HAPPY'S PROFILE

author=Deltree
The Rogue One trailer had me until the halfway point when that poor goat got his head stuck in that fence.

Oh god, you had to ruin it for the rest of us too, didn't you? I can't get that image out of my head now.

Other than that, I really like the tone I get from that trailer.

Last thing I went to see was Zootopia and it was really good. I'm considering of going to go see the new Jungle Book next, just as "an experience", even though I don't anticipate the movie to be more than mediocre.

My friends want to go to see the Warcraft movie in the summer, but man it looks just so bad.
