Hot Tub Time Machine Red Band Trailer

Wet Hot Tub Time Machine American Summer

By Dustin Rowles | Posted Under Trailers | Comments (31)

I was extremely skeptical of Steve Pinks’ Hot Tub Time Machine after its initial teaser trailer, but I have to cautiously admit that after each trailer (this is the fourth, if you count the teaser), I’ve warmed up to it, particularly after this Red Band version. What can I say? I like profanities.

The new trailer also reveals something heretofore unknown — when the characters (played by John Cusack, Rob Corddry, Craig Robinson, and Clarke Duke (who is kind of awesome) travel back in time, they also revert to their 20-year-old selves (except for Duke, who remains the same). Kind of cheesy, actually, but everything else suggests a 40-something Weird Science in tone, and I’m not above — nor will I ever be — admitting that I loved Weird Science. I welcome an ’80s comedy in 2010 and expect some slightly sharp, irreverent comedy from Sean Anders (who wrote and directed Sex Drive).

What’s strange about all of the trailers for Hot Tub Time Machine, however, is that none of them show who else is in the movie, namely Kate Walsh, Crispin Glover (despite the presence of a Back to the Future joke), and Lizzy Caplan. And if there’s one thing we know about Lizzy Caplan, it’s that she doesn’t really bother with shirts. Or bras. Not that that should be the deciding factor, I’m just passing on the information.

Check it out.

I agree, unless it turns out to be an absolute shitfest (and I don't believe that it's anywhere near ruled out yet) I'll probably see this.

On an unrelated note, I just watched Conan from a couple of days ago (20/01) and I appreciate that he's having a good time and it's absolutely hilarious, but I couldn't help that worry that he might be potentially tarnishing the careers of his crew or even his guests while he does it. It's entirely possible that I'm missing the mark and from everything I've read he doesn't sound like the type to do not care about doing that, but if anyone can reassure me that he's not going to ruin his crew's careers I'd appreciate it.

I think this is going to be the next The Hangover: The movie with the trailer everyone absolutely fucking loves and I hate and then it comes out and as it turns out everyone loves it and I love it too and then I'm banished to the corner for being a non-believer. SHUN THE NON-BELIEVER!

Is it sad that I'm sold on seeing this movie purely on the presence of an Iron Maiden 'Killers' T-shirt in the trailer?

Hah! I lied to Red Band about my age and it let me see the trailer anyway. HAH! Fuck you, Red BaYESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSBOOBIESSSSSSSSYESSSSSSSSSSSS!

Lizzy Caplan in "True Blood" = hottest thing I've ever seen on TV.

Posted by: superasente at January 22, 2010 10:22 AM

I lied to the Red Band about my age, too. What's the point? Anyone can type in 01/01/1950.

I think I'm sold one this one. As an aside, wouldn't a street paved with wet vaginas get a lot of sand in said vaginas?

Posted by: admin at January 22, 2010 10:32 AM

Not unless you're near a beach. More likely gravel or asphalt. Except in heaven, where the streets are paved with gold vaginas.

And the Asphalt Vaginas is my band's new name.

Actually, my street looks more like it's been paved with McDonald's bags and empty water bottles.

I like to think the Red Band verification compiles a list of all birthdates and thus ages of the visitors for marketing purposes and tracking. So I never put the year of my birth above 1910. I want to really throw off their demographic research.

"We don't know what happened to make Hot Tub Time Machine fail, Bob. The trailer tested through the roof with the octogenarian crowd!"

I'll be honest I clicked this link because it looked like Lizzy Caplan was in the header pic. And she is. So this is now a must see. And I'm really hoping her character on True Blood has a vampire nudist twin that comes to Bon Temps and wreaks sexy havoc. Take note, Alan Ball.

We're talking about a ski resort here, so they probably apply tons of sand AND salt to combat the icy vaginae (my spellchecker is never wrong).

I love the Asphalt Vaginas , . Are you all going on tour again soon? My little sister lost her virginity at your show the last time you guys were here, and my parents blamed me because I blacked out after taking Jager bombs with my gym instructor at the bar across the street from the club where the show was at. From what I remember, it was a pretty good time though, aside from ending up cut out of their will.

It was going to happen sooner or later, okay? I guess hymen is its own currency.

I think this looks pretty funny and it also doesn't have something the Hangover had...Bradley Cooper. As long as no one's forcing me to root for that guy ever again then I can sit back and laugh.

I don't care how much commitment he has to Hollywood (since he's obviously a gay man and has been staging relationships left and right with big names) I just don't like the guy. There's nothing genuine about him.

I like Craig Robinson and before anyone bothers to point out that he plays the same character in every movie, don't worry, I know that. I just think that particular character is pretty funny in a variety of situations.

I have literally seen Lizzy Caplan in two things only: one episode of True Blood and Mean Girls.
From what I'm hearing, Janis Ian likes to get naked a lot.

Posted by: Sassafrass Green at January 22, 2010 11:40 AM

He [Bradley Cooper] also looks like an emu. Don't trust him.

Shouldn't John Cusack be trying to date Diane Court when he goes back 20 years?

Posted by: Your Mom at January 22, 2010 12:34 PM

That photo comparison was beautiful by the way figgy.

Sassafrass, you should watch Party Down. It's hilarious and Caplan is adorable in it.

Posted by: becks at January 22, 2010 1:17 PM

Ahhhh, becks, I completely forgot about that! She's awesome on that.

"I look like a helpful gay pirate." "Awww, you don't look helpful."

Loved Jane Lynch on that too.

It is one of my lifes goals to go to a party and have someone in a bear costume randomly show up.

True story.

Huh . . . the Red Band didn't even ask me how old I was, it just assumed . . . is that like when they don't card you at the liquor store? Becase I'm turning 30 next month, &IusuallygetcardedandIliketheideaofstayingunderageforeverandisthatagreyhairOHMYGOD

While the title made me skeptical I worship John Cusack and Clark Duke was awesome on Greek.

This looks fun.

But if its snow then wouldn't it be ice vagina's? In which case short dude with glasses was right to be grossed out because lets face it, what dude wants to put his peen in an ice cavern? shrinkage? No, Lil 'ol Benny Peen would crawl back up into the stomach and cry hot, depraved tears of fear and burning ice.

Posted by: Nieve 'The Threadkiller Queen' at January 22, 2010 4:16 PM

No, they don't mind icy Nieve. Haven't you ever given a blowjob with an ice cube in your mouth?

(Pro tip: Alternate ice and hot tea for a great evening of extreme sensations! Have him do the same back to you because selflessness is overrated.)

Posted by: becks at January 22, 2010 4:33 PM

Yeah but no one like a cold cooch

Dude, that totally wasn't me. It was the drummer. I was doin' your mom. Like this:

//gently strums guitar, occasionally bending strings, tossing in a pentatonic riff, then ... WHAMMY BAR WHAMMY BAR WHAMMY BAR WHAMMY BAR

She loves it when I do that.

Ridley Scott has a gift for spectacle which is why this trailer manages to work so well with only a smidgen of voice over and no dialogue. Lots of stylish action on display for this latest adaptation of the classic tale which features Russell Crowe in the lead.

Touche Jim Doggie. Touche.

This movie looks awesome, but I gotta tell ya, TrailerAddict's flash player makes me want to stab a kitten it's so retarded.

Posted by: Crat at January 23, 2010 2:27 PM

Forget 1950 for a birthday, I told the thing I was born in the 1700's and it was just fine with that. What really is the point of the age check, anyway?
