Trailers | December 21, 2009 | Comments (30)


What happens when you get some of the world’s most obnoxious celebrities (Taylor Lautner, Jessica Alba, Julia Roberts, Ashton Kutcher, Jessica Biel, Emma Roberts, Patrick Dempsey, Taylor Swift, Jamie Foxx, Queen Latifah, Shirley MacLaine, Carter Jenkins, and George Lopez), plus a few not-so-obnoxious celebrities who will have a grand total of 6 minutes of screen time (Bradley Cooper, Anne Hathaway, Jennifer Garner, and Topher Grace) and whirl them together in a 150-second trailer set to the Black Eyed Peas?

It’s called a vortex of suck, folks. Also known as Valentine’s Day.

Get some!

And then get thee self to a medical practitioner, who might prescribe you some antibiotics. This shit itches … in your brain. And try as you might to scratch it, your goddamn skull will continue to get in the way. My solution? A nice back-scratcher, right through the eyeballs. It’s the only way to effectively reach that itch, and bonus! Your lack of vision will prevent you from watching the trailer again. Besides, if the stick don’t blind you, the pretty probably will.

Ding-dong funky stank:

How is Jennifer Garner qualify as a 'not so obnoxious' celebrity? Obviously you've never seen her interviewed.

So basically, some producers somewhere watched Love Actually and thought it would better with Ashton Kutcher and Jessica Alba.
This is why America cannot have nice things.

WTF? I watched that clip twice and still didn't see the Pacific Princess, Capt. Stubing, Isaac, or Julie Your Cruise Director snorting coke like a banshee.

That song...that godtopus-forsaken song...

I'm losing feeling (woooohoooo) and there's blood hemorrhaging into my brain, and there's blood hemorrhaging into my my brain...the world's going fuzzy (wooooohoooo)

It looks cute, like a movie you can go see with your mom, ie my mom. She freaks at the slightest BOO. My step-dad took her to see 'Audition,' not the greatest choice. She walked out and he stayed.

Anywhoos, also not sure how Carter Jenkins is an obnoxious celebrity, he's so cute and I had to look him up on imdb http://www.imdb.com/name/nm1334396/.

Maybe because he's gonna sleep with Emma Roberts in the film. He was Hugh Jackman's kid on "Viva Laughlin," you can't hate a kid for trying.

Wait! How is Topher Grace obnoxious?

Yes, yes he looks bad with blond hair/destroyed the character of Venom, but he was good in 'Traffic' and other things.

Also Patrick Dempsey has awesome hair and I love that the dweeb from 'Can't Buy Me Love' grew up to be such a hottie. I was also going to mention something about 'Grey's,' but then I thought my argument would collapse.

Posted by: kilmo at December 21, 2009 12:04 PM

Whatever, I'm seeing it. Burn me at the stake.

Posted by: DawnDraper at December 21, 2009 12:25 PM

How come everyone is leaving Hector Elizondo off the obnoxious/not obnoxious lists?

Is it because he is too obnoxious?

Is it because he is nowhere even near obnoxious, so far from it actually, that he need not even appear on a list?

Is it because he wreaks of awesome?

Or is it because his name is Hector?

It is isn't it? It's because his name is Hector.

...fucking racists.

Posted by: PissBoy at December 21, 2009 12:26 PM

...and fuck that goddamn stupid Black Eye on Society song for it's improper usage of 'mazel tov'. What the fuck does going to the club have to do with any kind of good fortune?

This song makes me stabby. Fergie...doubly fuck you. I take great joy in calling you Ferguson instead. Why? Anyone familiar with the bundies knows "Ba-woosh!"

Posted by: PissBoy at December 21, 2009 12:31 PM

Fucking Phoenix. Whoring out that song to this shit stain. First that goddamn car commercial borrows 1901 to hawk some turd of an automobile and now they allow Lisztomania to be used for this? It's not selling out, it's buying in, I guess.

Posted by: John Denver's Wingman at December 21, 2009 12:57 PM

Feist, switch Swift for Latifah, and your list is dead right.

Posted by: welldressed at December 21, 2009 12:58 PM

Ditto on the stabby-ness PissBoy. Fuck man, I hate that song. Rhyming Up with Cup does not make you a musician! Also, Wil.I.Am, your fucking name is stupid and I hate you.

