The Notorious B.I.G. biopic trailer (via Nah Right), you guys:
They had me going there for awhile what with all the hard work Christopher Wallace's mom put in at the auditions, creepily deciding which actor most reminded her of her dead son. But yeah, no, biopics are still clearly the worst.

The Terminator trudged along the wooded path towards the lake, his gun dangling by his side, the taunts still ringing in his hypersensitive bionic ears. He stared at the ground as he walked, and didn't even bother scanning anything with...

Do you ever eat foods that you know you don't like, just to remind yourself why you don't like them? I think that's a good thing to do sometimes! The worst case scenario is that you might momentarily have a...

Last weekend, something strange happened. Some of the Videogum Monsters created their own secret, password-protected chat room. In 2009! Incredible! I suppose every monster has his cave, or whatever. As it turned out, though, we already had a Videogum Chat...

Score = 1
How does a movie trailer get made when the first half looks exactly like a YouTube tribute video? That's the most horribly made trailer I have ever seen!
Score = -1
Chadams (not your real name) nailed it. The first half looks like some fan art, and the second half looks like outtakes from VH-1's MC Hammer biopic. (Did Diddy have a contractual obligation to be portrayed by a very handsome man? He probably included a "no overbite" sub-clause for Diddy casting.)
There were two things in that trailer that made me happy: the inclusion of the song "Notorious", and a split second shot of my own street corner. Everything else was booty.
Score = 0
What's REALLY going to be awesome about this movie is the scene in which Diddy finds a video camera in an empty room, approaches it with a sense of intrepid wonder and then proceeds to record his first vlog. Mark my words. (Mark 'em.)
Score = 0
