Movie Trailer Thread

[Nash Diesel]

I'm still not 100% sure how Cocaine Bear is going to land honestly, not from just the one trailer anyway.

And there really isn't room for both, we're seeing this play out right now with original films only staying in theaters long enough to allow them to make oscar nomination lists before being shutttled off to streaming services. It's just a supply/demand thing and people are demanding with their wallets by and large that they want blockbustery franchisy rebooty films and really not a whole lot else.

Doesn't it feel like that's how it's always been though? Movies that didn't have the budget, the marketing, the names, they were there at the same time but maybe only in 800 theaters for a month. The upside now is that the turnaround is faster and the ability to see these movies is much more accessible in the modern era.

Plus the truth is technology has really made a difference. It's not the 80's fault that they didn't have the ability or confidence in say comic book characters to make that happen. Looking back at a movie like Dolph Lundgren's Punisher, I personally feel like that is more along the lines of what people enjoyed about the Netflix show that grittiness. It might just come down to studios not willing to put serious money behind a market that wasn't completely mainstream like it would become.

It's almost like the comic book movie genre replaced the "solo dude action movie" that was prevelant in the 80's and 90's. Kind of like how that genre took over from the Westerns/War movies. Now the solo badass guy might get a big release depending on what The Rock or Liam Nessen are up to. Usually it's straight to the streaming platform, digital Video City I guess.

Cocaine Bear won't even make as much as money as the live action Super Mario.

Super Mario fears Cocaine Bear.

Seriously, I'm sure it'll just be a little head turner and that'll be that. Probably will flop, but dang it looks ludicrously fun.

Cocaine Bear v. Mansquito

[mth]

This looks like it could be pretty damn fun.

[Percussion]

I'm pretty fuckin down for that..

[Rancid_Planet]

DINOSAWRS!

[Fro]

This looks good.

[virms]

This actually looks pretty good.

This found-footage horror movie looks like it could be good. I mean the trailer isn't very revealing (which is nice) but it's getting some good buzz.

Judging from this trailer, it looks like your typical found footage movie. The quotes use good words too.

The found footage well dried up a long time ago so it's interesting to just see this one pop up. It's cool to see, but it still comes off as yet another ripoff of a Blair Witch Project ripoff. It's the exact template.

[Nash Diesel]

Found footage movies are very hard to pull off because it just winds up being nothing but jump scares and/or shaky cam bullshit.

Blair Witch did so well because a lot of the masses bought into it being real. Probably the closest this generation will get to something like Cannibal Holocaust level "IS THIS REAL!?!?!" So now that we're in on the joke so to speak it's really hard to make good ones that aren't just jump scares. Paranormal Activity had a couple entries that were pretty decent but again, it was all about the jump scares.

[Rancid_Planet]

I fucking love found footage. You have no idea. Ever see Bad Ben? Art.

[Fro]

I like found footage when it’s truly authentic. I found some VHS tapes buried under a wooden plank marked with a deer femur in the woods behind my house the other day. I don’t have a VHS player anymore so I need to borrow one or order one and then I’m going to get the popcorn out and make a night of it.

Hey guys Fro is gonna die!

You can usually find a used VHS player at goodwill for about $5

This is false

[mth]

You spelled 'correct' wrong, Don.

[Fro]

Yea. I’m fine with saying they weren’t great but they were at least decent.

[Donald]

Granted I haven't seen all of them, but the first was such a big disappointment for me I can only imagine the rest are the same.

I think I saw 4 and the Marked Ones too.

I think I saw the first 3 and the 1st and 3rd were pretty good. I haven't watched them a 2nd time so they probably don't hold up.

Fast X, I am so in.

I just hope they don’t do something dumb and kill a character off; we lost one in real life, would love to see them end this franchise on a happy note…

[Fro]

I'm not a big FF fan, but I'm not a hater either. As far as FF trailers go, that Fast X trailer was a little weak IMO. The F7 trailer was a high water mark for action trailers IMO. That was a trailer that made me (a non-FF fan) need to go see that movie. This one? Eh, not loving it.

Trailer rating: 5/10

We have 2 more after this. Vin Diesel, big D&D nerd, talks about how these movies are all in sets of 3 and somehow that's related.

I enjoy these movies. Tokyo Drift is the only one I haven't seen so I should get on that. I even like Hobbs and Shaw, so hopefully we get some more of that spin off.

I absolutely love this franchise. “Tokyo Drift” is my favorite movie in the series, because it features the best character in the series: Han Lue.

“Hobbs and Shaw” was pretty good, I’m definitely in for more spin off action. I feel like so long as Vin is feeling it and Universal is bankrolling it, we’ll see more material beyond the original crew. Maybe the cousins (Dom/Letty and Brian/Mia’s kids), set ~20 years in the future?

I'm impressed but not shocked the franchise has been able to last. It was a little questionable with Tokyo like, did they finally blow their wad? Then FF4 came out and I actually like the newer ones more than the earlier ones. Especially the one with Gina Carano.

[Donald]

I wonder if they are all on a streaming service, as I haven't seen any of them. It's Universal right? Might all be on Peacock.

[BigAl]

The Fast and The Furious is one of the best movie remakes. Easily top five. If they make 100 of them I’ll watch every single one multiple times.

They're on something, I believe HBO Max to be honest.