Posted by: ashes at December 21, 2009 1:19 PM

John Denver's Wingman: It's actually "Love Today" by Mika. Which also is sad. And I'm with you on that fucking car commercial.

Posted by: DawnDraper at December 21, 2009 1:58 PM

That Black Eyed Peas song is actually the worst pop I've ever heard. This film looks bad too.

Posted by: Steph at December 21, 2009 4:21 PM

No, that's Phoenix at the :30 second mark of the clip, DawnDraper. It's not that they use these great songs to sell things that pisses me off, it's that they use these great songs to sell shitty things. I mean, the corpse isn't even cold yet on Wolfgang Amadeus Phoenix and they're already trying to mount it and fuck it. Necropheliacs one and all.

Posted by: John Denver's Wingman at December 21, 2009 6:17 PM

LOOK at Taylor Lautner's head in that header picture. Just look at it. Stare at it for a moments. WHAT THE FUCK IS WRONG WITH IT?! Is it just me? Is anyone else seeing this?

Posted by: Daniel Hall at December 21, 2009 6:20 PM

My brain says this is horrible, but my ladyparts get all misty. Wait, that sounds like I have some sort of infection.

What I MEANT to say was that the part of my brain that likes Love Actually (throw me to the wolves) thinks this looks cute. The part of my brain that is more stable wants to skin George Lopez, then cover him with rock salt.

Posted by: Ashlie at December 21, 2009 6:31 PM

Ashton Kutcher voice-over + that damn Black Eyed Peas song (no, I will not use the title, no matter how many times they sing it) = instant, horrible, burning-death FAIL.

And you cannot recapture the magic that is Love, Actually without Bill Nighy. That's a fact.

Posted by: MelBivDevoe at December 21, 2009 6:44 PM

"Ding-dong funky stank"

Is this a catch phrase I should have heard of but for my continuous state of uncool or did you make this up?

Either way, I'm stealing it and claiming it for my own.

Posted by: NeoCleo at December 21, 2009 6:52 PM

What the hell is up with that guy's head in the picture? Is it shrunken? I'm freaking out just looking at it.

Posted by: Mick J at December 21, 2009 7:00 PM

Taylor Swift's eyebrows freak me out. Seriously.

Posted by: kiwifrench at December 21, 2009 7:01 PM

John Denver's Wingman: Now I see. Also, good simile.

Posted by: DawnDraper at December 21, 2009 7:38 PM

i gotta holla out some love for queen latifah here.
i love that woman.
go search her music video for UNITY and you'll understand

Posted by: the chaplain at December 21, 2009 7:53 PM

Do Jen Garner and (my boyfriend)Bradley have any screentime together? Cause as an ex-Alias addict, that'd be awesome. Cause Syd's dumb ass SO should've hooked up with Will, more than just the once.

Anyway. I'll see it for Bradley. But probably not in theaters. Maybe.

This trailer looks like a fucking joke.

Literally... it looks like something Funny Or Die would whip up. (Hey, I didn't say funny joke.) It's like they mailed out invitations to all the celebrities who happened to be in town that weekend, booked a few locations, banged out a few script snippets based on the RSVP's, and spent the day reveling in their own omnipotence.

Posted by: Ling at December 21, 2009 8:49 PM

...which is when I replied, 'I didn't get distracted, I was actively engaged in neglecting my responsibilities, you maniac. Also, cast iron skillets do not speak, so this conversation isn't taking place in any kind of familiar reality.'

The Beginning...

Whilst engaging in my daily rounds of mental self-flagellation, I wondered to myself, 'Oh, wither with the Pajiba, anon?' I speak like this in my brain because one of my degrees is in English Literature, and this weekend's thread taught me that I can't let the people know this.

For the love of Pazuzu, don't ask about anything else, that damned English is the closest to 'legitimate' post-secondary blight I've got. I don't want to talk about the rest.

Right, so back on track, I'm an idiot. So, this idiot was scrubbing her skillet (that's not a euphemism) with sea salt, because it's not as if I have any tequila in the house, just bacon grease stains and shame (which are often one in twain). This was turning out to be something of a headache, as I burned my finger on Friday. Not even a colander can break through this 'reptilian only, higher cognitive facility need not apply' brain-firkin. Feckin' firkin.

