Very Anxious to Learn the Business

Every fiber of my being tells me to hate the trailers for The Sorcerer’s Apprentice. Sure, much of it is born out of my personal disdain for the disastrous, virus-like career of Nicholas Cage, who is featured in every 2.5 movies to come out of Hollywood. And they’re never good movies. Also, the idea is kind of dumb, as it’s supposed to be a sort of live-action re-imagining of the classic vignette from Fantasia. Also? Jerry Bruckheimer, who takes all good ideas and works very, very hard to make them suck.

And yet… Fuck me. I’m seriously disappointed in myself, because goddamnit, it looks kind of fun. Not good, mind you. But fun. Plus, it’s got Jay Baruchel, and I dig his geeky shtick. If there was some sort of awkward, stuttery nerd-off between him and Michael Cera, I’m taking Baruchel every time. Teresa Palmer is an added bonus — I’ve only seen her in Restraint, but I enjoyed it. And not just because she… well… you should see it. It’s also got Alfred Molina, not to mention Monica Bellucci, who is so hot I think every time I watch her on screen, my glasses melt.

Anyway, here’s the new trailer for The Sorcerer’s Apprentice.

But we’re still not cool, Mr. Cage. Ghost Rider isn’t the type of shit I can just forget, let alone forgive.

Or better yet, a cage match with those two and Jesse Eisenberg -- TO THE DEATH! Winner gets all similar roles for the next 20 years, when they can no longer pass for teenagers.

I'm digging Cage's weave.

Why do I feel like the trailer already showed me all the good bits?

Take off that silly-ass hat.


How badly does this need a Bad Lieutenant: Port of Call New Orleans mashup?

It looks surprisingly good, even Cage looks right for it,that is until he opens his mouth. But you know I only played the trailer for a quick perv of Monica Bellucci's most awesome boobage. But where are the titties???
How dare they buck the trend of showing all the good bits in the trailers and ruining the movie? If they can show one wavy haired, big nosed Tit then surely they can show her's!!!
Damn you Disney, I will now have to abandon work and watch The Brother Hood of the Wolf just to get my Bellucci Boobage fix.

"not to mention Monica Bellucci, who is so hot I think every time I watch her on screen, my glasses melt"

Just your glasses, TK? She makes my panties melt! I would totally go gay for her!

Jay what's his face is ok as long as I'm looking at him as he's talking. When I heard him in a radio interview his voice was like nails on a chalkboard.
He's kind of a nerdy cutie pie.

Sandusky!
If there were a missing link between him and James Franco it would be my brother-in-law. My husband, on the other hand, is somewhere between Jack Black and Bruce Willis. Not a fixed point, he's a little manic depressive.

You know, I pretty much hate Nick Cage, and yet...

There's something about the snippets of his performance in this movie that appeals to me. I think it's that he's not being so gosh-darn earnest all the time. An earnest Nick Cage is an irritating Nick Cage.

But this apparent mix of mischievous and disinterested has me intrigued.

On one hand, the plot looks beyond stupid. On the other hand, a not-taking-the-movie-remotely-seriously nic cage is an awesome nic cage, and that looks like the nic cage we're dealing with here.

Wasn't the old "evil guy is made out bugs" already done in "The Nightmare Before Christmas?"

Who is more explainable in their success, Tom Cruise or Nick Cage???

cause both are universally awful actors and borderline retarded/insane and yet... and yet... they continue to make crazy cash at the box office in movies that somehow worm their way to 'not-suck'.

The only time that I shall speak nicely of Nicholas Cage is in any and all references to Kick Ass.

Damnit. That looks kinda fun.

You're not wrong. When I saw the preview this weekend, my first thought was, "It's The Return of Oogey Boogey, coming to a screen near you!"
