I have to admit despite those awesome promotional posters I'm still not completely sold on this movie. The first one just left such a... What's the word? Bland taste in my mouth, I can't really get excited over this one. Hope it's good though!

If anyone wants a high res version, you can go to Apple (that's where I got it from in the first place):

I'm not watching until I get confirmation that there are no spoilers.

^Thanks! I don't know how much of the story you know, so I can't confirm for spoiler free it is for you, but I didn't think there were any. It is a trailer after all.

I have avoided any Cars footage / advertising up until now because of my dislike for the first but I just saw the new trailer and it actually got me excited! Looks like this could be a fun James Bond -esque action comedy as opposed to a nostalgic, homespun homage to Route 66.

^Wow. Is there even any CG in there?

Woah.

At first glance I thought it was an ad for an upcoming Lego video game.

Pretty cool.

Okay, a thought just hit me. You know how you have Formula 1 Drivers who then become NASCAR drivers? How does it work in the car universe when, say, the car equivalent of Nelson Piques joins NASCAR?

Good news! Michael Giacchino's score for Cars 2 will be released on a CD instead of being just limited to mp3. I suspect Disney is only doing this because Cars 2 contains more than a score.

Yeah, five unnecessary pop songs. But if that is what it takes to get Giacchino's score on CD, then so be it. It would be nice if they finally released UP on CD, since that won a freaking Academy Award, but that will probably never be the case

So Weezer is doing a cover of You Might Think?

That was like my favorite song way back when I was, um . . . eight?

Guitarist Brian Bell wrote:When we really dug deep into the song, we saw the genius of the arrangement and how all these relatively simplistic parts worked together to create this amazing fabric of sound. The song is going to play in the scene where Lightning McQueen and Mater go to Japan, which is great for us because it sort of mirrors our experiences in Japan - there was a little bit of culture shock.

And the original group who sang You Might Think - The Cars ... A worship minister at my church made the point why is Weezer doing a song originally done by a band called The Cars given the subject matter of the movie (Cars 2 for those who have been living under a Geico Rock

)...talk about irony

I was thinking the same thing. I've got the original on my iTunes and it was probably my favorite music video way back when we first got MTV because of the cheesy-awesome visuals.

And call me weird, but I actually have a thing for 80's covers.

Hmm. I think I need to say "cheesy-awesome" more often.

For you guys interested in the soundtrack, the NME link had one link of b-roll footage, but there's a whole bunch more of Weezer, Robbie Williams (a personal fave) and Brad Paisley, which you can watch on YouTube below, thanks to The Pixar Blog:
