Just in time for the apocalypse! Seth Rogen's newly retitled THIS IS THE END gets a redband trailer!
Ahoy, squirts! Quint here. He we are, on the eve of the end of all things and Seth Rogen had to go and release the very first trailer for his end of the world comedy formerly known as The End of the World and now called This Is The End.
I guess The End of the World sounded too close to Edgar Wright's The World's End and Rogen and company did the honorable thing and deferred. Anyway, now we have a movie called This Is The End and that newly retitled film has a spiffy redband trailer filled with dick-sucking jokes, Craig Robertson drinking precious bodily fluids and the realization for many that all the comedy superstars in the film are in fact playing themselves.
Count me in, should I wake up tomorrow that is.
Thoughts?

Rogen, McBride & Hill's potty mouth humor wore out its welcome years ago. Aren't they getting a bit old for it too? Hill's huge again - he gained it all back!

The only good moment in that trailer was Seth getting slagged for Green Hornet
by tangcameo
If they spent the whole movie pointing out to each other their bad movies, I'd pay. I'd also hire that blonde in Pitch Perfect just to point out that she's got a job because she's a female blonde clean-shaven version of Jonah Hill.

Minus the whole apocalyptic plotline, this looks like a rip-off of "Klovn" (which itself is a rip-off of "Curb Your Enthusiasm").
by rk349097
The whole "celebrities playing versions of themselves" thing is played-out and stale at this point. It could be funny, though.

They're completing ripping off Zombieland wherein Bill Murray brilliantly played himself and then got killed off
by Joey Stars
They took that awesome idea and seem to have extrapolated it into a whole movie and will probably use their connections to see what other famous people they can kill off in their movie. Sorry, not so original guys.

The Following Preview Has Been Approved For MATURE Audiences Only
by Skraggo
That's the funniest bit in the whole trailer. Oh, sweet irony. That said, I chuckled at McBride a couple times.
-
Seriously, now. Who over the age of maybe 15 find constant swearing funny? It's not. It's stupid, it's juvenile, it's immature. I like a raunchy comedy as much as anyone else, but a bunch of jerkoffs standing around telling unfunny-but-they're-supposed-to-be-funny-because-SWEAR-WORDS almost makes me wish for the world TO actually end.

This movie doesn't look like a real movie. I think this is just some fake trailer made to ease the minds of those watching from underground shelters.

Meh...so not impressed with this generation of comedian actors and here's why...
by Cedric Ford
After watching the making of and behind the scenes with some of the comedian actors of the last decade and learning of the dozens and dozens of takes they do for one little joke makes it feel that much forced. The Eddie Murphy's and Bill Murray's of the day didn't need to do take after take after take. Either it was already in the script or it was in the script but needed one or two takes of improv. Of course one needs time to flesh out a scene and it takes some time but some of these guys get way too much credit for being a natural comedian when in actuality they are not.
-
I think Louis C.K. is a good example of someone who has largely managed to avoid the pitfalls you're talking about; Lucky Louie was a bit stilted at times, but Louie has a natural feel about it- not so much improv, but it doesn't have that take after take vibe. And his standup, of course, is great- in my opinion.
-
That last bit with Robinson, laughed my ass off!!!
-
Funny as hell!!!

Don't know whythis popped into my head
by dancetothebeatofthelivingdead
But I watched Gross ointe Blanke again the other day. It was the first time I'd seen it in years, probably almost ten years and I couldn't believe how well it has aged and just how goddamned funny it was. Why was it funny? Because it didn't pander. It didn't rely on dick jokes or homophobia. It was intelligent humor that was accesible to the cheap seats but never talked down to them. It didn't try to be funny, which made it even funnier. Then I watched this trailer. I like a lot of those actors. I realy like a handful of them A couple of them are really, really, really funy when given the right material. However, it seems when they are given carte blanche and told to just go be funny, they obviously can't do it.

