Just 6 Days Until We're All Legally Required To See Slumdog Millionaire

Here's the full trailer for the movie everyone's going to be asking everyone else if they've seen "yet" after it opens on November 12: Danny Boyle's much-anticipated, much-praised Slumdog Millionaire. Even the trailer gives me a mini-freakout of joy, so I think this one is an opening nighter:

Slumdog Millionaire will pay your taxes and your mortgage.

Swap em all out for white people and then where are we? I accept that this *might* be a great movie, but don't put me down for $12 yet

The game show host in this movie is Anil Kapoor, one of my favorite Bollywood actors from back when I had favorite Bollywood actors. He starred in a movie called 'Mr. India,' in which he had superpowers, a heart of gold, and crazy sweet dance moves. You can watch it in 18 parts on YouTube. You're welcome.

Also, 'Slumdog' already looked good, but Sigur Rós just makes everything look even better.

I met Anil Kapoor last week! He was nice and very grand, and looked exactly like he did in the movie - like a shiny game show host. The movie is awesome by the way.

Anything can look epic when it's set to Hoppipolla.

Anything.

Probably going to see this if it manages to expand all the way out to Central Mass.

I PEE GOLD

True, but this is a great film I caught a pre screening and it was awesome. Its one of the most heart warming movies I've seen besides like, Lars and The Real Girl.

I saw this movie a few weeks ago and as I walked out, totally grinning, I thought, "now I've seen the best movie of the year." Then I started calling everyone I know to remind them they had to see this movie when it comes out. This movie makes me happy movies as an art form exist. For serious.

I fear this election has reduced us all to crying emotionbags. And I don't want it to end. Slumdog, you may have my heart. You too, Hoppípolla.

I just saw this tonight. It was fantastic-seriously, go see it. NOW.

This movie is going to be huge, it was perfect-the story, the camerawork, the acting-it was all superb.
