HAHAHAHAH, WHAT IS THAT MUSIC? Yay! We did it! We walked around a dun-colored nightmarish hellscape of inhumanly horrifying post-Apocalyptic tragedy! And then the United States came from behind to beat Russia in Olympic hockey! THANK YOU, PRESIDENT BARTLET!
(I’m not telling you what to do, I’m just saying that if you wanted to remix this video with even more ridiculous music, put it on YouTube, and post a link in the comments, I wouldn’t be mad.)

It’s the feel-GREAT movie of the year.
Because he’s trying to make it in the big (wasteland of a) city and nobody puts his baby in a corner of the woods to possibly try and eat him… He’s gonna make on his own! (With the help of a world of hobos.)

I’m way late to this but who cares. It’s funny.
Guy Pearce?? Is that you?? My goodness, times have changed.
Also, the music started out well. Dramatic, dark, etc. And then all that triumphant bull started. THERE IS NOTHING TRIUMPHANT ABOUT THE APOCALYPSE.
I’m not trying to tell y’all what to do either but, if some one who know all about technology put this to the Land Before Time theme song I will love you.
* or knows if you like English.
Bonus points for the stock “YOURRAGGH!” scream at 2:12.
Oh damn, I just posted that right after you. My bad.
It’s okay. We’re both nerds.
I didn’t know the scream had an actual name though. Good on you!
It’s unofficial. My Stock Sound Effects professor said it coined the name from Howie Long in Broken Arrow.
Also, in before WTWTA trailer mashup.
In NERD NEWS: Anyone catch that “Howie Scream” at the end of the trailer?
Yup
This probably isn’t the best book to read when you’re stuck in an airport overnight by yourself. But alas, that is what I did Thurs night.
My mother said she had to stop reading it at meals because otherwise she felt too guilty for having so much compared to the characters.
Who here has read the book? I found that the little moments of joy really made an impact because of the darkness that they were otherwise set in. Maybe I wasn’t playing my triumphant music loudly enough though.
SPOILER ALERT:
The bit where they found the stockroom made me smile quite widely when I was reading it on the train. I think I looked genuinely insane.
First book I’ve read in many years where I both couldn’t put it down and didn’t want it to end.
Needs more “Solisbury Hill”.
^SARCASM^
or Salisbury Steaks. If Salisbury Steaks were made out of human legs.
I found even the moments of joy dreary based on the bleak inevitability of the situation. My mental soundtrack was GSYBE, but not any of the triumphant portions.
I believe you mean GY!BE. Not to get all Stereogum on you…
Now THIS is a movie about 2012 I can get behind!
I have read it. There is a piece of me that is gone and can never be replaced or replicated. During the last five pages I had to go sit alone away from roommates and friends to finish it, and didn’t return for a while.
I totally loved it.
Dude, I have heard that scream ALL OVER the place lately. I have been wondering what it’s called. Thanks!
Wow thanks for that. For weeks I’ve been like “hey, my friends, what’s the name of that scream that’s kinda like a wilhelm scream but a bit different” and they’ve been like “…………………………..”
gabe, he spells it ‘bartlet.’ just so you know. i know that accuracy is important to you and that president jed bartlet is the greatest president this world will ever see, real or fictitious. (though president andrew shepherd was also a very great president.)
Let’s not forget David Effing Palmer.
the quiet dignity, dazzling intelligence and dry wit of president josiah bartlet would make “president” david palmer’s face melt off.
now i say good day to you, sir. GOOD DAY.
In DC after the 2000 elections, you could buy mugs that said (among other excellent lines) “Jeb Bartlet is my president.”
…or President Dwayne Elizondo Mountain Dew Herbert Camacho, clearly one of our best future fictional presidents.
On a completely separate note, can I make a motion to include the “ass-nuts” tag whenever the “Charlize Theron” tag is used?
In a related story, this movie continues to look like it will ruin my life when I go and see it opening night.
I am curious how “group movie watching misery’ will hold up against “solo book reading misery’…
Does Guy Pearce’s face literally change with every role he does? He’s great.
You really don’t want to tempt me to redub a movie trailer with new music, because i will pick Bruce Springsteen’s “The Wrestler” every time. Every time.
OKAY NOW THAT I HAVE BEEN ABLE TO WATCH THIS VIDEO AT WORK, I AM REALLY ANNOYED ABOUT THIS.
I don’t want to say I’m as annoyed as Gabe about the “Tommy Boy” DirectTV ad, but I kinda am? They are taking something I love, and turning it into an abomination?
ugh i was so upset all my “reply”s turned into “comment”s after the preview function turned them off. sorry, monsters…
Did anyone else comment on the fact that OMAR LITTLE is all up in this one?
I’ve never read the book, but it’s still quite evident that this trailer has upped the ugh factor exponentially.
Damn, the last half of the trailer seemed like some deleted scenes of Where The Wild Things Are.
Bonus points for Andrew Bird. You’re right though. I think the part that makes it seem like ‘Where the Wild Things Are’, is all the large furry puppet people that were dancing around on the beach.
I hope I’m not too late.

you did it
It’s… it’s the best thing I’ve ever seen. Why isn’t this upvoted billions of times? MONSTER’S BALL EDITOR PICK PLEASE. Pumpkin heads for you, sir or ma’am.
This thread was almost ironic until you posted that, in that, although we all like laughing at videos people make, none of us could apparently make them ourselves! (Is that ironic? Ask Alanis.)
Anyways, you win. You win all the pumpkins.
Ah! I hope that song justs loops during the entire movie! It would never get old! EVER!
Offending soundtrack clip:

(with bonus pensive Mel Gibson face staring into your soul. GIVE HIM BACK HIS SON!)
Ohhhh Gabe. You have topped yourself again. TWSS, I’m out. THANK YOU PRESIDENT BARTLETT!!!
The second half of that trailer made me think this movie should’ve been called “Lord of the Road.” Bizarre choice of music, i concur.
Fun fact- I also thought that “Hidalgo” should’ve been called “Lawrence of the Ringbiscuit.”
fuck. i just spent the last year seeing this book’s cover in stores and thinking it was Christian Bale on the cover. But it’s been Viggo Mortensen this whole time!? I don’t know whether to rejoice or feel cheated….