And as I was watching the trailer, I slammed my burnt finger. But I wasn't distracted by the trailer, I was ignoring the phone call coming my sister (I assume) which would be wondering if I had attended to any of the burning failures I jumped myself into'. So the TRAILER had no effect.

So, I watched it again. We established that I'm an idiot. SO:

The boy had more lines than almost anyone in that trailer, a comment on the talent of his co-stars? I'll bet he's just another mugging 'scamp' who tests the limits of our 'I believe in peace, bitch' stances.

Bradley Cooper, huh? Still? No, he's not a joker-faced bag of de-fortified oatmeal.

Is this Taylor Swift 'Pity Pretty Pony Pity Picked Pickled Pony Piety Peptic Sleepover Parade' thing done? YET?!

There seem to be a lot of 'reboot efforts' in this cast. I will not stay at the Budget Lodge.

I can't say that I've seen enough of Patrick Dempsey to have any real opinion of him (or maybe that fact speaks for itself), but a man cannot live on haircuts alone.

Jessica Alba as a blonde convinces me just a little more than Jessica Alba as a concept. 'WOW'.

The problem with the head on the picture is that due to the fact that 'The Juice has been loose' for quite some time now, his over-taxed musculature can't figure out a way to deal with the impending breast budding, and his head is retreating back into its shell.

Shirley McClain? That's not what Buddy Ebsen told me.

Jennifer Garner wishes she could be as bland as the Biel. Unfortunately, the 'aw shucks' routine is so damned aggressive, it's reeks of 'The lady doth bra burn too much', so you're forced to wince. Maybe they can take up 'dueling gummi worm lips and macrame purses for the actualized woman'.

George Lopez: In the spirit of your groundbreaking comedic skills, I'm going to take a note from your 'If anyone ever criticises my work, I'll say it's because I'm a Chicano person, and THAT's what makes me untouchable, and THAT's what gives me my GIANT head' coursebook.

Ahem.

George Lopez? Try: George 'No-pez'. WHEEEEEEEE!!!

I'M NOT DONE!!!!

Anne Hathaway, know thy namesake. She's the one who got the 'second best bed', are you getting anything from this?

Eric Dane: Starred in the OPEN WATER no one cared about, plays second-fiddle to a guy who would have to save up to be the poor man's Katharine Heigl on a show that no one has cared about since the time people even entertained the idea of trying to pronounce her name correctly. He can't even make a sex tape right. You're dismissed, beta.

The Guy from 'That Terrible Show', This just came in over Twitter: I don't know what 'Twitter' is, but I replaced Demi with Rumer while you were toking-out with some empties you discovered from your January Jones era. You didn't know the difference because you don't know anything. Don't you WISH it were just crow you were eating. Yeah, cry harder, Jocasta.

And YOU, Topher. First. You and Ashes just need to accept that you're 'Chris 1' and 'Chris 2'. And guess who's number two? You left the show (good first step), but you've been downgraded to working with Ashton Kutcher, AGAIN! That's sick! I'm buying a cattle prod, I have to teach you!

Emma Roberts: Your dad looks like a registered sex offender. Also see, 'Emma Roberts'. Filed under, 'Your dad is likely a sex offender'. Also see, 'Emma Roberts'. Filed under, 'Pfft.' And as for your gala-stompin' aunt, you thank GOD that 30 Rock took Mystic Pizza out of your wizened grasp which is so disdainful of the healing properties of potted plants (that's what that meant, right)? Jane Krakowski is now the most endearing thing about you. AND THAT DOESN'T EVEN MAKE SENSE!

Miley? I don't LIKE you!

GARCON? YOU SAID MY HATERADE WOULD BE MOSTLY MILEPEDE-FREE!

Bedtime. I gotta go fail at some more shit tomorrow. Night, Pajiba Buds.

And YOU, Topher. First. You and Ashes just need to accept that you're 'Chris 1' and 'Chris 2'.


I lub you Jo, I really do, you are the queen of the well deserved rants. However, I know(well assume) that your "ashes" refers to the Kutcher. I was slightly offended when I thought you were taking my name in vain, but then I put your insult into context.... I got you and I realize you would never blaspheme my name.

Posted by: ashes at December 22, 2009 3:00 AM

Of course not. No insult intended.

Posted by: Jo 'Mama' Besser at December 22, 2009 12:16 PM
