From The Riverfront Times blog DailyRFT about the recently St. Louis-filmed George Clooney flick:

The first local press screening of the Jason Reitman/George Clooney film Up In the Air – perhaps the most eagerly anticipated movie in St. Louis since that flick about the World’s Fair — happened this morning at the Tivoli in the Delmar Loop.

While we’ve been asked by the PR company to withhold any reviews or features until the theatrical release in December, it can’t hurt to share a few first impressions with you, loyal Daily RFT readers.

They go on to say that you really don’t see much of St. Louis in the movie, which isn’t much of a surprise.  They just filmed it here, the damn thing isn’t supposed to be based in St. Louis.  They also say that the movie is funny and George Clooney is sexy.

I know, these are all totally shocking statements.

It doesn’t really matter because we at Punching Kitty are totally over this movie now and are gaga for the new(er) George Clooney movie: The Fantastic Mr. Fox!

It has nothing to do with St. Louis at all, but it looks awesome!  The trailer is embedded below.  We do with there was at least one kitty in the movie though.

Is that Chris Files, host of The Toast which is the diamond in the rough that is ToastedRav.com, in the new Up in the Air trailer walking behind star George Clooney?

It sure is!

Things are looking good for Files to make it in to the final cut of the movie when it drops November 13th which is pretty cool…I’m sure it wasn’t as much of a thrill as it was working with me doing Don’t Puke videos, but still, pretty exciting.

George Clooney came to town and filmed it, and you probably know at least two people that made it as an extra (and about four others that tried) and now its finally getting close to hitting the big screens.

The Up In The Air trailer is here so now the world can see Lambert Airport in all its …um…glory!

…wait, this isn’t a movie about the worst airport ever that takes place in the 70′s?  God St. Louis must be cheap to film in.
