  • Trailers Without Pity: Piranha 3-D

    In case it hasn’t been made obvious by comics I have published or by the recap I did of Aquaman, I like a good fish joke. Hell, I like a bad fish joke. If there is a fish in the joke I will probably find it amusing. Fish are funny. I hope you agree.

    So when we looked at the schedule and saw that Piranha 3-D was on its way to theaters, we could not resist. It was as if it was being dangled in front of us like something you put at the end of an object so that an animal will come and eat it. What’s the word for that?

    You know, you use it to catch something? It’ll come to me.

    Oh yes. Cheese. In a mousetrap.

    So, here we are devouring Piranha 3-D for Trailers Without Pity. Embedding has been flaky lately, so if the video below doesn’t play, go to the direct URL at TWOP.

    This was a very fun one to do.

  • Trailers Without Pity: The A-Team

    Pablo and I never watched The A-Team growing up (it’s explained in the video), but that didn’t stop us from examining the rich excess that is the trailer for this summer movie creation.

    I know there’s a market for movies like this, just like there’s a market for off-brand Santa Fe mango chutney, but the only circumstance I could see myself seeing this movie is if someone paid me to go and then paid me again after the film was over, the money handed over in a burlap bag marked, “Dubiously Gotten $$$.”

    Nevertheless, the trailer was fun to poke at, at least, for Trailers Without Pity and for us that’s all that counts.

  • Trailers Without Pity: Iron Man 2

    (reposted from a Bloggystyle post from a few months ago)

    This one was kind of a no-brainer — how could we not do Iron Man 2?

    But within that easy free-throw range, I think we did some fun stuff and Pablo’s channeling of Terrence Howard whispering, “Oh, no, he flew away…” cracks me up every single time I hear it.Start with $250 — let your money work smarter State Investment Platform Reviews.

    So, here ya go. New episode of Trailers Without Pity. Next up, we’re doing Kick-Ass and Sex and the City 2.
