Finally, the First Great Movie of the Year

You know, every January, we wade through the dreck, desperate for the moment the ice begins to melt and there’s finally some worthwile movies to see again. And it seems like that this moment of cinematic enjoyment takes longer and longer each year.

But, this year, maybe Christmas has come early.

Maybe, just maybe, we finally have a contender worthy of that famed headline “the first great movie of the year.”

And maybe this film can do more than just kick off film excellence in 2012. This one could possibly even speak to the human condition in ways previously unforeseen.

Please, watch with a loved one. And a box of tissues.

Man, The Rock sure has let himself go.

Hey, at least it's direct to DVD. It won't take up any valuable space in the movie theater competing with all those other....great...February...movies................dammit.

Would anyone else who can't see what they are referring to like to join in some educated guesses?

What, no red carpet at Mann's for this one?

Posted by: Patrick at January 31, 2012 2:36 PM

Oh,gawd.

...and cue the "God Bless America" trailer...

Well played, Enlow.

My reaction in time:

"A good movie! Awesome!...oh. Enlow wrote it...she doesn't usually do trade news...ITSATRAP"

Couldn't even get a real voiceover guy.

What Machine Gun Jean Maurice said.

FINALLY....

The Tooth Fairy...

HAS COME BACK!

To...ah wait what? Larry The Cable Guy? *lets himself out*

I'm guessing it's Spiderman 4: We Tricked You With That Reboot Bullshit, co-starring the Rock as Rhino.

I find the clear implication that this movie is making highly offensive. The characterization of all redneck slobs as fairies is an outrageous display of prejudice against that much-maligned community.

The crack team of truth-seeking, unbiased journalists at FOX News will be hearing about this for certain. Consider your gauntlet duly picked up.

God Bless America.

It's "Spider-Man"

Posted by: Jay at January 31, 2012 3:16 PM

I can't watch youtube at work, so I am highly entertained and intrigued by these comments.

Posted by: Skyler Durden at January 31, 2012 3:25 PM

...Did that happen, or am I on acid?

Posted by: Nadine at January 31, 2012 3:50 PM

Please tell me that no one paid actual money for Larry the Cable Guy. I hope they paid him in pizza and beer coupons.

I think I'd sooner have the Tooth Fairy from Red Dragon come visit my kids before I let this winged goober in. Let's see, a red necked asshole partnered with a squealing piggie. It should have called The Tooth Fairy's Deliverance.

"You shore gotta purty mouth..."

In the words of the trailer itself...

We didn't ask for it,
we weren't expecting it,
and we're not prepared for it.

Yet another sign of the coming apocalypse. Is there anyone in Hollywood that can say the word "no" anymore?

Posted by: Mavler at January 31, 2012 3:58 PM

It's "Spider-Man"

Oh, shut up.

Posted by: Abacus Finch at January 31, 2012 4:12 PM

Wait a minute. Spider-Man? Have I been getting it wrong this whole time? His name isn't Peter Parker-Spiderman?

Posted by: Socrates_Johnson at January 31, 2012 4:13 PM

well. it's no 'a simple wish'.

Posted by: gp at January 31, 2012 5:19 PM

Wait, how did they do this trailer without:

A large breasted fairy for LCG to oogle.

At least two fart jokes (one involving the pig)

A "rednecks have no teef" joke

And a cameo by Foxworthy that scene stealing asshole.

I'm available for punchup.

Dear god, NO!!!!!

Posted by: Drake at January 31, 2012 5:23 PM

Also, any person who informs my taste-challenged (but much loved) godkids about this movie will be killed by having me reach down their mouth to their asshole and grabbing hold and pulling them inside-out.

Posted by: Drake at January 31, 2012 5:25 PM

Hey the shot with the croquet smack made my day.

Posted by: Doreen at January 31, 2012 5:28 PM

Thanks Jay.

YouTube linked to a trailer for the Hunger Games after the silliness. Looks pretty cool, although I could not help being reminded of Stephen King's, The Long Walk, and the films, Logan's Run and The Island. But good stuff, inspiring a lack of trust and respect for authority in this new generation. Fat lot of good it's done any that have gone before, but there's always hope.

Alabaster Salamander, I salute you.

Posted by: Inquisitive Mind at January 31, 2012 9:32 PM

Feh.

Posted by: The Wanderer at January 31, 2012 10:19 PM

What? That? You mean that sound you just heard? Oh. That was the final nail in the coffin of Western civilization my friend. Or, in Hollywood parlance, just another Wednesday.
