Despicable.Me
Check out Despicable.Me! For many reasons. It promises to be another great animation movie. Yet, from the domaining point of view - it is revolutionary too.
Their web site is flashy indeed. Then, they did not go for DespicableMeMovie.com. Just reserved it. Yes, they did buy DespicableMe.com too, smart guys, are they not? Though the latter forward you to, guess where? Yes, Despicable.Me!
Now, the question is, how much buzz will they create before and after 9 July 2010?
For more information about the movie check: IMDB, GGL, or YouTube.
