Trailer Trash...And More!

Now that election season is over, it's time to get back to what really matters: obsessing over movies and television. Read on...
  • I guess you have to take the good with the bad. This past week, two highly-anticipated trailers premiered for two highly-anticipated movies: Spider-Man 3 and The Simpsons Movie. The Spider-Man 3 trailer (which can be found at ifilm.com) was exciting, and showcases just how chaotic this third installment is going to be. On the other hand, The Simpsons Movie trailer (which can be found here) is just plain awful. I expect a "world premiere" trailer to be funny and/or provide some insight into the general plot of the movie...this achieved neither. I expected better from you, Mr. Groening.
  • I have to say, I have never seen acting so poor as the acting in this clip of Law & Order. And, the acting is done by none other than (no surprise here) Chevy Chase! On a recent episode of Law & Order, Chevy Chase plays a washed up, drunk, abusive actor that goes crazy when he is pulled over...sound like any celebrities we know? It's clear they wanted to achieve that "ripped from the headlines" feeling, but this is just laughable.
  • If you're like me or Mr. Cooper, you've already spent countless hours watching dozens of Borat clips on YouTube...BUT, have you seen this interview that Sacha Baron Cohen did with David Letterman as himself? Even though it's from a few years ago, this is one of the rare occurrences where Cohen has done an interview as himself. It's great to see how well-mannered the man being the racist, sexist, perverted Kazakhstani journalist really is.

Chevy Chase should really stick to comedy films.

For Your Consideration: Chevy Chase, Outstanding Guest Actor in a Drama Series, "Law & Order"

Wow, terrible. I really can't believe they put him in a room with a Jew though. That ain't right.

Hey, there's a good name for a play! "Room with a Jew". Starring Chevy Chase. I smell Tony!
