I fucking love movies. I think the ability to take a story and turn it into a visual masterpiece is incredible–something that drives us, our society, and our imaginations. They become part of the fabric of our lives. The movie really is a great American art form.
And no matter how good they are, it is so satisfying to fuck with them. I fuck with movies on stage every Saturday night, and ScreenJunkies fucks with them with their Honest Trailers. Every movie trailer makes the movie look fucking incredible–I mean, people went to go see The Talented Mr. Ripley, didn’t they? ScreenJunkies seeks to end that shit, and end it in the best possible way.

The Talented Mr. Ripley gets 83% on Rotten Tomatoes. I saw that movie and thought it fucking sucked. Rotten Tomatoes is generally pretty reliable but they just plain missed on this one.
I really got sucked in by the trailer for Jacob’s Ladder. That movie was nothing like the trailer made it out to be and I was really pissed that I threw my time and money at that piece of garbage. This is why I’ve seen 10 movies or less at the theater in the last 15 years. If I don’t like what’s on the DVD player, I’m out a dollar.
Is there anybody don’t want to go theaher ?

These are freakin’ great. I want to see one done for Out of Africa, the most boring movie in the history of the world that everybody inexplicably loved.
