Work is never a picnic, that’s why they call it work.

Fortunately for me I have an active fantasy life, one in which Jenn and I actually see first-run movies in theaters. With popcorn. Lots and lots of tubs of buttered popcorn.

So in the event I ever see the interior of a theater (or feel it’s welcoming stickiness underneath my feet), here are the previews that have whet (whetted?) my appetite:

No Country For Old Men
Coen Brothers, terrific cast, creepy villain who looks like a genetic splice of Lurch and Dora the Explorer. Sign me up.

There Will Be Blood
P.T. Anderson and Daniel Day Lewis

I Am Legend
Post-apocalyptic Will Smith and Zombies. Sure, “I, Robot” sucked, but maybe if Smith doesn’t have cast-members to mug against, it’ll be OK.

Show me the way to the box office.
