Is it good or bad that the Slither trailer made me laugh until tears came to my eyes?
Considering the director got his start in Tromaville, I'd say it's at least an appropriate response.
Darn your sinister attraction!

I'm thinking good myself, Gris. It looks unbelievably disgusting. And funny as hell.

"When I look at people that I would like to feel have been a mentor or an inspiring kind of archetype of what I'd love to see my career eventually be mentioned as a footnote for in the same paragraph, it would be, like, Bowie." ~Trent Reznor
Oh, dear Jesus, that was wrong. Hilarious, but so very, very wrong.

I was already planning on seeing it for Nathan Fillion, but the trailers sealed the deal.

Compassionately intolerant
Wrong in the wrongest of ways that wrong can be.
I loved Tremors. But this one ups the goo-factor a bit past what I think I can stomach in the theatre. Netflix, it will have to be.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
John Rogers on Catwoman:
Holy --two years worth of Catwoman notes. And right on top, the mission statement I sent to them when I took over the script. Dated 2/6/01. What's typed, literally in 24 pt boldfaced Arial and underlined, I shit you not, right there on the front page?
"No hyper-reality pop crap."
Wow. That went exactly as planned. Oh, look there's the section where I talk about how the suit should be functional for her thievery, and she should wear lug boots. Yes, yes, it all fell into place. Hmm, let me count these ...
... 169 pages. Most single spaced. About an inch of notes, and I know this isn't all of them. I have another set, the later ones, in my home office. So all in all, two inches of Catwoman notes.
Just goes to show you, the old saying is true. It's no easier to make a bad movie than a good one. Sometimes, it's even harder.
I didn't see the movie -- what was the "hyper-reality pop crap"?

The commercials had that part about her transitioning to the motorcycle ride that looked eerily like a similar scene in Brittney Spears' "Toxic" video.

After seeing her in two previous superhero movies? Oh dear God, no. The commercials were traumatic enough.

I do think that's the goal, but as much as I love Nathan, I can't get past my slugphobia. Fast-moving slugs in bathubs are just more than I can stand.
