Yes, I totally just jacked the title from Animaniacs. Let the nostalgia slowly consume you.
So I went to the movies the other night to see Sherlock Holmes, because I think Robert Downey Jr. is a pretty cool guy. The movie was alright, but that isn't what this post is about. The best part about going to see a movie in the theater is to see the previews at the beginning of the movie.
There was one preview, however, that took me on an emotional roller coaster, starting with great anticipation, shortly followed by white-hot blood-boiling rage. First I'll post the movie trailer for you, then I made you a picture of my exact reaction to the trailer.

It's time for another Good Idea, Bad Idea.
Good Idea: Advertising a movie by referencing past movies
Bad Idea: Advertising a movie by referencing past movies, but allowing Tracy Morgan to be in the new movie
I had such great expectations based on them mentioning Dirty Harry and The Departed alone, because those are two movies that I carry around on my iPod touch (along w/ Pulp Fiction) and watch at least once a month. They're kind of a big deal to me. They're fucking works of fucking art. Then as soon as I saw Tracy Morgan's face I said "FUCK" right there in the theater. I don't know what the fuck Bruce Willis was thinking. I didn't really know what to think either. At first I thought it was going to be some sort of retarded version of Lethal Weapon, and then I thought it was going to be a prequel/sequel to Rush Hour. For some reason every time I see Bruce Willis I want to say/type Michael Chikilis, but then I realized, Michael Chiklis wouldn't stand for this shit. Then I remembered, that he was The Thing in the Fantastic Four movie, and that they actually made a 2nd one because people saw it just to see Jessica Alba. This is why we can't have nice things.
Based on this experience, I may never trust or enjoy movie trailers ever again.
I won't lie though, I actually did laugh at the knock-knock joke part at the end.
BAD END
