Well, the Elvis trailers make me want to see it. And yet: there is NO director I despise more than Baz Luhrman. I mean: I have a short list of movies I totally despise, and Moulin Rouge is right at the top. I don't even know how to say how much i hated that (and Romeo and Juliet). Anything else with his name on it has caused me to run in the other direction. I probably will see Elvis and be filled with anger and regret, but I have to admit, I sometimes enjoy hating movies. There are many others on your list that sound like I do want to see, particularly Jerry and Marge Go Large, which sounds great.

I don’t know about “finally” for the Mack and Rita age-shifting: Miyazaki did it in Howl’s Moving Castle (the transformation was something like 17 to 70) and she kept flipping back and forth!
