Movie Trailers Getting Us Excited



Two For Grace: Just a well done trailer. Any thoughts, ya big pile of Noop? Anything coming out you are excited for by trailer alone?

Noop: Outstanding trailer, that is, and it has just the right amount of Josh Brolin for a movie that doesn't have Josh Brolin. Everything being said about that movie makes it more and more enticing. And everyone knows putting slowed down Gnarls Barkley on a video really accentuates the funk. Lord knows I like some funk.

Recently I've been trying to watch trailers as little as possible to keep the scenes fresh upon full viewing but some are so out of this world that you can't help but watch it 50 times. For me that happened with both The Interview and Kingsman: The Secret Service. The redband for The Interview is worth a watch, too.



TFG: This is the first I've seen or heard of Kingsman. With a trailer like that I can't not see it. 

Noop: While we're talking trailers, I'd like to refer back to my recent praise of Marvel trailers and how they purposefully mislead you. I hope these follow that practice. 

TFG: "They call themselves "Guardians of the Galaxy..." but really they don't, nor are they officially any sort of team(until the very end of the movie). Or how 'bout the life and death of Helicarrier 42?


Noop: Preceisely. Although, there was that small quinnjet (or whatever they are called) that had number 42 on it. Either way, I'm hoping its all one big call back to Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy. And for good measure let's include the teaser from that movie too. 


TFG: I had never heard of The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy before seeing that trailer. What an awesome introduction. I went out and bought the book series soon after seeing that trailer alone.

Either the Avengers: Age of Ultron teaser was just leaked or Disney is making a live action Pinicchio



Two For Grace: Well this is making its way around the internet now.

Noop: Way to go world wide net, now next week's Agents of SHIELD just lost the little ratings bump it would have had all so we can see Tony Stark suffocating as the Invincible Iron Russian Doll one week early. 




TFG: There's actually a cute, baby iron man underneath that armor. Also, how much ballet should we be looking forward to in this movie (as seen in the 1:35 mark)? Perhaps Natalie Portman will be reprising her Black Swan role?


Avengers: Step Up

Noop: The crossover we've always dreamed of but been too ashamed to express. On a different point, can't believe Ruffalo is back after that train wreck job he did in Iron Man 3. Was hoping for Norton or Bana to return. I mean, I know the film will be solid but the dialogue is going to be capitalism at full throttle with a Disney reference here and a Star Wars joke there. This is less exciting than John Carter of Mars Needs Moms. And right at the top, we're just gonna ignore the blatant Terminator hand in lava while a noncommittal Bane voice gives a typical villain monologue? Buh. I bet the Avengers win. 

Seen at the 0:18 mark
TFG: Oh and how about this white haired speedster? Look familiar?
Fox's X-Men franchise called. They want their characters back.

Noop: Is that Flash? I'd rather go eat a quiche at a DMV than watch yet another slow moed quickster be the most underused part of a bloated plot. The most disappointing part is that there will be more climactic city destruction. I can only hope Marvel finds the courage to make Marvel One Shot: Disgruntled Construction Crew. Wonder who gets avenged this time, I mean, they could kill Coulson again. (Spoiler alert for those mythical few who've yet to see the first Avengers.)

TFG: I'm going to see this movie 14 1/2 times in theaters when it comes out.

Noop: 10:00 am opening duhay please.
