I definitely got comedy from the trailer--not as dry as the comedy in the book, but hard to get that tone into a trailer.
Lorne: Snakes? Uh-huh. And they came out of your what? Okay. Okay, well, did they get up there themselves or is this part of a, you know, a thing? No, I'm not judging...Do we fight snakes? Angel: Only if they're giant. Or demons. Or giant demons. Are they giant demon snakes? Lorne: Well, unless this guy's 30 feet tall, I'm thinking they're of the garden variety.

A place to talk about movies--Old and new, good and bad, high art and high cheese. It's the place to place your kittens on the award winners, gossip about upcoming fims and discuss DVD releases and extras. Spoiler policy: White font all plot-related discussion until a movie's been in wide release two weeks, and keep the major HSQ in white font until two weeks after the video/DVD release.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
I haven't seen any early reviews express outrage at a genre switch, so I think it's a trailer thing.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
The Pacifier trailer was funnier than the HHTTG one. That's just not right.

Time for a rewatch
We can watch it on Saturday, if you wanna.
I'll watch the HHTTG trailer when I get home, because I don't have any speakers hooked up to the work computer.

So come, my friends, be not afraid/We are so lightly here/It is in love that we are made; In love we disappear
We can watch it on Saturday, if you wanna.
Ooo, good plan!

Unusually and exceedingly peculiar and altogether quite impossible to describe
The Pacifier trailer
I can't stop laughing at that trailer, all because of the "We're going to be late!" "Not on MY watch!" scene, when the minivan screeches into a parallel-parking spot, the door flings open, and the little girl hurls herself out, yelling "LAND!!!"

God, I'm laughing just reading the description. I think The Pacifier has every reason to suck, but damn if it didn't crack me up. If Vin works the same sort of self-deprecating humour with a good script, it might be fun.

Okay, and it's also really funny seeing a duck attacking Vin Diesel, too.

Ducks are comedy GOLD, man. Funniest bird ever.
