Below you can watch the red-band trailer for Zombieland — from director Ruben Fleischer starring Woody Harrelson and Jesse Eisenberg — a film I just can’t bring myself to care about. I mean, sure, it looks pretty, as you can see from the screencap above, it’s just that once you strip away the bigger budget, isn’t it just Shaun of the Dead starring two guys with less comedic chops? Now, I know what you’re thinking - “But dood, it’s a zombie stripper, ZOMGLOL!” True. But even that kind of reminds me of something else. Namely, Zombie Strippers. Bottom line, it doesn’t look horrible, it just looks like something I’ve seen before. Kinda like your tits, mom, now leave me alone I’m trying to eat breakfast.
The red-band trailer for Judd Apatow’s Funny People just hit the web and judge me all you want, but this looks awesome. Knocked Up was awesome too and so are dick jokes and drinking beer and quoting Anchorman so screw you, hippies. The trailer premiered over on MySpace, and just in case you forgot MySpace was a sponsor, there’s also scene in which Adam Sandler’s character does stand up in front of a giant stage backdrop that says MySpace. I heard there’s even a special edition 3-D version of the trailer that you have to watch with glasses that say “MySpace” on the inside. Too bad it takes forever to load because they let random chicks change the background song to suit their mood. That might have been a bad idea.

(careful, trailer is NSFW for brief nudity)
Deadgirl is a heartwarming coming-of-age film about the trials and tribulations* of high school, friendship, the girl of your dreams, and the zombie f-cktoy you keep in an abandoned mental hospital. (It’s basically like Weird Science if Kelly LeBrock had been a corpse). The trailer has some brief nudity, but it’s on a dead girl, so I don’t know if that counts as NSFW. I guess it probably does. But what would a movie about zombie f*cktoys be without nudity? A zombie f*cktoy movie without nudity is like pancakes without maple syrup, or a childhood without birthday parties. Anyway, before I get caught up smelling my own farts, Deadgirl opens in limited release July 24 and was made by some people you’ve never heard of but you can read all about here.
*sidenote: isn’t a “trial” and a “tribulation” the same damn thing? who comes up with this crap? is it just because they both start with “T”? people are stupid.
The Bruno red-band trailer is here and you can watch it after the jump, provided you’re older than 18 or smart enough to enter the birthdate of someone older than 18 (this system is brilliant, no?). I was a lot more excited for this when it didn’t use a quote from AICN as the FIRST quote in the trailer. I mean, they loved the last Indiana Jones movie, so they must be credible, right? Anyway, you could go on and on about Bruno being Sacha Baron Cohen’s weakest character and you’d be right, but good God, you can’t deny the man has enormous balls. The last two groups of people I’d ever play pranks on are insane rednecks with guns and rooms full of black women. I’ll stick to making the kitty dizzy on the swivel chair, thank you very much.
After the jump, I’ve got the red-band trailer for Observe and Report, a mall-cop comedy from Foot Fist Way director Jody Hill starring Seth Rogen and Anna Faris. It’s a real shame that Paul Blart came out earlier and stole their thunder, but not surprising considering it looks like in this one they at least bothered to write a script instead of just filming Kevin James’s pants falling down for two hours.
