Another MUPPETS teaser; this one’s a superhero parody
Jun 17I’m with Jason Segel‘s character on this one: just show a real trailer. This one isn’t even funny, except for the bit at the end with the Swedish Chef.
Due on New Year’s Day 2012, but those pesky Americans get it in time for that weird turkey festival of theirs. Lucky them.
HARRY POTTER 8, the final trailer: ouch, my Hogwarts
Jun 17To be known retrospectively as ‘the one where everyone dies.’ This trailer shows off a few bits that weren’t in the book, and spoils a few final-act moments that Muggles probably won’t recognise anyway.
Queue up to see Hogwarts enthusiastically dismantled on 13 July (later if you live overseas).
THE HELP trailer: spoilers – white people are racist
Jun 10The Help looks like a pretty straightforward adaptation of the 2009 book of the same name. What I don’t get is why they decided to show the entire freaking movie in the trailer, including character arcs and everything. Golly, I feel like I don’t even need to see the movie at this point.
Due August-ish.
X-MEN FIRST CLASS reviewed
Jun 09A little long but a lot of fun, with magnetic performances and a knockout ending. The franchise is finally back on track.
Our reviews are short. Really short. Deal with it.
Banner bonanza: CONAN THE BARBARIAN edition
Jun 09Not to be outdone, here’s Conan The Barbarian with a paltry 5 posters of his own. Notice how the men are all in action poses, and the women are just standing there looking off-screen. Welcome to fantasy marketing 101.
Also at that link is a poster for that new Girl With The Dragon Tattoo movie, and it shows her naked body, so if you live somewhere where nipples are considered immoral, maybe don’t embiggen that particular picture.
Conan‘s out in August.
