After the dust settled and Going Rogue was released, former Alaska governer Sarah Palin is a bonafide literary superstar. Then again, the entire idea of Parasalin’ with her is enticing.
Pencils down, everyone. It’s time to go home. It’s over.
This “teaser” for exit 117 proves that “a melodic group portrait of New Jersey youth and the kaleidoscope of dreams, fears, and laughs that is their last summer together” isn’t cutting the mustard anymore. Thanks to pushing this down the throats of the masses as “indie,” we are left with cookie-cutter plots that hope and prey they can strum a shitty guitar long enough to hit Juno levels.
It’s like someone decided to make an ode to the indie film, but figured at some point it would be a fantastic idea to actually make it.
To be fair, this is really called Amazing Tales: Three Guns and is Yimon Zhang’s remake of the Coen Brothers’ Blood Simple. That’s a mouth full, right?
Both are ideally about a husband who fears his wife is having an affair. But only Zhang’s film makes the claim it is literally half thriller and half comedy.
Check out the Coens’ trailer after the jump
A good documentary can be judged by how much the subject doesn’t want you to see the film. If it is painful, then it could be honest. Of course, it’s no wonder that Adam Bhala Lough’s The Carter, which serves as an in-depth study of Lil’ Wayne, is one of the most hyped documentaries you may not have heard of; and it comes out today on DVD.
You know what the easiest way to get me to watch a video is? Say Aubrey Plaza’s in it.
Then say, “Hey. So is Gemberling.”
I’ll say, “John Gemberling?
And by then I’ll watch it. Congratulations, College Humor. You’ve caught me again.
It seems like the Funny People experiment did nothing for Adam Sandler, except give him the idea that mixing the somewhat “mature” idea of Spanglish and then turning it into one of the People parodies.
Of course, maybe it’s for the best that this is the way we end our Week of Bad Trailers. This is just a teaser and Kevin James proves he can prat-fall after slamming into stationary objects. Maybe we should take solace in the final shot as they’re just bro-ing out and drinking some beer. Yeah, maybe everything’s gonna be okay anyway.
(Probably not.)

Ultra-Realistic Modern Warfare Game Features Awaiting Orders, Repairing Trucks
The Call of Duty madness is happening today. Thousands upon thousands of trillions of people are eschewing important responsibilites and jobs so they can play what may be, the most awesome video game ever.
GameDaily compares it to drinking energy drinks. It has a 96 on Metacritic. It is even being parodied by The Onion, as seen above.
So why am I linking to this? Because I didn’t pre-order it and the guy at my local GameStop wouldn’t let me buy it before midnight. Now I have to wait. And wait. And wait.

On a night far colder than it should’ve been, I stood outside of the UCB Theater in Chelsea after a screening of Mystery Team. Out there I interviewed the guys from Derrick Comedy prior to their being picked up for a city-by-city release in what would later become “The Paranormal Activity way.”
