Between this and Pineapple Express, August is going to be a bitching month.

Yeah, the R-rated trailer was advertised during Dodgeball a few times, it looks fantastic. I'm guessing it spoils everything, but I don't care, I can't believe it's a mainstream movie cuz yeah, looks so far out there.

I'm still giggling about the end of that trailer.

This movie is going to be insane. Robert Downey Jr. should be elected king of the galaxy.

That red band made my morning. This movie is going to kill me, I know it. I love all 3 of the leads and they all appear to be in prime form. Really looking forward to it now.

I was never ever really a fan of Robert Downey, but after seeing Iron Man and the potential of this movie I am now.

It's a pretty funny movie and Downey completely steals the show. Every single line he utters is magical; the entire time you're like "Don't take the camera off Downey!" I could literally watch his scenes over and over and over again. The redband gives something away I wish it didn't, but it's definitely worth checking out.

This and Pineapple Express (which is hilarious, if also super bloody) make for a fun summer.

The trailer during SNL looked promising.

if you think the redband was good, this new international trailer just came out and its got a lot of new funny scenes:



Jack Black is perfect for that role, I'm looking forward to him most.

Looks very funny. I have been pretty disappointed so far this summer, hoping that TDK and this will live up to the potential.

Sorry to be the odd man out, but this doesn't look funny. Especially if all the "funny stuff" is in the trailer.

Is this the one that's supposed to have a incredibly foul-mouthed fat-suited Tom Cruise in a cameo?
