Corona Reboot

On 7.21 Patrick Sauriol, webmaster of the legendary Coming Attractions website which ruled from the mid '90s to the early 21st Century, announced a re-launch of the site -- Coming Attractions 2.0. He said it would be up and rolling within 30 days or so. It's now five months later, and a Beta version is finally up and rolling.

What's missing at this stage is new information inside the Movie Database. Sequential backstage histories of this and that film is mainly what I used to visit CA for in the old days. I remember going to CA over and over when I worked at People from '96 to '98 -- everyone in the office who covered any aspect of the film business did. If you want this kind of thing now (i.e., possibly reliable traces of the sometimes dirty skinny about any given film, early screening reactions, early location photography) you go to the IMDB commenters, among other options.

Corona Coming Attractions was the first movie website I got obsessed with.

I'd love to see him archive the original site. It was always fun to go through a very long page of updates and rumors after the film came out to see how accurate they were. Their updates on The Phantom Menace ranged from the accurate to the absurd.

Wow, this brings back some memories. I recall first reading about Being John Malkovich on CCA and thinking how cool it was that the guy who filmed all of the skateboard videos I loved as a kid was directing a movie. Great site and I’m glad it returning.

I love IMDB, but I dislike some of the comments there. Stupid comments made by stupid yuppies going, "omg she's soooo ugly," or "omg she's become sooo fat..."

yeah and?

The IMDB's comments section is largely populated by 14 year olds. It's worthless.

More like retarded 14 year olds, but why split hairs?

You need the kiev escort girls who can make you a competent erotic massage. Such a massage is a wonderful process that is done with the assistance of a woman's body but not only with the fingers. You will sense each part of her wonderful body.
