This Is WAR. This Is SACRIFICE. This Operation Is TERMINATED.

Below is the trailer for Unthinkable. I’d never heard of Unthinkable until I saw this trailer. It comes from director Gregor Jordan, and if you haven’t heard of him, it’s only because his films don’t deserve to be seen, despite his ability to nab fairly high-caliber stars (The Informers, Buffalo Soldiers).

To be honest, I probably wouldn’t have made it to second number four of this trailer if Michael Sheen hadn’t been in second number two. Michael Sheen has one of the best voices in cinema, although Gregor Jordan seems content to waste it with a lot of yelling. Sam Jackson, Carrie Ann Moss, Brandon Routh, and Martin Donovan also star. They also yell. Dumb things. Really fucking dumb things. Like, “If those bombs go off, THERE WILL BE NO CONSTITUTION.”

Count the overcooked yell-y cliches. I ran out of toes and fingers at around the 62nd second mark.

I can't watch it right now because I'm at work but yelling cliches only works for me when it's Jack Bauer. "People could die, dammit."

"No I can't stop yelling, cuz that's how I talk! You ain't never seen my movies?!"

"MOTHERFUCKER!"

Oh, he'll say it. Just wait.

Yes, they deserved to die and I hope they burn in hell!

I think that I'll just inject one of those yell-y cliches into every conversation I have today. That should get me to about 9:00 tonight, right?

I have my new writing challenge. I always try to work the most ridiculous phrases I come across into my stories and other assorted writings. Now I have to use "If those bombs go off, there will be no constitution" into something ASAP. I am writing a final paper on satirical science fiction with a professor who encourages headings in academic writings. I have an in.

If that popcorn burns in the office microwave, THERE WILL BE NO CONSTITUTION!

I've had it with these motherfucking nuclear weapons in these motherfucking major American cities!

Love is in the air! People who's common bond is their taller than average height and a personal relationship is their goal. Finding love, dating and romance in real life is enough of a daunting task itself; now throw HEIGHT into the mix and you know what we mean! ____Tallmingle.com____ is the Internet's only true place dedicated 100% to helping TALL singles find their true someone special!
We cater solely to that small niche group of singles who would like to look their date square in the eyes and not the top of their heads OR those TALL people admirers! Many are not as fortunate to be able to stand heads above the rest and prefer to date people who do!

LOUD NOISES!!: THE MOVIE!!!!!!

Somewhere, in a heavily-guarded lair buried in an active volcano, Dick Cheney is watching an advance copy of this film and fapping himself absolutely raw.

Where the hell does a guy like Michael Sheen get 3 nuclear bombs from?! I mean aren't countries like Iran and North Korea having trouble even getting 1?

Posted by: Chris at April 12, 2010 11:20 AM

Crap that's an awesome idea. I'm going to have to use one of these horrible phrases in a conversation today.

What others can be thrown out there?!

If the Pomeranians don't go walkies, THERE WILL BE NO CONSTITUTION!

Two things:

A.) Towards the end of the trailer, it feels like they crossed 24 with one of those "Learning Center" commercials. I was waiting for Carrie Anne Moss to break out in, "Face it, I'm not GETTING into college." (In case you've somehow missed the suck, here's your education : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N8dGsH-yBjI&feature=player_embedded)

B.) Samuel L. Jackson is Black Bauer 2.0. Tyler DFC, back me up on this. (RIP Curtis Manning.)

Ah, the WTF Blender technique for casting was applied here. We have an AC-TOOOR (Mr. Sheen), a WHITE-PEOPLE-LOVE-HIM-SO-HE'S-IN-EVERYTHING guy (Mr. Jackson), a LEVEL-OF-ATRACTIVENESS-DEPENDS-UPON-THE-LIGHTING woman (Mrs. Moss), and a NO-TALENT-ASSCLOWN (Routh).

YOU CAN'T HANDLE THE TRUTH!!!
Wait, it isn't in there? Well, it SHOULD be.

I want to go to your sister's house but THERE'S. NO. TIME.

This is KBALLS. This is PAJIBA.

This comment is TERMINATED.

This is WAR. This is SACRIFICE. This is YOUR SECRET SANTA.

If you leave me alone in a Krispy Kreme, THERE WILL BE NO MORE DONUTS!

Posted by: Kballs at April 12, 2010 12:36 PM

Doc: Can't see the trailer at work. I'll get back to you. Is the following said at any point?

THIS WILL COST LIVES! THERE'S NO TIME! WE'RE TOO LATE!

Posted by: TylerDFC at April 12, 2010 12:37 PM

That is one classy mess of hollerin' actressin' up in there.

The "O Fortuna" choir in the background doesn't hurt either.

I notice that Samuel L. Jackson has a shaved head. And that means this shit is SERIOUS.

"THIS OPERATION IS TERMINATED!"

"IF THIS OPERATION IS TERMINATED, THERE WILL BE NO CONSTITUTION!"

This constipation is TERMINATED!

No, wait...

This CONSTITUTION IS OPERATED!

Shit, no. WTF?

I'm tired.

Haven't we learned that torture never gets you the answers you want?

When people are being tortured they tell you want you to hear, not necessarily the truth.

Am I alone here?

This movie is fucking retarded.

Not to mention the best tortures are:
Cutting off someone eyelids.
Ripping out fingernails.
Slowly crushing testicles.

Did you know in Iraq one of their torture techniques was to dissect someones hand...literally.

I personally think taking a glass thermometer, shoving it in the urethra of a man's dick, and breaking it with a small hammer is the best torture.

Posted by: DeistBrawler at April 12, 2010 2:37 PM

I hear Michael Sheen is being given the Mel Gibson 'best actor in a torture movie' award for this. Former winners include Willem Defoe and Jim Caviezel. Apparently the trophy is gold plated nipple clamps.

"..and you will know my name is the Lord....
Sorry, worng movie...

Posted by: Odnon at April 12, 2010 2:54 PM

THERE'S. NO. TIIIIIIIME.

Posted by: DontStopNow at April 12, 2010 3:43 PM

I'm glad no one quoted my favorite yelling cliche that's featured in this trailer:

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!

**Notice** Former best use of said quote is by Darth Vadar in Star Wars Episode 3: Revenge of the Sith.

Posted by: Littlejon2001 at April 12, 2010 4:06 PM

I'm going to ignore the fact that you just spelled Vader...Vadar.

May god have mercy on your soul.

Posted by: DeistBrawler at April 12, 2010 6:37 PM

I DON'T KNOW WHAT WE'RE YELLING ABOUT!

Man, the Cliche-o-Meter 5000 must have overheated generating the dialogue for this one.

Posted by: Skewicide Blonde at April 12, 2010 7:14 PM

Fuck me, I will see some Samuel L Jackson shit for some crazyfreakass, topless Michael Sheen.
