I was pretty certain the overwrought gaudy nonsense of  Baz Luhrmann was going to miss the mark with an adaptation of The Great Gatsby, and this sleek bullshit disaster trailer has done nothing to dissuade me of this notion. I hate this trailer a million times over.

Dios mio, today is the day of teaser clips. The latest and most anticipated one for yours truly is from The Master. I can’t wait for this next flick from P.T. Anderson, and even though I’ve been riding it for a while I really haven’t given much thought to  Joaquin Phoenix or his role in the movie. That ends now.

Michel Gondry is awesome. I haven’t seen The Green Hornet, but he’s still awesome. The dude plays with the form of film in ways equally energetic, youthful, and inventive, and I can get behind that. Here is the trailer for his next flick The We and The I, which will be dropping at Cannes. What exactly is the movie about? I’m not certain. I do know I want to see it.

From what I can tell, the majority of the new footage in this four-minute preview of Amazing Spider-Man  comes at the beginning. Unfortunately what could be a pretty righteous moment is marred by vomit-worthy dubstep and dollar store special effects.

What do you think? Check it out and let me know.

I thought that Tom Cruise in Rock of Ages  was going to be a goddamn train wreck. What I didn’t realize was that the movie wasn’t going to take itself seriously. It’s a uh, comedy? I’m not certain. All I know is that while I watching the trailer I felt moderately entertained while trying to figure out how serious this flick’s tone was intended  to be.

You’re unlikely to see a more amazing  thing today. Behold the trailer for Step Up Revolution, something so chuck full of insanity that I wish I was there snorting the drugs and krumping to Pitbull while they wrote this script. It’s so, so, so goddamn horrible. I need it.

Here, have another trailer for Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter. Yes, I’m still excited for it. No, I don’t blame you for not being the excite.

So, The Avengers  trailer now comes flavored in German. With that new delicious language comes a few extra moments of Brucey, Cap, and Anthony Stark joking around. In German. Despite the barrier (for me), you can still dig the rapport.

Hit the jump to check it out.

There was a lot of hubbub about the release of a trailer for yet another Burton/Depp collaboration,  Frankenweenie. I didn’t cover it, because frankly I don’t give a fuck about Depp/Burton collaborations anymore. Then I thought, what if the denizens of OL do care? So here it is. In case you haven’t seen it yet. Yay! Burton! Depp! Quirky! Wee!

Last week our own Patrick (Rockadoodle) Cooper texted me that he had finished the novel John Dies At The End. He told me it was deec but that he was still excited for the movie. Being an egregious uncultured asshole, I hadn’t heard of the novel or the movie adaptation. I went about correcting this, and I have since watched the trailer way too many times. Surreal and hypnotic, it seems to be tying directly into the part of my brain that loves the game Alan Wake  or the novel House of Leaves.
