Boom boom boom, now let me hear you say trailers. TRAILERS! There’s some good ones this week, boys. There’s another Spider-Man trailer, which, I mean, right? But more importantly there is the Jeremy Renner Bourne Legacy reboot, high-five, and also the Steve Carrell end of the world romantic comedy. Soooooo, yeah, NOT A BAD HAUL. (Someone please make a haul video about these trailers and post it in the comments. Thanks.)
Seeking a Friend for the End of the World
If you will allow me to indulge myself for a moment, which I have never done before, and I think we can all agree that “self-indulgent” is the last word anyone would EVER use to describe anything on Videogum, but I was kind of annoyed by all the production update news on this movie for very specific reasons that I’m not going to share with you because they’re none of your business, but mysteries are fun, so you’re allowed to guess and/or search for the Presidents’ Book of Secrets on this one, but just know that I was NOT happy about this movie being made. But this trailer actually looks pretty good and funny. I’m on board now. Still annoyed for the reasons that I cannot disclose to you, which makes this a very important paragraph to write and publish in a public forum. But good trailer. OK.
The Bourne Legacy
YES. THAT’S ALL I HAVE TO SAY. YES. I DO THINK THAT WEIRD SHOULDER PUNCH HE DOES WHERE HE JUST PUNCHES YOU WITH THE FRONT OF HIS SHOULDER IS KIND OF FUNNY BUT I’LL LET IT SLIDE AND THIS LOOKS GREAT. I’ve always said that the other entries in the Bourne series were great, but one of the main problems was the obvious inconsistencies in Treadstone and if we could just have a Treadstone without the inconsistencies then LOOK OUT.
The Amazing Spider-Man
Fact: this is the new Amazing Spider-Man trailer.
Osombie: The Axis of Evil Dead
Ugh. Fuck this. The only way this movie could be worse is if Osama Bin Laden was a vampire with a crush on a moody teenager.
Take This Waltz
“Imagine Blue Valentine if it wasn’t a total fucking nightmare. Now double it.” (Note: I really enjoyed Blue Valentine. In part BECAUSE it was a total fucking nightmare.) This looks cute. Also Sarah Polley directed it? The lady from SPLICE?! Ooooh, make me feel Splice!

As a Mayan god Gabe is unhappy about how Seeking A Friend dealt with the apocalypse is my guess for the vague cagey secret
Hmmm… the director of Looking for a Friend is also the screenwriter of Nick and Norah’s Infinite Playlist.

I think his new acting roles in music videos led him to believe he was getting a part and then it went to Steve Carrell instead. I’d much rather see Gabe in this role, if only because it’s an interesting concept but I do not enjoy think Carrell is very good at carrying a film — he is best in an ensemble production. Gabe, however, would have been great. Gabe4remake.
Maybe it was like that but with writing, not acting?
Cagey? Is that a hint? Like Nic Cage was supposed to be in it? Because I’LL WATCH THE SHIT OUT OF ANY NIC CAGE APOCALYPSE MOVIE. Except Knowing, that was terrible.
I just read Gabe’s review of Nick & Nora and he broke down literally everything I hated about that movie… and reminded me that Jay Baruchel was in it…
Jay Baruchel was also in a movie with Nicolas Cage that ALSO TOOK PLACE IN NEW YORK!!!
Things are piecing together nicely on my wall board that is titled “Why Is Gabe Angry?” I might have to go get more string. Very exciting stuff!!
I bet it’s related to Keira Knightly, but he feels guilty because she’s a perfectly fine young actress, but my god she’s like a contrivance android who’s CPU has been reset from read only and is now learning new ways to be contrived in, though generally she’s very nice and there’s little factual basis for such thought!
“‘I’m on board now.’ -Gabe Delahaye” will probably be a prominently featured quote in Seeking A Friend’s second trailer.
Hahaha
OK, can we get some confirmation on this, was that Keira Knightley making out with Gillian Jacobs in the End Of The World trailer? IMPORTANT BUSINESS.
Yes
Also worth mentioning, apparently Sarah Silverman gets naked in a scene with Michelle Williams in Take This Waltz. Do with this news what you will… sinner.
fantastic gif
mmmmmmm
delicious
“I want an english muffin!”
i don’t know what’s going on here but i like it.

