This week we have a whole bunch of movie trailers for movies that are going to be in theaters in the next few months but that are not in theaters yet. Do you want to see them? Here they are!
Trouble With The Curve
OK, the line “Get out of here before I have a heart attack trying to kill you” is a very good line. Everything else I could do without. This looks like the anti-Moneyball but the problem is I really liked Moneyball so why do I want to see its enemy?
Liberal Arts
Being white is harder than ever.
This is 40
This is not just their story. This is everyone’s story. Haha. No it’s not! I’m just saying, this is the new Judd Apatow movie, Paul Rudd is in it, we’re all going to see it, but this is not everyone’s story. It’s 2012! You can’t pass off heteronormative white people problem movies about being sad that you’re a little bit older and your kid is a brat and the music industry and trampolines as the way we all live now.
Nobody Walks
“Does anybody walk?”
“No.”
Playing For Keeps
Yuck!
Antiviral
This is one of those instances where I feel completely satisfied by the trailer. I’m sure this movie has some things to say about celebrity and vanity and modern culture, and I’m sure it’s chock full of compelling visuals, but also it looks scary and gross and YOLO. This was a great three minutes! Congratulations to David Cronenberg on his son!

Is it just me, or is it low budget independent comedy season? There are so many low budget independent comedies these days! Who can keep up? We can. We’re a blog and that’s our job!

It’s so comforting to know that if I ever struggle with white people problems there will be LITERALLY A BILLION movies to show me how to deal with them.
The thing about #WhitePeopleProblems is they only exist because they need something exiting to happen in their life. So I’m not sure that counts as problems.
the modern world has essentially stripped away any real hardship, conflict, or inconvenience and we still find ways to get in the way of being content. we are our own worst enemies. a tragic flaw if there ever was one.
I mean, if I wanted to watch white people sigh while not understanding themselves, I’d hang out in coffee shops more.
i just look in the mirror.
Me too. That’s the man I’m starting with to make a change too.

I started to watch the Liberal Arts trailer and my husband looked over my shoulder and said, “Is that Gabe?”
Ted Evelyn Mosby is looking very Gabe-y for sure.
I’m trying to watch these, but my eyes are so cloudy from tears due to David Rakoff’s death. RIP.
That said, I can’t see Clint Eastwood’s movie now that he endorsed Mitt R-Money
Albert Brooks in This is 40 – yes!
Antiviral looks the best and sort of like a modern day Liquid Sky and it’s Cronenberg so yes, please.
Clint Eastwood has been a pretty vocal proponent for libertarian/conservatism for many many decades. that he just endorsed Romney should be no surprise.
he’s also pro marriage equality and an environmentalist of a sort, so he’s not terrible. he just happens to have a different economic philosophy than you.
His difference in economic philosophy being distinct from mine is fine, but R-Money? I guess conservatives have no alternative. Too bad for them. Obama is no shining star of liberalism so I voted for him out of necessity too. That said, I’ve lost my patience for libertarian-ism as it’s become a joke and really just came out of frustrated conservatives, whereas it once stood for something more radical and thoughtful.
So I guess I’d say, he’s made his decision to vote for R-Money and I’ve made mine to not see his movies because of that. I’m sure he cares a lot less about this than I do about his horrible decision.
as is your prerogative. he is a personal favorite of mine, and people i know and love more than him – relatives even! are gunna vote for Romney, too – so i cant really hold that against anyone.
im with you on how pretty shitty both options are, so i’m voting 3rd party from now on.
When I found out about Rakoff, my only response was “goddammit.” This is interesting to me (and maybe you) because the last time I was this honestly bummed and grieving for a public figure was MCA. (And I still am, that guy was the best.)
But then I remembered how incredibly humble and hilarious David Rakoff is and how embarrassed he’d be at this gushing of emotion over him and his work. Like he’s probably sitting around in the afterlife, complaining that he’s getting all this attention because he wants to take a nap or have lunch with one his ghost idols or (more likely) a grandparent. And something about that has made me feel a little better.
I agree with you, but I also think he secretly loved the attention. So he’d be like oh stop making such a fuss and sigh and then quietly look at everything and smile in private. I’m finding some of my books he signed and a picture I have with him at a book signing today and am going to post them. He teased me at one of his book signings because I bought my copy at The Strand and the reading was at Barnes & Noble. He said something like “et tu Brute”?
He’s so great. I interviewed him for my old gig and mentioned that Fraud was one of my favorite books and he wrote down a list of better books that I should be reading instead of his. He also tried to mine me for quotes on an article he was writing that he had been putting off all week to hang out with his LA friends on the magazine’s dime. I’m seriously going to miss him. Would love to see your post when it comes out.
I’ll link here for you badideajeans so keep a lookout. That’s a great story and so typically him.
I don’t want to get too personal on this site, but my old boyfriend was a fan of his too and they were the same age. My boyfriend died 7 years ago Aug 3 from liver cancer and so it’s all just kind of crazy weird and I’m all sad because of the time of year…anyway ugh.
Oh man. I’m sorry. And I will keep a look out!
And yeah, of course he secretly loved the attention. He wouldn’t write and be on TAL if he didn’t. But he was actually good at all of it.
my favorite part of the “Playing For Keeps” trailer is when the song lyrics were “meet me by the water” and they had a meeting by some water.
“there’s this movie that will have a pig vomiting and ron perleman in drag, do you want to see it?”
never in a million years would I feel like I’d say yes to that question.
But would you say yes to the question “Do you want to see Lizzy Caplan riding a bike in a bikini top?” This movie truly has something for everyone.
including Mr. Big, because ladies.
I walk.
IN YOUR FACE, NOBODY WALKS. Thesis disproven. Boom.
little-known-fact: NOBODY WALKS was the alternate title for Murderball
I think the subtitle should have been (in LA…walking in LA-ay ay ay…nobody walks in LA)
I walked in L.A. all the time. All the time. Suck it, Randy Newman.
I feel like in every Clint Eastwood movie he’s contractually obligated to say “I’m just a broken down old man.”

Holy hell Liberal Arts looks terrible.
Except for Antiviral, which looks like an interesting movie I probably won’t see, this is one of the blandest weeks for movie trailers in a long time.
chris o’dowd can never be in enough movies, we just need more richard ayoade and then the movies will not be sucky anymore
Antiviral looks promising, maybe? Unless it’s the Cronenberg family equivalent to Boxing Helena.
