The Bling Ring: A-Holes Gonna A-Hole

Written by Vince Mancini / 04.24.13

Here’s the full-length trailer for Sofia Coppola’s The Bling Ring, which tells the based-on-a-true-story of a group of high school kids who start robbing celebrities like Paris Hilton so they can be like Lindsay Lohan. Sofia Coppola does a lot of movies about bratty rich kids, which is good, because hey, write what you know (and I don’t mean that facetiously, when bratty rich kids try to write about poor people you get Beasts of the Southern Wild). The challenge here is going to be how to shoot a critique of shallow A-holes without it feeling like “hey, look, here’s some obnoxious kids being obnoxious!” Making it funnier would be a start. Here it sort of just looks like a Disney Channel version of Spring Breakers. And even that movie would be nothing without James Franco talking about his sh*t.

Sofia Coppola’s ‘The Bling Ring’ Has A Trailer

Written by Ashley Burns / 03.08.13

Remember a few years ago when Paris Hilton was still kind of famous for that sex tape, and she was freaking out because someone broke into her house and stole stuff and everyone thought, “Oh great, another sex tape”? Well, Sofia Coppola has written and directed a film about that and similar stories, inspired by a gang that became affectionately known as “The Bling Ring”.

In the film that shares the same name, Emma Watson plays the leader of a gang of douchey teenagers who track celebrities and their appearances on the Internet in order to rob their homes so they, too, can live the glitzy Hollywood life. The true story isn’t much different, as it also involved six douchey teen-ish guys and girls, who stole from the rich to behave like they weren’t poor.

Starring Watson, Leslie Mann, Gavin Rossdale, Taissa Farmiga and others, The Bling Ring has a new trailer and it looks like the kind of movie that’s going to inspire your own douchey teenage kids to get their stupid asses arrested.

Judd Apatow’s This is 40, now with MEGAN FOX IN BRA AND PANTIES!

Written by Vince Mancini / 08.07.12

Universal just released the full-length trailer for Judd Apatow’s This is 40 (opening December 21st), and obviously, since this is a website dedicated to the serious discussion of cinema-films and their place in the annals of celluloid museums art, I tried to pick a screencap that was central to the plot, which just so happens to deal with MEGAN FOX BRA AND PANTIES TAKING HER CLOTHES OFF UPSKIRT LESBIAN KITTENS GOOGLE! and has nothing whatsoever to do with cheap, callow traffic whoring. So as long as we’re clear on that, you can go ahead and click through to see the trailer below, which, just to reiterate, involves Megan Fox taking her clothes off, ie, Megan Fox in her bra and panties getting almost naked, with pictures included of Megan Fox in her underpants probably about to do lesbian stuff.

TRAILER: Judd Apatow’s ‘This is 40′

Written by Vince Mancini / 04.27.12

After the jump, I’ve got the trailer for Judd Apatow’s This is 40, the sort-of sequel to Knocked Up focusing on Paul Rudd and Leslie Mann’s characters, Pete and Debbie (sidenote: no one cool is ever named Debbie). Leslie Mann is of course Judd Apatow’s wife in real life, and his real daughters Maude and Iris play their kids. So basically this is like a non-porn version of one of those cuckolding videos, where Judd Apatow films Paul Rudd banging his wife, only instead of banging they just argue and do crossword puzzles and pop each other’s backne. Yes, that is how I imagine every relationship over 40.

1st image from Judd Apatow’s new movie: Paul Rudd Frosting Party

Written by Vince Mancini / 01.17.12

The first publicity image has been released from Judd Apatow’s This is Forty, a movie about Leslie Mann and Paul Rudd’s characters set a few years after Knocked Up. And yes, Judd Apatow cast his real wife and kids again (Maude and Iris, 14 and 9), with Paul Rudd as his stand in. Which isn’t that weird a fetish when you think about it.

Apatow’s first directing effort since 2009′s “Funny People” — picks up with the family a few years after “Knocked Up.” Pete’s music label is struggling and Debbie’s vanity business, a dress shop staffed by the comely Desi (Megan Fox) and the awkward Jodi (Charlyne Yi), needs to help cover the household budget.

Holy sh*t, this sounds incredible! Wait, what’s ‘comely’ mean?
