The Trailer Thread - Room with a Preview

I mean, it looks like a bunch of extremely indulgent self-reference about the animation industry. Which would only be fun if the writing were *extremely* good, which I’m certainly not holding my breath for.
 
Agreed. Maybe they spent hours arguing about whether to go with cel animation or CG, so somebody proposed doing this bizarre, Frankensteinian compromise just so everybody could go home—that’s the only way I can imagine this getting approved.
I think its a lame joke that comes at the expense of visual continuity for the film. This looks terrible.

We Hate Movies used the term IP Vomit to describe the new Space Jam. The term can also be applied to the new RR.

Hey, new Cronenberg. Back to sci-fi body horror no less.


Its weird seeing some of it in CGI, which looks off but the rest in the trailer looks like some amazing practical effects.

I feel like there are a few actors who hit big young and instead of trying to cling to super-stardom just want to do their own thing. I'm thinking Radcliffe, Elijah Wood and Robert Pattinson (despite recently Batman-ing it). I love them for it. Especially I love that Elijah Wood's thing is "I produce oddball horror movies now."

I'm definitely into it; kinda wondering what the tone is gonna be like though. Like is it gonna be a mockumentary, or a legit biopic that just happens to be about a funny guy, or what. Weird Al's had some pretty harsh personal tragedy that definitely wouldn't make the cut if this is supposed to be a "funny" movie.

This reminds me that I missed the 1 hour long $25 ticket window for Weird Al's concert in my town this summer. Now they're all $100+ each! Ugh.

You folks know the movie is basically an extension of that old Funny Or Die sketch, right?

Because he's a 40s and 50s horror and sci-fi nerd and no one else gives a shit about the IP.

And it certainly contains no references or nods to any previous genre media.

Also one of Rob Zombie's most famous songs is Dragula.

The point I'm trying to make is that it's weird to me that Rob Zombie, noted director of gory horror movies, is making a movie based on a relatively tame sitcom that just happened to feature a monster family who wanted to live normal lives.

Can we at least all agree that the Munsters theme song is still a fucking banger though?
 

Johnny Unusual

(He/Him)
Not unheard of. Eli Roth did a spooky family adventure film a couple years ago and Takahashi Miike has been a journeyman on various random projects like film versions of kids tokusatsu series.

If you want to go in knowing nothing, probably don't watch this one. I guess I was expecting it to be a bit cagier in marketing and what kind of threat it is (although I imagine there's a lot it's not telling us). So if you don't want to watch it and go in as cold as possible, I'll give you some vague points of interest:
Keith David!
The Akira slide!
A film that, to a certain extent, seeming to be about film (and the act of watching). And frankly, it looks like completely thrilling fun. I am hyped for this and am bummed I probably won't be comfortable going to the theatre yet in a couple months because... LOOKS GOOD!
