Killer Apes, Giant Robots, Aliens And (Shirtless) Tennant: New Clips To Help You Get Your Geek On

Hello, shitheads. Here’s some news and clips. Try not to hurt yourselves.

First, we have a new trailer for Fright Night, which finally shows some David Tennant as a sort of Criss Angel meets Fearless Vampire Killer. He actually looks pretty great.

Next, a quick bit from Transformers: Dark Of The Moon. Frankly, it’s a step back from the prior trailers, which emphasized the massive scope and seemingly darker tone. This one emphasizes one-liners and jive-talking robots with dogs. Translation: all the worst parts of the franchise. Watch it anyway, it’s not like you’re actually working:

Speaking of massive scale, here’s a new clip from Green Lantern, which emphasizes the geekiest aspects of the film — the outer space parts that take place on Oa, the planet of the Green Lantern Corps. Yet there’s a kind of gleeful wonderment too it that I like, even if I’d prefer a little less smirk from Reynolds.

Bringing things back to Earth, here’s the trailer for Rise of the Planet of the Apes, the most cumbersomely titled movie of the year (seriously, is anyone going to care if I just shorten it to Rise Of The Apes?). It’s essentially a recut version of the trailer we showed last week, only with a bit more Malfoy Tom Felton.

This next one, I will present without comment, because I’d like your response to be unfiltered. I promise it’s nothing gross or mean:

Yeah. Not so sure about that, but it can’t be any worse than the live action TV show. No, really. It literally can’t be any worse.

The only cheap part of the Blade clip is the game-show host voice over. The animation looks awesome, and of course the content will be bloody and violent. Which is what you want from vampires [looking at you, Twilight].

That header picture is proof that you love us, TK. Aw.

Yeah, I thought what little we saw of the Blade anime looked alright. I don't have a ton of interest in Blade (or vampires, for that matter) but I'd watch it.

I am also really surprisingly interested in RotPotA, which, yes, is a hell of a title.

In order:

Yes, no, eh, maybe, more tentacle.

Tennant walking out and pulling off the wig was really hot. Can we have a movie of just that, please?

Fright Night is looking pretty awesome. I'm even willing to forgive that it's written by Marti (lets make Spike an attempted rapist) Noxon.

Also damn, Tennant shirtless, IN LEATHER PANTS!!!, and pulling off the wig is the hottest I have ever seen him.

Ferrell as an evil vamp is also too hot for words!

Bringing things back to Earth, here’s the trailer for Rise of the Planet of the Apes...
Gah, SPOILERS!! Next thing you're going to tell me Soylent Green is, like, people or something.

I am also really surprisingly interested in RotPotA, which, yes, is a hell of a title.
They should just turn the acronym into a word and call it Rotpota. That's a fun sounding word to me.

Socrates_Johnson I laugh every time I see your name. I just want you to know I am pronouncing it So-crates.

Posted by: Melody Be at June 7, 2011 10:16 AM

Well that is the way you pronounce my nom-de-internet...

I can't believe I'm going to see Fright Night in the theater, but there it is. The casting director should get some sort of award.

Posted by: Three-nineteen at June 7, 2011 10:26 AM

They might as well have made Green Lantern a cartoon

I know the ladies are excited about his lack of shirt, but I have been continually distracted by Tennant's bedazzled crotch in the header pic.

Posted by: Socrates_Johnson at June 7, 2011 10:50 AM

I don't know if it's the overly dramatic hand gestures that make me feel like he just threw a drink, the mascara or the spikes that look like shoulder blades, but Tennant is giving a Joan Collins 'Dynasty' vibe. So why is he still so hot?

Posted by: The Bean at June 7, 2011 11:06 AM

Socrates, you know what's under that leather would be dazzling too.

Posted by: esme at June 7, 2011 11:21 AM

I can't believe Green Lantern STILL isn't in theaters. I feel like they've been hyping it for the last several years at this point. I don't even need to see the movie anymore, really. I can just string together all the trailers and all the clips they've shown.

I love the Fright Night trailer. I didn't really have any interest in the movie before I saw it, but it's now on my must-see list.

Posted by: MelBivDevoe at June 7, 2011 11:39 AM

Actually, I'm more distracted by the happy trail leading to the bedazzled leather crotch. You know, I don't care about the movie. Can I get a poster?

Wesorii Sonaipasu!

Since Michael Bay hates the word "side" so much, he's positioning himself to remake several films and adapt their themes -- and titles -- to his liking. Watch out for:

Explosive woman adopts explosive football player in:
The Blind
Violent street gangs and fast-paced romance explode in:
West Story
A twisted deputy leaves an explosive trail of violence in:
The Killer In Me
Terrifying ghosts explode once again in
Poltergeist II: the Other
Love is explosively hard to define on the:
Walks of New York
Big Tobacco doesn't sand a chance against the fury of:
The Iner
An explosive road trip into California wine country explodes in:
Ways
A naval vessel explodes around the glode in:
Master and Commander: The Far of the World.
A psyhotic woman stalks the unborn in:
In
And violent street gangs and fast-paced romance explode –- again -- in:
The Outers

Pheww. That's a relief. Anyone else glad that Tennant was wearing a wig? I applauded when he did took it off.

I didn't need another reason NOT to see Transformers 3 but thanks anyway.

Rotpota sounds like something that happens to your toilet if you don't clean it on a semi-regular basis.

"What's wrong, Zira?"

(sadly) "I've got Rotpota"

"Well, cheer up, 'cause now your throne cane sparkle again thanks to Gorilla Mist from Lysol! Just a few squirts of this and you can say good-bye to Rotpota"

"Wow! My stone pony is gleaming and ready to take anything we can fling at it....Thanks to Gorilla Mist!"

I kinda can't wait for Fright Night. Which is something I never in one million years thought I'd hear myself say (or, you know, watch myself type. Ooh, Watching Myself Type sounds dirty. or maybe like a band name.)

The only thing I understood in that Blade trailer was "Vampire Hunter." That made me happy.

Posted by: DeistBrawler at June 7, 2011 3:23 PM

Now I can have a Supernatural/Blade anime night. Who loves oWoD?

Posted by: AmbroseKalifornia at June 7, 2011 5:32 PM

David Tennant in Fright Night looks like Jarvis Cocker cross with Dave Navarro. That makes David a million times hotter.
