HOW EMBARRASSING! 'Bounty Hunter' Stars Jen & Gerry Will Lose To 'Wimpy Kid'; 'Alice' Still #1; 'Repo Man' Distant #4 -http://bit.ly/9GFeAcAbout 2 days agoRSS Feeds
“That’s a Bingo!”
Uh, is this a comedy?
Wow. That looks absolutely horrible.
Not so subtle use of the typeface used in Pulp Fiction (wishful thinking on someone’s part). Has a similar plasticy look. Like an episode of Get Smart.
I’m not a Tarantino fan but it looks damn fun.
Meh. Looks OK. I just don’t see the non QT fanboys responding to the Grindhouse style trailer.
And frankly Mike Myers doing a cameo as Austin Powers’ father is going to turn more people off than on.
Tonally, this film still feels all over the place.
Basically this is just a super violent remake of “Top Secret” featuring Brad Pitt is doing an impression of Carey Grant doing an impression of Foghorn Leghorn.
It’s looking to be more and more fun with each new trailer, I loved the poke and headbutt back bit.
Ahem.
Weak, wack, corny.
Taratinover.
I have loved Tarantino’s films from Reservoir Dogs on through Kill Bill 2. He’s a talented and clearly passionate filmmaker but from the looks of this trailer it may be that he’s just, well, over…
Brad Pitt’s accent sounds terrible (not sure what sort of accent it’s even supposed to be), and the dialogue they chose for this trailer make it seem more like it was written by some fourteen year old kid with no idea how people actually speak or at the least no ear for the rhythm or pacing that Tarantino’s dialogue usually has. Even the campiness of it just feels cheap and joyless. And the cinematography — yikes.
Okay so this is just a trailer, but in light of how badly off TWC is these days (couldn’t happen to a better guy than Harvey), I can’t imagine crowd’s flocking to see this dog, based on this trailer.
I can’t wait to see this movie. Still bummed we didn’t get it and I usally get over these things fairly quickly…
What’s with the spelling of basterd – poetic license? – one known as an illegitmate, always so known.
Is that Mike Meyers in the trailer? Why?!
It’s bad enough Tarantino gave that hack Roth a job.
Is that the guy from “The Office” ?
I’m really tired of Brad Pitt. He’s just like George Clooney… can we ban both of them from ever making movies again? ugh!
I can’t wait to see it. I read the script and the trailer doesn’t do it any justice. It looks like they are trying to market it as some sort of action comedy, but it has a lot more going for it than that.
I saw this at Cannes. It’s amazing. Don’t listen to the haters! Tarantino is back!
This is a joke right? This looks like one of the fake trailers from Tropic Thunder.
Brad Pitt channeling Foghorn Leghorn, Mike Meyers, and BJ Novack from The Office? Are you serious? Really? Way to kill an idea. What, was Webster unavailable? sheesh
i like it much better than the previous trailer. more spunky and hip. other one was just full of dialogue that wasn’t great.
Its official: this is the biggest misdirection in film marketing history. People are going to be PISSED when they see this movie. Hopefully it will make enough in its first weekend to get TWC out of its hole, because the drop-off is going to be brutal.
So tired of seeing the same ugly faces over and over again. And so tired of Quentin Tarantino’s obsessions being played over and over again. I’ve had bowel movements that were more exciting than this trailer. Dreadful.
I don’t know…I’m getting this sinking feeling from it. Doesn’t feel right. At best I’ll catch a matinee…if that.
Boring…so much for the hype.
Pitt is over the hills, just like Clooney and the likes. (they were never THAT good in the 1st place anyways)
Lets see how the B.O performance for this one shall we? I will be very surprise if the final gross reaches the 9 digits numbers. Opening 20M wknd and fizzles at around 50-60M. Overseas will recoup the cost tho’ but do we really care then ?
OK, so they used cheap needle drop music in a trailer like this? Man they must be scrounging for change at this point. pathetic. it feels like a home video trailer. It’s amazing how bad trailers are getting. Absolutely no reason this trailer should be this bad. with that cast and enough action… whoever cut that and whoever approved it should be sent packing. gents… if you want to make money you have to spend it. otherwise don’t play in the big leagues.
Looks awesome. Tarantino is back!
The thing about genius is … it’s invisible. It takes a genius to know a genius. So well, ya know.
Judging from the title alone, which hooked me the moment I laid eyes on it … *because* of the creative spelling, I couldn’t wait to see Tarantino’s next offering.
I’ll see it with bells on, taking it as it is, without judgment, as simply another piece in the body of work of an auteur who interests me.
I don’t make the mistake of judging Tarantino’s pieces individually. I support him as a unique, authentic voice in filmmaking, just as I would Kubrick, or Welles. I give Tarantino the gift of creative license, as I would want the same given to me.
Tarantino is one of the last dons. His work demands that you pay attention. And I’ve learned with him, as well as a select group of others, that my perception of the work will evolve as I do. What seems campy and trite today will take on legs in my psyche. And eventually I’ll become one with the material. I’ll be able to receive the poetic nuances that ordinary eyes miss. In other words, I’ll see the film that Tarantino made from his own POV. This is a breathtaking position from which to watch a film, from the eyes of the one who created it.
In short, I give Tarantino’s genius breathing space. I don’t let my ego slam the gavel in snap judgment, because I get a rise out of taking pot shots at a king. It feels mighty good to engage in this base behavior, but I try to make a point to rise above it.
What’s with all the hate? This looks delightful.
What do you negative guys want? THIS international trailer is by far better and more entertaining, than the US trailer. The film is pure entertainment, stop bashing it before you see it. And watch out for some cool German actors…. I will!
From Berlin, cheers
this looks horrible. the performance of brad shown in the trailer doesn’t do him any favors either. yeish.
Did Guy Richie co-direct this movie? Geeeeeezz, talk about unimpressive.With that said, I would bet this movie will make bank.The Quentbots will eat this up and tell everyone why it’s awesome, even if they don’t believe it to be so.
That my friends is a knee jerk reaction to a poor screening in Cannes from a nervous distributor and “Iconoclast”.
I’m sure No one involved is particularly happy with it.
You reap what you sow,
I truly respect Mike Meyers work and I feel bad for the comparison’s to Bruno which are surely going to come from this poor poor piece of casting.
Right Now Mr Pitt’s Bank Manager can be the only happy party.
Tarantino could’ve saved the studios millions of dollars and just masturbated.
Did none of you read the comment by “anonymous genius”? You can’t just watch this film and have a direct reaction to it. You have to incorporate in your reactions to Tarantino’s past films, perhaps even your expectations for his future films–this is one piece in the career of an “auteur,” you see–and you have to consider that any dialogue that strikes you as idiotic may be reborn as catchphrases in the casual speech of morons worldwide by week’s end.
That’s not going to happen, though, because this is Death Proof 2. Or the fifth or sixth of the Four Rooms–the (2nd? after Kill Bill?) ball room in Quentin’s decreasingly fascinating “mind.” Never has a goon with nothing to say about either life or art had so much rope with which to hang himself.
Yawn. Tarantino simply making another “spot the homage” flick for internet fanboys to masturbate over. Has Tarantino ever made a film with a single original idea in it? He’s like a guy with a kickass CD collection who insists that this somehow makes him a musician.
No one can ever remake the Dirty Dozen (this is not Top Secret, seesh – a parody of a parody? come-on). At least not well.
That said, QT seems to be making his homage to it. I’m all for it. The guy’s made serious ground breaking hits. I think here he’s just having a little fun. Sure it cost serious millions. But Lovers and Haters alike can come up with at least 5 pics this year that cost more and are a bigger waste of time talent and money.
