While She Was Out Trailer

Unleashes Bitch Fury / Dustin Rowles

Trade News | October 28, 2008 | Comments (27)

So, I was watching the Red Band trailer for While She Was Out thinking, guh, is this one of those silly domestic abuse thrillers, like Sleeping with the Enemy, only more somber and melodramatic? Cause, really, I’m not cool with that. How fucking dull and uninspired.

And then, right around the 1:25 mark, after Kim’s mom character goes out for some bread or cigarettes or something, Lukas Haas — who is one freaky-looking dude — comes up to her and he’s like, “I gotta gun, How’s about I put a bullet in your pussy,” and then he puts a bullet in some dude’s head, and then: ZOMG! Basinger starts to unload on some motherfuckers. She gets unholy, y’all. For the Christmas season. Prepare to be baptized by the Basinger:

Dayum. Kim is fucking up a whole gang of badasses and she still looks good. I guess those years with Alec paid off.

(I'm just sort of confusedly gesturing with my mouth opening and closing, which isn't necessarily negative, but what it is is unknown)

I love trailers that show you the entire movie in 2 minutes and 47 seconds.

Kim B. has always been a little wackadoodle. That's why I thought her and the Baldwin were perfect for each other.

So...I mean...it's The Brave One right? We're just going to...I mean...pretend it's not?

We are?

OK.

Kim Basinger as a passive-aggressive mommy who busts out her psycothic freak under stress? Sounds like typecasting to me.

This trailer made me flash back to the horrible Cellular where Basinger breathlessly cries the whole movie.

"Ain't no gun can kill a spirit gone bad. She's gone bad."
That dialog pretty much sums this one up.

If she has time to get into her car and drive away - why doesn't she drive to, um, a Police Station?

Riddle me THAT, Hollywood Screen Writers!

Good or not, I think we can all agree that Basinger still brings the hotness. Big time.

Oh, so it's the remake of I Spit on Your Grave I heard about. Huh. Holiday fun for the whole family!

Remember when Kim Basinger bought that town? Man I haven't thought about that in a while but its probably one of the best crazy celebrity stories in the history of Hollywood.

Anyway, she wound up broke and ba-da-bing, you get this movie. Ah, the magic of Hollywood.

Lifetime and Spike together at last.

I know I'm just a white white white girl who'd get lost and die walking in a blizzard in the Swiss mountains naked (if, that is to say, I'd recently been shaved completely -- and I do mean completely -- bald), never to be found... but I have to say:

Word.

Snore!

Also, what the hell is up with that church music?

Posted by: Pants at October 28, 2008 11:51 AM

Ugh, fuck off Movie Whose Name I Don't Care To Know. It's like a full-length movie based on a shitty urban legend about a double parked hoopty being part of a gang initiation or something.

Posted by: Dangle McGee at October 28, 2008 2:35 PM

Ah, yes -- that town was called "Braselton." I think her nutjob husband talked her into that purchase. Drove her into bankruptcy, if I recall.

Posted by: Maryscott O'Connor at October 28, 2008 3:36 PM

Ok, I know this isn't any kind of original, or likely even any kind of good, but damn, Basinger can still bring it! Normally I'd just wait it out and read it on moviespoilers, but this one looks violent enough, perhaps with even a little bit of vicarious fun, that I might just rent it. Or download it. For fun. Because no way I'm paying good money for average-at-best. Now, if this http://xkcd.com/311/ movie ever gets made I'll be first in line for IMAX tickets!

According to her she bought the town for sentimental reasons because she grew up there and I quote verbatim "learned to give blow jobs in that field." Her father responded by sending her a tennis ball and a roll of duct tape to use on her mouth in case she wanted to reminisce any more. She's been whacked out for quite some time. I can't believe this is going to be better than Sraw Dogs or Death Wish or even Last House on the Left but it'll be interesting to see what the reviews are.

Posted by: OscarTamerz at October 28, 2008 4:40 PM

What the butt? I want to see this.

Posted by: Lucas at October 28, 2008 5:28 PM

i would of been at that field every day every minute waiting for her to practice her favorite thing??

Greatest hits reel from TSCC, I think. They got a whole season, so there should be enough material.
