National Lampoon's Homo-Erectus Sets Us Back Way More Than 10,000 Years

I've got a suggestion for David Blaine's next trick. He should see how long he can watch the red band trailer for National Lampoon's Homo-Erectus before he loses motor function and his brain shuts down.

I made it through 37 seconds! I'm writing you this from inside a machine that forces blood to pump through my unwilling heart. It's nice to see that National Lampoon is working hard to fight the relentless tide of progress. This trailer doesn't even make any sense, and yet I can still tell that its misogynistic and homophobic. They've managed to create some kind of pre-verbal I Now Pronounce You Chuck and Larry. Someone should give these guys a prize.

I think it looks good! It's got Ron Jeremy, Johnny Depp and Gary Busey!

did the same guy who did the There Will Be Blood trailer accidentally do this one? was that something that I was supposed to intentionally catch onto, laugh at how clever my observation is and then make a double loud laugh at the notion of inter-species coitus...because all of the above JUST fantastically happened.