I like Sarah Polley. I would Go see any movie she directs.
Sarah Polley is amazing! And she wrote/directed Away From Her, so.. Splice that.
And she’s blacklisted from Disney for protesting the first Gulf War.
Supersonic, idionic, disconnected, not respected. Who would really wanna go and Splice that?
I like Sarah Polley. I would root for her in a fantasy street brawl between her and Keira Knightley.
I’m going to assume Gabe was up for the Keira Knightly role and is pissed that he didn’t get it.
It wasn’t Gabe, it was Birdie.
Are you saying Gabe is annoying?! *puts his fists up and moves them like he’s turning a winch*
Rule #1 for improving movie trailers: Just add Talking Heads.
SEEKING A FRIEND THOUGHTS:
a) If you’re going to name your film after a line from a song (I’m assuming this is what they did, right? It’s not just the world’s stupidest coincidence?) then why on Earth would you not then use even a tiny portion of that song in your trailer? That just seems like a really stupid business decision.
b) Keira Knightley is in this film (first point against) and seems to be affecting a slightly distorted and very grating version of her real accent (second point against), soooo I won’t be watching this one anyway and don’t need to form any opinions beyond this.
SPIDER-MAN THOUGHTS:
I think this trailer actually looks pretty good. And what do you know, they do seem to be telling a story that isn’t the story of the other films, so sort of well done to the tagline guys I guess? The swinging, fighting, etc. looks fluid and fun, the whole affair looks less high camp than Raimi’s and Andrew Garfield is a good actor and does some nice wisecracking here so I will probably see this at some point I think? If not at the cinema then very shortly after it is released on DVD.
THOUGHTS ON EVERYTHING ELSE:
Who gives a shit.
Thanks for listening!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Muse rocks forever neva 4get.
Kira Knightly’s pretty
YOU’RE pretty.
Also, I feel I probably wouldn’t look twice at her if she was in the street and double also I tend not to look twice at her when she’s in movies either and third “also” people being pretty doesn’t have a lot of bearing on my judgment of them as an actor so I’m still allowed to dislike her even if I did agree with you on the looks front so get off my freakin’ back WINWOOD.
I thought the same thing when a saw the trailer for Season of the Witch (that Nic Cage movie) several months ago. Uh, how are you not going to play Donovan during the trailer for that movie? It confused the hell outta me.
I want Steve Carrell to kiss me and I think Kiera Knightly is adorable. I think the Spiderman trailer looks like a waste of time. I think any movie with Michelle Williams and Sarah Silverman is likely going to draw me in.
Well yeah obviously Michelle Williams is fantastic always. I definitely give a shit about her and the stuff she does, so I will add that post script to my original sweeping declaration. (Still not watching that Marilyn film ever though.Sorry Michelle!)
Talkin’ ’bout films.
What’s that movie that has the trailer that shows all the good scenes in it?
I don’t think I can watch Seeking A Friend without spending the whole movie thinking “people wouldn’t do that at the end of the world.” I might have to try my reciepe for when I’m dragged to twilight movies of booze, booze, and more booze.
Or watch something else. It depends what’s happening on the internet.
Ah depends on what’s happening on the internet, I missed you.
Also, re: Seeking a Friend – it looks like a feel-goodier version of Don McKellar’s Last Night. In fact some sequences from the trailer alone look like blatant rip-offs. The “Wear your casual clothes” workplace-in-the-face-of-end-of-days is straight up rippo-offo. Yikes.
I’d rather watch Melancholia 12 more times. How many more end of the world movies are they going to try and force on us?
Can we get a little deconstruction of that Osama zombie movie? I thought Gabe was joking when he mentioned Osama, but that shows how much I know. Maybe I’m being overly sensitive, but doesn’t turning him into a silly zombie kind of demean the real horror of 9/11? Maybe that’s what pop culture does, (Captain America and Red Skull, etc.) but this seems particularly weird and jarring. Just me?
I remember when the Red Skull was introduced in the comics people were outraged because it demeaned the true horror that was the reign of the real Red Skull.
I actually hear what you’re saying, but Osama has been depicted in entertainment pretty much immediately after 9/11. South Park almost instantaneously did an episode where they depicted Cartman as a Bugs Bunny-esque character with Osama as Elmer Fudd. Then 10 years later they did an episode where Randy Marsh enlists Osama and the Taliban to help America take out the cast of the Jersey Shore by flying planes into them (and then a SEAL member blows out Osama’s brains at the end of the episode). When Tina Fey hosted SNL right after Osama was killed they did a Little Mermaid skit with his body floating around. The list goes on and on.
I think using Evil Dead in the title of a project not starring Bruce Campbell demeans us all.
Much better Osama zombie movie (just a trailer)…

I kinda feel the same way (not that i’m advocating censorship or anything), but at the same time I feel that the “serious” 9/11 movies like extremely loud and the WTC one with Nic Cage creep me out a bit more for some reason.
Blue Valentine 2: Electric Blue-galoo
I really hope Andrew Garfield isn’t going to be fighting with his mask off for more than half the movie, unless he’s also fighting with his shirt off.
i have to say it…the idea of the world ending in 3 weeks is way too horrifying to even think about. When she said “i’m never going to see my family again” I got way too sad for any movie, but especially a comedy.
To be fair, she very much resembles a preying mantis, so her family probably wasn’t going to live that long with or without an apocalypse.
I’m pretty ughh whatever I guess I’ll go see it about Spiderman. All the Avengers teasers and trailers and extra stuff at ends of movies have been like “WHOAAAA SO EXCITING”, and trailers are supposed to get people excited. But I’m just not. Sorry Spidey!
I feel really bad but the only way this Spiderman could interest me if Gwen Stacy actually died….though maybe next movie? also The LIzard looks lame.
Couldn’t make it past the 5 second mark of the Osombie trailer.
What’s that movie where Bob Stephenson plays a seemingly friendly, yet ultimately unsympathetic cop?
You GUYS! Mathilde is a REAL asteroid! I sent my REAL friend Mathilde asteroid themed birthday presents one year (*cough*lame*cough*)!
But THAT Mathilde is 38 miles in diameter and the orbit doesn’t bring it near earth really at all (
)so maybe it’s not the same one.
There was a trailer released this week about NAZIS on the MOON. MOON NAZIS! And we’re talking about some Kiera Knightly horseshit? Why even have this website if we’re not going to talk about Moon Nazis. If only a certain breathtakingly handsome presidential candidate had been talking about building a moon colony (that would undoubtedly help in the fight against the Moon Nazis). If only. Also, I am definitely not Newt Gingrich.
i wish spiderman didn’t wear those stupid glasses.
