Puss In Boots Trailer: Get Bent, Dreamworks

I have to say, the Puss In Boots trailer surprised me. I was expecting another insipid, stupid, aggravating entry into the Shrek universe that would cause me to roll my eyes so far back that I was staring at my own brain. That’s the reaction I usually get when I see a trailer for one of the Shrek sequels nowadays. But Dreamworks surprised me by making it look much, much worse.

First of all, starting it with an Inception joke? Good thinking. Very clever. And then it just gets worse:

Yep. That’s 65 seconds you ain’t gettin’ back, kids. It may not seem like a long time, but a few decades from now, you’re going to be lying on your deathbed and the final seconds are ticking past and the last fetid breath rattles out of your lungs. And you’re going to hate yourself, because that’s 65 seconds of your life that you wasted on this piece of shit trailer.

You’re welcome.

Happy Monday.

Read the review + chuckled + skipped the trailer = 30 seconds wellspent.
Nice try at sucking me in to your hell, TK. As we say here in the Alps: Ätsch!

I'm with Cinekat on this one. Saved those 65 seconds plus all the money I would have spent on mind bleach.

"It's a kids movie"! The pull quote from every hack who ever vomited a badly made, ill thought out piece of flotsam into cineplexes nationwide. Aren't the children our future? When you go to resturants the children's menu may be simpler, but it's not filled with ground glass mac and cheese and antifreeze laced pasta. We're in a golden age of children's movies, with Pixar kicking out smart touching entertainment,setting the bar for other studios to produce things like "How to Train your Dragon". That's children's entertainment. This is just a raw money grab, grabbing our children and shaking them until every dime comes bouncing out. But don't worry, it's just a kid's movie so feel free to just crap all over the little rugrats.

Sometimes I wonder if Pedro Almodovar lies awake at night wondering how it all came to this.

I watched it because I figure I'll have to see it on TV at some point anyway. I've made a huge mistake. Each time I have to view that I'm going to lose a large quantity of brain cells. It would have been more effective if they just made a 3 second commercial saying "We're making a Puss in Boots movie. Fuck you."

"Dude its a kids movie."

So that means it shouldn't be good? Or smart? Or actually funny?

Please quiet your pie hole, sir. Shame on you.

What the fuck was that?

No really, I expect an answer.

All I'm saying is maybe your expectations are a little high. Was that the best trailer ever? Absolutely not. Was it the abortion of a trailer the author of the post described it as? Hardly. Not every childrens movie has to be amazing. Do you know why? Because they are kids and they are easily entertained. It was just a teaser... get off your high horse... kids will like it.

Wait - did I just see a cat crotch shot?

I watched the trailer, but that's because I consider life, by and large, to be meaningless. I'm just trying to go as far as I can in years while having as much sex as I can while making as much money as I can before it all ends. The paltry 65 seconds this trailer wasted didn't even register as a hiccup.

Somewhere, Christopher Nolan is crying inside.

I wanted to like this because Puss looks a lot like my cat. Now that I've seen it, my desire to see the film was gone in 65 seconds.

Dreamworks cats don't have genitalia.
