Top 5 terrible films/trailers watched!
oh my gosh…okay I’m going with trailers because I’ve recently been fascinated but what trailers do and don’t work for me so it’s relevant, especially since i sat through so many DREADFUL trailers with you and sebastien, mostly at Widows
1. KIN so the title of this film jumpscared Sebastien @sebastbu and I real bad AND is what kickstarted our new favorite game of “cliche counter” which we now do when watching pretty much any dreadful film trailer. This one started it all. It’s just the most vague and generic trailer I’ve ever seen it’s sort of a masterpiece in its own way.
2. Akira this trailer continued the cliche counter game with Sebastien. We saw this ad both times we saw Widows and god is it also just unbelievably bland and generic and vague. It’s like you tossed every single inspiring pithy line from every single bland Empowered Sci-fi film into a blender and then watered it down. I’m speechless at how boring this trailer is.
3. Dumbo, Lion King, and Aladdin im lumping all together because i hate them all for more or less the same two reasons: these are CGI action movies, not live action movies, the animals in them have zero expression or design or emotion or personality, and WHO CARES. They’re recreations of beloved films but infinitely more commercialized and bland and stupid. There’s absolutely zero reason to care about these films and the trailers REALLY reflect that.
4. The Grinch (2018) kiss my assssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssss. they couldn’t have missed the point more if they fucking TRIIIIIIED.
5. Hellboy okay this one is sort of a sleeper hit but i saw this trailer before Aquaman and it’s the reason i’ve been thinking so much about which trailers do or don’t interest me and why. Like this is a perfectly Fine trailer and honestly i think the movie will probably be fun, but this trailer bored me so so much and i haven’t stopped thinking about it since.
