT] Samuel L. Jackson in 'Snakes on a Plane' Trailer
Sorry if it did that for anyone. I had no problem with it. It was, if memory serves, linked to a site called Trailers Again. (don't quote me on that. I'll look into it myself.) I watched the new X-Men movie trailer, the Slither trailer and a few others. Again, no trouble. Still, avoid it until I check for myself. brent wodehouse [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: www.theomenmovie.com is a trojan site. Our Norton software caught the intrusion and blocked it. BEWARE! Brent [EMAIL PROTECTED] writes: Nope. Last week, I was looking at the trailer for the new X-Men flick. On the same page, there was a link, www.theomenmovie.com . Try it for yourself. A Nemo movie, I'd be all over. The former, I didn't like the first time around. brent wodehouse [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: No no no! An 'Omen' remake? Certainly no; there must have been a miscommunication somewhere of some sort. An auditory inversion. Could it possibly be the sequel to 'Nemo' to which you refer? Why endeavour to redo the thing which works standalone? I believe it must be 'Nemo' of which you speak. I'm sure of it. So, then, it's decided. There is to be a second part to the exploits of Nemo. How exciting! I do love the little marine lifeform. Maybe he is to be lost again at sea and thrust into high adventure. What fantastic news, this new film...
