“My bike (a Raleigh Outback 21-gear bike) was stolen yesterday at about 4pm from a bike rack just across the street from Cineworld on Parnell St (Dublin). It means more to me than its value to me, I’ve had it for almost 15 years!”

Anyone?

The second trailer for the upcoming Neill Blokamp-helmed, Matt Damontastic all-action, sci-fi eyeball-pleaser from Sony Pictures, what sez:

In the year 2159, two classes of people exist: the very wealthy, who live on a pristine man-made space station called Elysium, and the rest, who live on an overpopulated, ruined Earth. The people of Earth are desperate to escape the planet’s crime and poverty, and they critically need the state-of-the-art medical care available on Elysium – but some in Elysium will stop at nothing to enforce anti-immigration laws and preserve their citizens’ luxurious lifestyle. The only man with the chance to bring equality to these worlds is Max (Matt Damon), an ordinary guy in desperate need to get to Elysium. With his life hanging in the balance, he reluctantly takes on a dangerous mission – one that pits him against Elysium’s Secretary Delacourt (Jodie Foster) and her hard-line forces – but if he succeeds, he could save not only his own life, but millions of people on Earth as well.

We’re so there.
