The Scientologists Are Coming / Dustin Rowles

Trailers | October 20, 2009 | Comments (28)


There’s a new trailer out for the Robin Williams / John Travolta mid-age-crisis fuck bullet, Old Dogs, and before I unleash it on all of you, I really must share this email (with permission) that I received from Jennifer, an illustrious reader of ours, which perfectly essentiates the experience of watching the trailer. Here it is, in full:

—-

My sister alerted me to a survey she is taking about a movie she is not supposed to discuss, but describes thusly:

“A movie called Old Dogs from the someoneorother of Wild Hogs. John Travolta and Robin Williams are old men, who inherit twin 7 year olds somehow…”

Apparently there exists a trailer for this harbinger of the end-days, and my sister watched it before she knew any better, and is convinced that her soul now comprises those bee-like things they kept puking up in Green Mile and she decided to infect me with them by putting the idea of this movie in my head. And now I’m sharing it with you, in case you’d like to use it as a Pajiban torture device.

Apparently they asked her, “Assuming you saw this movie in a theater and liked it, in what ways would you recommend it to other people?”

Her reply:

“Assuming I saw that movie in a theater and liked it, I would suspect that I had been drugged by scientologists. Who had also implanted receptors in my teeth, and maybe were trying to turn me into a thetan, because, if I saw that movie in a theatre and liked it, no level of paranoia would be too extreme, and I’m quite sure I would spend the rest of my life in a padded cell.”


—-

That about sums it up, folks. Old Dogs: If you liked it, you’ve been drugged by Scientologists.

It's kind of beautiful in a way just how awful Old Dogs is. Can John Travolta and Robin Williams create the worst family comedy of all time?

Jennifer's sister needs to write a movie. Cause what she described is waaaaay better than this over-ripe piece of putridity.

George, that is a dangerous challenge to be issuing to Travolta & Williams. They may just take you seriously.

On the one hand, I enjoyed watching these idiots get abused by animals. On the other hand, OH, SWEET JESUS! THE BURNING! OH, MY GOD, THE BURNING! I CAN SMELL MY BRAIN ROASTING INSIDE MY SKULL!

Seth Green seems to be spending the bulk of his career trying to figure out whether or not our love for him is unconditional. It is not.

Also this trailer reminded me that I haven't heard anything about the Human Centipede for a while. Just sayin'.

Made it to 1:17, and my whole state is dumber for my having watched that, and my state is West Virginia, so that's HARD.

On the bright side, you can send all the hated family members to the theater to see this on Thanksgiving, ensuring that they kill the shit out of themselves and rid your tree of the bad apples.
Walt Disney is all about the families, you see.

TSF, one of the stars is quoted as saying there may be a more intense Centipede sequel next year.

Kballs, there's a new picture coming out called Thankskilling, about a wise cracking murderous turkey. With the start on Eli Roth's "Thanksgiving" awaiting the time and money left over from his completion of another film, this, sadly, may be the best entry in the underserved Thanksgiving horror sub genre for a while.

It says a lot about my state of mind today that I saw the title of this thread and immediately thought it was something to do with my ears.

Posted by: PaddyDog at October 20, 2009 11:45 AM

Thread derailer: what is the worst family comedy of all time?

I think I'd go with Are We There Yet, but sometimes I have a soft spot of Ice Cube.

Christmas with the Kranks. A film so bad, Eli Roth cries like a little girl when forced to watch it.

Posted by: Doctor Controversy at October 20, 2009 11:50 AM

Ugh, Christmas with the Kranks. A piece of shit movie based on a piece of shit "novel". Thanks for recommending that one to me Dad!

Ice Age II. I could not wait to get the fuck out of there.

Dear Seth Green,

You are effing adorable, and wicked talented,but if I ever catch you wearing mascara un-ironically again, we are THROUGH.

Love and kisses,
Lwa'e'.

Context: My mother is a woman who abadonded me as a child, passive-aggressively called me fat throughout my teen years and encouraged an eating disorder in my 20's.

They had this trailer up in the theater when I saw "The Informant!". I went to see it with my mother and she was laughing hysterically throughout the whole trailer. By the end, she said she wanted to see it because it looked funny. I have never hated her more in my entire life.

In order to qualify as the worst family comedy of all time, I'd say the biggest indicator is paring an annoying family movie star (Tim Allen, Robin Williams, Donny Osmond) with a formerly controversial or funny actor (Eddie Murphy, Ice Cube, Danny de Vito, Robin Williams again). If you can't find the second one, you can substitute them with Martin Lawrence, or a former Academy Award contenter (John Travolta, William H. Macy, Robert de Niro, Nicholas Cage, Robin Williams yet again).

Just about any movie that qualifies under those circumstances may very well be the worst, but seeing as Robin Williams pops up in three of those categories, and he brought along John Travolta for the ride, this may very well be not just the worst family comedy ever, but the worst movie ever.

The world can't end soon enough.

Why does Seth Green insist on being a part of these piles of celluloidung? He played the same part in Without a Paddle, did he not? It wasn't funny then, either.
He's better than that [I thought].

Posted by: Rykker at October 20, 2009 1:58 PM

That movie is called "Welcome Home Roscoe Jenkins", you may have forgotten it existed, George. It's really that bad.

Posted by: Optimus Rhyme at October 20, 2009 4:13 PM

What the fuck is happening with John Travolta's eyebrows? And why is Oz wearing so much makeup. He looks like a kewpie doll.

Posted by: Finn at October 20, 2009 5:11 PM

Oh Seth. Why must you continue to hurt me when I show you nothing but love? *sniff*

Posted by: Shay at October 20, 2009 5:20 PM

I refuse to watch this trailer on the grounds that it may kill the final bit of faith I have in Robin Williams and Seth Green.

Posted by: meaux at October 20, 2009 6:42 PM

Sirs,

Please cease and desist this inane fuckery immediately. You have destroyed our goodwill for John Travolta and Robin Williams. They have been dead to us for years. You cannot have Seth Green too. Please release him into Pajiba custody at once or feel the wrath that is the Murdertank.

Yours,

greer

I think this is what killed Bernie Mac.

Posted by: Codger (aka Jennifer) at October 20, 2009 7:42 PM

Wow, that's a lot of makeup. Tranny-levels of makeup.

Posted by: Lizzle at October 20, 2009 8:38 PM

Oz, dude, you turned Willow gay for THIS?

re: Seth Green's makeup - I fear it will all be explained in the movie. Like he's their hilarious gay friend, or he's a mime, or something else equally unfunny.

Posted by: Edith at October 21, 2009 2:55 AM

What's up with John Travolta's hair/eyebrows?

Why is Seth Green in this?

And didn't Bernie Mac die?

Posted by: Grafty at October 21, 2009 6:30 AM

Dear everyone:
The answer is "paycheck".
Love, Whorish Mouth

Posted by: Whorish Mouth at October 21, 2009 8:21 AM

You fuckers made me watch that clip a second time because I didn't see anything special about the way Seth Green looked. Fortuantely I only had to watch it up to the 49 second mark and hit pause. And yeah, sitting here looking at it I'd have to agree he has a lot of makeup on. But not so much that he looked like a clown or a mime. I'd have to question the sexuality of any guy looking close enough at Seth to even notice that shit.
