This HOT TUB TIME MACHINE Red Band Trailer Evokes TERMINATOR, And More!!

Published at:  Jul 24, 2009 2:57:09 PM CDT


Merrick here...



After AVATAR and before TRON LEGACY, we'll get John Cusack, Crispin Glover and Chevy Chase In HOT TUB TIME MACHINE! This is from director Steve Pink, who scripted HIGH FIDELITY and GROSSE POINT BLANK; he was also a producer on ENTOURAGE.

Until Keanu & Alex get their middle-aged BILL & TED movie going (seriously and literally), perhaps this will suffice...


NOTE: NOT SUITABLE FOR WORK

    Chevy Chase

    by series7

    Has been in dire need of money lately. I think it started with the under rated Karate Dog, then Chuck and now this and that NBC show that's already been cancelled before the 4th episode airs.

    Not an impressive trailer

    by yackbacker

    It seems too... cute. And two f-bombs in one sentence, Mr. Cusack? Old guy tries too hard to fit in, methinks. But let's see some more before passing judgment.

    Goes to show that ON PAPER shit kicks ass. Then ON FILM shit sucks ass. Not a single word of that dialogue was funny. And I like all the players. Cusack & Craig Robinson? You could knock me over with a feather. I wasn't even hit with a feather. Not funny. Looks half baked.

    If someone said to me "next February" I would think they meant February 2011, as it is the next February after the imminent one; not this one, but the next one.

    I believe in this movie. I believe that if these guys knew the angles and polarities they could go back in time in a hot tub.
    However if this is the funniest footage they've cut for the trailer then this some big time booooooolshit.

    by rogue trooper

    Why is this a red band trailer and why is it not suitable for work? Is it because someone says fuck? That's weird. Anyhoo, I like the conceit that one of the characters thinks it's a rubbish idea too. Also I'm a big Cusack fan (John and Joan).

    He said that by the time they actually got it made they'd both be too old. I think it's just a bad idea, but I wouldn't be against them making another film together in the spirit of Bill & Ted.

    How you can say this sucked when all you saw was 2 minutes of the final 130 (estimate) minute film? The jokes werent as bad as year one, but before that film came out, I was hard pressed to find a talkbacker without Harold Ramis' cock fit snugly in their esophagus.

    The title of this film made me want to check it out and the cast and creator sound interesting, but I am really interested in a new Bill & Ted, especially if Alex Winter is involved in the writing. I am still waiting for my Idiot Box DVD collection MTV.

    ScriptCunt...

    by abysstare

    Look, I very rarely post, but the English on this site is SO bad that at a certain point, you just feel compelled to say something. It is beyond bad, and honestly, it makes the contributors look incredibly amateurish and uneducated (which I doubt it their intention). I'm not the first person to comment on this sort of thing, and when it reaches a certain level, I don't think it's an issue of people being "grammatical fascists" so much as people expecting a certain basic level of literacy from the site and its contributors. Also, I am well aware of the definitions of both evoke and invoke. The clip doesn't "evoke" the Terminator seeing as how it outright DISCUSSES the Terminator. But by bringing up the Terminator in and of itself, by specifically referring to the film, it does indeed "invoke" the film. If it was a scene that REMINDED you of the terminator, that would be evocative.

    Oh, and thank you for being a cunt.
