This was kinda rad

http://www.hulu.com/the-confession

Web series of 10 episodes, about 6 minutes each. It wasn't amazing, but I enjoyed it. I think the short format was part of the experience though. I might actually suggest you DON'T sit and watch it all together. For those worried that it's some sort of religious thingie... it ain't.

It's not often I get to use this tag....

Originally created for the Wolverine trailer, "HE JUMP ON HELICOPTER" is my favorite dumb blog tag to try to use, usually in only mildly appropriate ways.

Today, however, is the real fuckin' deal.



(and incidentally, no relation to the Marky Mark/Tim Burton shitfest)

Super

This has come up in a few conversations recently. Indie film. Superhero theme. Sort of.

Check the trailer out. I think it starts out a touch slow but by the end I was thinking I'd like to see it.

BETTER

Oh, the CGI needs cleaning up, as will surely happen, but this footage is about a hundred times better than the teaser trailer.

Uh oh...

Full trailer for The Hangover II posted. Maybe I'm just in a harsh mood, but having seen more of what it's about, I'm getting a distinctly "Harold and Kumar Go to Guantanamo Bay" vibe.

I thought it was pretty rad

not like uber rad, but still pretty rad. Shawn Ryan (The Shield), Jason Clarke (Brotherhood), Delroy Lindo (Kidnapped) are all names that make me wanna be excited and hope for a move up from pretty to uber though

aaaaand it's on hulu, so there's actually a chance I'll watch it




On a side note, Red Shoe Diaries is also on hulu now. If you wanna see some soft core skinimax as narrated/introduced by Agent Mulder, now ya can!

X-Men: First Class trailer

The facts:

*from the director of KICK-ASS and STARDUST
*focus on Xavier and Magneto in their younger days
*60s period piece
*lots of weird choices for the mutants, none of them traditional (for instance, no Cyclops; I guess he's not a founding X-Man in the movieverse)




I like the trailer pretty well. I like that they're doing something different. Just not sure about the mutants they've chosen...

THOR trailer hits



And poster! He's so dreamy...

I don't know if Pineapple Express ended up being good...

...but here's a red band trailer of the new fantasy movie from the same guys. Definitely worth at least a few laughs. Plus: Natalie Portman and Zooey Deschanel.


MONSTER MASH-UP: THE SEQUEL (iPod shuffle challenge!)

This worked out awesomely last year, so let's do it again! You remember the deal: you're scoring the trailers for several upcoming horror movies, so put your iPod or MP3 player of choice on shuffle and post the first song you hit for each trailer. That song is the centerpiece of the trailer, and you should write a few lines about how it'd fit the trailer or where it kicks in. Does it make it a comedy? Does it make it a teen movie? A freaky foreign flick? Follow the link to last year's challenge for bitchin' examples.

Here're the new trailer concepts:

1) Haunted House
2) Mad Scientist
3) The Devil!
4) Creepy Aliens
5) SEQUEL! (Choose one of your movies from last year and score its sequel trailer. Pick the movie first, then hit shuffle - no cheats! If you didn't participate last year, your trailer topic is...MUMMY!)

Reminder: You might want to skip the orchestral stuff to avoid being too on the nose and go with mainly pop music.

"You cannot escape us..."

A new trailer for the H.P. Lovecraft Historical Society's adaptation of "The Whisperer in Darkness" is online:



Highlights include a working brain cylinder and several glimpses of the pseudo-crustaceous Mi-Go.

Sadly, this won't be an October 2010 release as originally planned; it looks like they're hoping to wrangle a TV or theatrical deal next year.

I'm petitioning ThinkGeek to start selling brain cylinders. And Red Lobster to add "pseudo-crustaceous" to their menu descriptions.
