Introducing the Trailer Park
Hey gang, TGIF am I right? Anyway, today I’m introducing a new weekly feature to the site, “Trailer Park”, where we take a look at some of the best (and maybe some of the worst) trailers for upcoming movies. I’ll give my impressions of them and you can share yours in the forum. Ready, ok, here we go.
Iron Man:
Ok, If that doesn’t give you a nerdgasm I don’t know what will. I can’t see anyway this movie will not kick ten kinds of ass. Robert Downey Jr. is a perfect Tony Stark and we finally know who the villain of the movie is, Iron Monger. If you’re not familiar with the comics Iron Monger is a rival industrialist named Obadiah Stane who stole Tony’s Iron Man plans and made his own armor. So yeah, easily one of my most anticipated movies of 08.
Get Smart:
I’m thinking this movie looks pretty good. We at the KAMPC love Steve Carrell (new episodes of The Office are almost here!) and he seems like the perfect Maxwell Smart. Plus it looks like a great supporting cast from people like Alan Arkin, The Rock and Terrence Stamp (KNEEL BEFORE ZOD!!!) and Anne Hathaway.
The Onion Movie:
So what I gather from this trailer is that this is going to be a mix between “Kentucky Fried Movie” and “The Daily Show” where the main part of the movie is fake news stories with some ridiculous movie trailers and commercials thrown in. Of course, I had to put this up because you got Seagal as “Cock Puncher” so that might be worth the price of admission alone. One last thing is that apparently this movie is going straight to video so hopefully that isn’t a reflection of quality.
That’s it for this week, I guarantee we will have Bill and Ted next week to close out 80’s month in style.
Exclusive: Rob Schneider is…
We’ve made the joke a bunch of times on the show but if you’re not sure where the reference comes from then check out the following video. Matt Stone and Trey Parker show why they are the best in the business of satire and parody as they expose the formula of Rob Schneider’s movies.
Bonus: Superbad DVD Extra
It took a lot of pondering and contemplating, but we finally hammered out 15 whopping categories for our Kick Ass Awards. One category I considered was the “Best DVD Extra”, which would be chock-filled with fantastic DVD extras from 2007’s DVD releases. My choice would be “Everyone Hates Michael Cera”, from the Superbad DVD. It’s pretty much seven minutes of Michael Cera acting like an annoying teenager and everyone yelling at him about it. It’s amazing awkward comedy.
So enjoy our last post of 2007 with the following video clip, brought to you by Stage6. You’ll need the DivX Web Player to view the high-definition clip.
Bonus: Home Alone 1+2 Trailers
Think of these videos as your holiday bonus. Get it?? Okay, I’ll leave the comedy to the professionals: the Wet Bandits Harry and Marv from “Home Alone”. Who would’ve thought that Joe Pesci and Daniel Stern would be perfect slapstick partners? Watch the evidence below in the trailers:
Bonus: Fireball’s Death on The Running Man
NFL MVP running back Jim Brown makes an brief appearance in “The Running Man” as the stalker Fireball. His powers are, you guessed it: fire. Armed with a jet-pack and flame-throwers, Fireball is no match for Ben Richards who is quick to put out his flame. Also, watch Jesse Ventura flex his muscles as Captain Freedom. And who could forget those awesome Arnold one-liners?
