Wait, doesn't Durza tortures Arya? And technically, sticking pins into someone is torture so...I guess that makes sense.

He does torture her, but PINS? I mean, I sort of thought along the lines of medieval torture, you know? And from the book it sounds as though there was some whipping involved, so pins doesn't seem to fit...

Still... I hope they don't show much torture at all. *shudders*

I'm with you, Altariel Frodo. Not much of an intense/violent-movie watcher.
The new trailers are pretty neat...I just hope that the acting is good enough to make the failures of interpretation bearable.

Kudos to Kitoky for the fabulous signature set, and art credit to engelszorn.

Does anyone else think that one shot of Arya doing SOMETHING weird and high-kick-like is quite odd??
EDIT: I just watched more trailers - baby Saphira is ADORABLE! And I love Eragon's "Look at you!" line. It's so cute

*listens to Eragon credits song*
It's too pop-y. Don't like Avril's voice.

I agree, but it could have been a whole lot worse, don't you think? I mean, it's a pretty good song (for Avril) other than the fact that it doesn't totally work with the movie.

Yea, it could have been worse - but it could have been a heck of a lot better, too! And the lyrics/theme of the song...or at least the chorus...it totally isn't relevant to Eragon in particular; it could basically be applied to ANY movie with any semblance of conflict and heroism in it. At least the songs in the LotR credits were RELEVANT.
*thwacks Avril and filmmakers with fish*

I don't like the song as an Eragon song at all. I like it as a song on it's own, even though I don't like Avril's voice at all. I'm just taking it totally seperate from Eragon... because where in the world did pop and Eragon cross anyway? Makes no sense.

Maybe when Arya put on a strapless top and Eragon acquired leather pants?
Look on the bright side - at least she's not IN the movie! I think it's a nice song, even if it's not relevant.
Did anyone else notice that there are no trailer shots of Arya unconscious or anything? She stays like that for a pretty good portion of the book, I hope they haven't cut it...

There are shots of her unconscious when she's still a captive, but none of her after Eragon rescues her and she's still unconscious...I'm betting that's what you're talking about...  I maintain that the filmmakers probably want to make the mind-to-mind conversations live action and keep unconscious-elf-princess to a minimum  It makes the audience nice and sympathetic toward her when she's held captive, but not as much so after she's rescued.

*laughs* NO KIDDING!
^I hope they don't have too many mental conversations... the more time Arya's unconcious, the better.

Why, I wonder? I think unconscious-elf-princess would get lots of sympathy, myself. Maybe mind-to-mind conversations would be hard to film, though.

Well, I've finally caught up watching all those trailers!  So many new ones, I think my favorite is definitely the Japanese one, it's so nifty and plus Angela is in it!  She sounds cool, but I disapprove of her costume, and she has a nose ring...I always imagined Angela as earthy, I think Tim4x or someone said that, and I definitely agree. Oh well, I guess my Angela problems are like everyone elses Arya problems  Oh well....
And the whole Avril Lavigne thing, I disapprove  I'd imagine that song for a teenie-bopper movie or something...I would rather prefer some instrumental music or something. Oh well, I guess all we can do is rant..
Ooo, Baby Saphira is sooo cute!  I just want to give her a hug! Hehe I'm excited for the movie to come out, even if it strays from the book a bit...
