This Week: The Rum Diary, Steven Spielberg’s War Horse, Adam Sandler in drag, and more.

(click to enlarge)

The newest Rum Diary poster looks a liiiittle closer to the tone of the book, but it still seems… I don’t know… cutesy (“he’s only wearing one sock, lol!”). But I don’t know what I expected. At some point, we’ve all got to face that they’re not going to put a girl getting gang raped on the poster. Also, I realize this wouldn’t be accurate to the source material, but it’d be awesome if Johnny Depp was wearing that big lizard tail from Fear and Loathing. And if anyone knows where I can get one of those, please, inquire within. I don’t have money, but I’m willing to barter. (*bats eyes, tries to do sexy dance, trips over cat*)

Yesterday saw the release of two new international trailers for Adam Sandler’s Jack & Jill, and not too long before that brought the trailer for Bucky Larson: Born to be a Star. I think we’re already all too aware of what Jack & Jill looks like, and expected as much from a movie about Sandler playing his own obnoxious twin sister (RATED ARG FOR PIRATES F*CK YOU!). But having been a long-time Nick Swardson fan, I’d held out hope that Bucky Larson would finally be the film where he got to do more than be the least-terrible part of a Happy Madison film. Sadly, it looks… well, like every other Happy Madison movie (with Sandler listed as co-writer). I hate to judge a book by its cover, but there’s no way in 2011 a movie can be good when the lead character is in Mexican sitcom make-up (he looks like the Mexican television scenes in Arrested Development — all he’s missing is the freckles and lollipop). The only question now is: which of these looks more terrible? Let’s compare!

George C. Scott is NOT a fan of Adam Sandler’s new Jack and Jill trailer. Which is weird, because after the jump, Robert DeNiro seems to love it.

Courtesy of Noah Harald, here’s a mash-up of the actual trailer for Adam Sandler’s Jack and Jill, and the South Park parody of it. An obvious mash-up choice, perhaps, but still fun. That’ll do, internet, that’ll do. The best part about South Park’s parody is that because they got it out before Jack and Jill had a trailer, when people saw the actual Jack and Jill trailer, at least half of them thought, “Wait, isn’t this the fake movie from South Park?” Mmm, that’s a good burn.

Also, did anyone else notice that in the film, Jack apparently has two children, an Amish girl with a doll replica of herself and an Indian kid with a dildo strapped to his head? I feel like not enough is being made of this.
