[Movies] The Upcoming Movies Trailer Thread

Honestly I picked a random date from 2000 to now, looking at that his new stuff looks more like his first handful of comics, but with shinier colors.

His art has evolved, but he's mostly stopped playing games. So other than the occasional WOW comic, it's turned into an "imaginary manchild slice of life" comic.

That's what I meant by "not what it was."
 
It's strange. Even though I very much enjoyed both Despicable Me movies AND that the minions were the best part of both movies, I find myself not really interested in seeing Minions.

Basically this. Like... give me one more movie with Gru (maybe the kids are grown up more and in high school/going to college and it's about letting go of them?) and I think I'm done with the series. It's a great series with great characters, but this is CLEARLY a cash-grab movie and I just can't muster any kind of interest.

It has worked before. But I see your point. Can the movie be more than just a long string of sight gags?

Hey, these warehouses upon warehouses of minions merch isn't going to sell itself!
 
God there is something really wrong with Eli Roth.
Looks like it could sell quite a few DVDs, though.

...cuz I'm guessing most of the people who want to watch this movie aren't gonna want that fact on their Netflix history, so they're going to buy a disc. And then they're gonna watch it once or twice, and then they're gonna get anxious and throw away the DVD. But later they're going to want to watch it again, so they'll have to buy another copy, and the cycle will repeat.

Basically I'm saying it's porn.

Well, there's a comment that guarantees getting people to watch the trailer.[DOUBLEPOST=1432469005,1432468860][/DOUBLEPOST]Aaaand that was fucking stupid.
 
How... how did Keanu manage to make "chocolate with sprinkles" sound even dumber than it already is?

Anyway, I guess it's an all right trailer if that sort of movie is your thing. I'm not a fan of horror films so I won't watch it, but I know there are lots of people who enjoy Eli Roth's oeuvre.

Are you talking about trailer structure? Because these days I think that's pretty hard to fuck up, although this one commits the sin of pretty much showing the whole movie. But I am a fan of horror movies and this doesn't look like a good horror movie, so I'm gonna judge it on that criteria and say it's stupid shit. But you're right, the people Patrthom described will eat it up.

To use this thread for more Mad Max praise--when you hit about the 30 minute, 40 minute mark (hard to tell, the movie goes pretty fast), you've already seen almost everything in the trailer, and still have over an hour of movie left. From first advertising to final credit roll, that whole thing has just been a work of art.
 
Nobody, but seriously if he'd been around today I wager anything he would be just as grating as McCarthy is.
Chris Farley played the same character in every movie he was in for six years. Melissa McCarthy has only been doing that for 4 so far.

Of course, she (and Chris before her) have done lots of -other- stuff before that, but that's where the money is for the moment.

7 movies in 6 years where Farley is the same character (he had bit parts in Wayne's World 1 and 2), also SNL (5 years).

At least 7 movies in 4 years (if you start with Bridesmaids), plus hosting 3 SNL shows.

Obviously in the end this is just my opinion etc etc, but I can't stand her and I hope she just stops making movies for awhile if she can't be bothered to take a role that's not "fat lady that trips and shouts a lot."

I'd also say that scooter falling over would have been just as funny, if not moreso, if it had been Jason Statham doing the toppling.

Hopefully that's not her role in the new Ghostbusters movie, because if I see that shit in the trailer, I'm out.
