I’ve got the new trailer for Year One after the jump.  It’s got a solid cast (Cera, Black, David Cross, Paul Rudd) and was co-written by Office writers Lee Eisenberg and Gene Stupnitsky, but it was also directed by Harold Ramis, whose last three movies were the Ice Harvest, Analyze That, and Bedazzled (yes, a Brendan Fraser joint).  The setting should provide lots of material, but let’s hope they avoided the annoying LET’S WRITE 50 GAGS INTO EVERY SCENE! tendency.  That only works in porno.

Here you see the Cash4Gold Super Bowl commercial starring MC Hammer and Ed MCmahon, which I consider the best of the bunch until someone reminds of something better.  Cash4Gold’s clearly come a long way since telling people to pull out grandma’s fillings for money. 

After the jump, I’ve got all the movie ads. A lot of people say Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen was the best, others, G.I. Joe. But those people are idiots, probably the same ones who liked that MacGruber commercial. Year One was easily the best, followed by Land of the Lost. Elsewhere, Go Daddy.com once again made me wish I was stupider. And Chester the Cheetah is clearly Tony the Tiger’s ne’er do well, recovering heroin addict brother in law.

EW this week has a new batch of publicity stills from 2009 movies and I’ve included a few of my favorites below.  Above you can see Wolverine (trailer here) loudly protesting his lack of suds and rubber ducky.  He can be really immature sometimes.  Elsewhere, you can see Jack Black and Michael Cera in The Year One.  They play…

Zed and Oh, hunter-gatherers who are banished from their village and wander through scenes from the Old Testament, encountering the likes of Cain and Abel (David Cross and Paul Rudd) and Abraham (Hank Azaria). Asked if he expects the film’s religious satire to offend, [Caddyshack/Groundhog Day director Harold] Ramis laughs: ”I hope so!”

We’ve also got Tom Hanks in Angels and Demons (trailer) looking like he and Nic Cage share the same forehead surgeon; Meryl Streep playing Julia Child, who apparently was six foot two, in Julia and Julia — what, Sigourney Weaver was busy?  And then there’s the Jonas Brothers in The Jonas Brothers 3D Concert Experience.  I know it’s become almost passé to call the Jonas Brothers queer, but holy hell the Jonas Brothers are queer.  Here’s a tip, boys, if you want to be seen as respected musicians, try not to look so much like a f-ckin Mervyn’s ad.  Secondly, go f-ck yourselves.

I’m pretty sure Judd Apatow knows he can do anything he wants now and just announces crazy shit to f with people.

Christopher Mintz-Plasse [Ed Note: Gayest. Name. Ever.], best known as McLovin in the summer hit Superbad, will reunite with producer Judd Apatow for Year One, a comedy set in biblical times. Year One marks Mintz-Plasse’s second movie role. He would play a platform-shoe-wearing high priest, and [Vinnie] Jones a head palace guard named Sargon. [Hollywood Reporter] 

Jack Black and Michael Cera are in it as well.  No one knows much about the plot, but I’m gonna go out on a limb here and say that it’s gonna involve Seth Rogen playing video games with Jesus and having a hilarious “Know how I know you’re not Christ?” conversation. (‘Cause he’s Jewish, get it?  Shut up.)
