First Summer Movie Trailer

So what if summer 2011 just ended?! It's never too early to start thinking about next summer (my very favorite season, after all)... And here to get you in the mood, the first trailer of Summer 2012! (In which some evil villain does some rather despicable things to our lovely city, I might add.)

An interesting development today as the City says the protesters will no longer be allowed to use tents, sleeping bags or other equipment in the park where they have been encamped up until now. I don't see how they are going to be able to maintain their 24 hour vigil there without such equipment. I didn't know that the park is privately-owned, which is why these regulations can be enforced. So, it looks like they may have to move to a public location... maybe Battery Park?
