Munich
Apple has posted the trailer to Munich, Steven Spielberg's new film about the hunting down of the 11 Palestinians suspected of kidnapping and murdering 11 Israeli athletes at the 1972 Munich Olympics. This looks like it could be the best Spielberg film in a long, long while. What's especially interesting is that the plot can easily make room for some anti-Israeli sentiments, a controversial step for the director of Schindler's List.

Damn Apple... I don't have Windows XP, 2000 or a Mac. But I want to watch the trailer.
I hate being so far behind on technology.
Argh... doesn't Windows have some movie trailer webpage?
what do you have?
I too don't subscribe to Apple's marketing techniques. Quicktime will not function without iTunes. I repeat, even if you have an older version of Quicktime and even if you download the Quicktime/iTunes combo and later delete iTunes, Quicktime will not work.
I have a new blog now.
I actually watched the trailer and I was not very impressed. The trailer really
did not provide much information about
the movie, and if anything made the movie seem a little boring.
I have Windows ME (mock away).
You deserve it. That's the worst major OS released in the last 10 years.
Yes, I'm aware of that. I unfortunately bought it immediately before the switch to XP. There's not much to be done about it. I'm trying to stall until next Christmas so I can get a Vista computer when that finally comes out.
I saw Jarhead earlier (really good) and Munich was one of the trailers. I had absolutely no idea he was making it, so it really came as kind of a big surprise in terms of subject matter. Based on the trailer, I really can't say I have any idea which way it's going to go. I really hope it has something worthwhile to say.
even though the trailer wants to cover the morality of assassinating assassinators in 2.5 minutes, i highly doubt spielberg has any interest in riling the fiercely zionist contingents of his right-wing pro-israel circles. especially with a screenplay by tony kushner, who admittedly lends the picture left-wing cred, but will still fall on the side of israel in most arguments. eh, we'll see.
ps only idiots use windows me. you are an idiot!
pps please note that in this context, "right-wing" and "left-wing" refer to crappy israeli politics, not crappy american politics.
I thought it was a great trailer, but then again I thought Saving Private Ryan had a great trailer.
Where do Spielberg movies take place? In a world where people must hide indoors from a sun 10x as bright as ours, but have not invented blinds or window shades.
