Caught the trailer for The Mummy: Tomb of the Dragon Emperor at the local home of bazillion screens. Brendan Fraser is really going for the paycheck these days. Gods and Monsters is only faintly visible in the rearview mirror. Even Paul Newman made When Time Ran Out ... but he threw in an occasional winner once in a while. Perhaps Brendan is hanging out with Eddie Murphy.
The real source of my irritation, however, is the scene where multitudes of archers shoot hundreds of arrows and just as they begin their downward arc the scene cuts away. Do you think the arrows fell? This reminds me of the dinosaur movies of the 'fifities when they stuck a frill or two on a lizard and used it twenty times or so. Can anyone tell me when this revolutionary (once) shot was first used? Perhaps anyone directing an epic with a warrior army can search his vast storehouse for an alternative. Bugs Bunny had an interesting variation and that was sixty-five years ago.