When i pop in one of my Monty Python dvds that is when i start to wonder wtf happened to comedy today.
by alex
Le sad.
-
I have not been this excited about a comedy in the last 5 years. This looks great.
-
When you do this type of humor over and over, people get sick of you. With comedy, you need to evolve. Just doijg dick and pot jokes paints you in a corner and people get sick of you. Guilt Trip is going to bomb hard. Rogan needs a hit. He's on a downward spiral. I think a lot of people won't see this because they are playing themselves. It's just like movies about making movies never do well.
-
I love and respect comedy, but comedy today is lazy. Now I'm not talking about stand up. This is strictly tv and film. I'm not saying there aren't funny actors working today, there are. But sadly because of improv and stars having all the power, they are hurting projects. To me Will Ferrell is the reason for all this. I actually think Will is funny. But his movies, for the most part suck. Anchorman, funny, but they basically made the movie up as the went. Hell, there is a second movie that is made up of all the extra takes the did. Anchorman, with a real script and better director seriously could've been one of the funniest movies ever made. I'm not saying improv is bad. But too much hurts a movie. Someone could write the funniest script ever written, but people would fuck it up by improvising it all. Stand ups work out their sets on the road and see what works. Sure there are comics who can go on stage and just riff it all, but the greats work it all out. Too many actors today think that improv is just saying some random line. It's stupid and lazy. Sure, it works on something like 30 Rock, but in most cases, it doesn't work. I don't know who was the one to think that Olivia Munn is a great comedic actress. She is the most unfunny actress working today. I really hope they move away from heavily improved comedy. Now every hack director thinks they can make a comedy. You just hire the actors and they'll make up most of it, so director's don't need to know about comedy and that's why comedy is suffering now.

Wait, this is a real movie? I thought it was a skit from "Funny or Die."
by SunTzu77
If that's the case - weak.
-
Could not disagree more. We may have differing opinions on what's funny, that may be the root of the problem. But these directors aren't just sitting back and letting the actors write the movie for them. They need to know what's funny. If it's not funny to them, it doesn't go in the movie or even on the DVD. The improv is structured, it's not just people cutting loose with random shit. Do you have any idea the kind of training it requires to get good at improv? Will Ferrell doesn't just open his mouth and go stream-of-consciousness, there are rules involved. Rules that 90% of these guys spend YEARS learning to work within. Nowadays, most stand-ups also undergo improv training because that's the standard. If you're good at one, people expect you to be good at the other. Robinson, Rogen, Hill, McBride are all veterans of improv training. Robinson especially, I'm pretty sure he still drops in at Upright Citizens Brigade in LA. And Franco? Improv may not be his area of expertise, but the guy trained as an actor at Playhouse West, and I know for a fact that being comfortable with improvisation is just part of the process they teach there. Just because it looks easy, doesn't mean it is.

While I'll probably avoid the film, since I dislike half the cast, I did find Craig Robinson's bit quite funny.

He's got a great, open face and comedy instincts. (I don't understand, though, what people see in Franco, Rogen, McBride, or Hill.)

You know what would be ball-achingly funny? Getting a bunch of quasi-funny dudes together and then rolling film for 8 hours straight in the hopes that some improvised dick jokes will be funny enough to edit together for a trailer. Mission unaccomplished.

The word "FUNNY" is only used when people think things are NOT Funny nowadays...
by DukieMichaelNamondRandy
....or if people are defending something they think is funny to people who think it's unfunny. I miss being able to use the word "funny" purely. then again, it's relegated to a word 5 year olds use. now things have to be "awesome" or "dumb" or "hilarious" to get any love. Anyways. I look forward to this funny movie.
-
Danny McBride's addition to anything basically guarantees hilarity. Mother nature just pissed her pantsuit!
-
is such a subjective thing. What some people find hilarious, others do not. That's why there are so many different stand-up comics. To each his own.

If there were justice in the world, Green Hornet would have shitcanned Rogen's career
by Crimson Dynamo
Let me guess, his new movie will end with some kind of man-love scene, with one dude carrying another dude in his arms

The hero of a generation.

Ditch the music, maybe it's just for the trailer but lately that genre of tunes has been getting crickets chirping responses from audiences over the age of 20, and put it out in Spring. Summer's way too crowded already. And...hoping it isn't as gross as the trailer indicates. Hopefully not. Rogen's good and he knows how far he can go, and that's one helluva cast.
-
to turn off audiences quicker than Sacha Baron Cohen in a g-string. I just cannot imagine anyone not stoned wanting to see this movie.

The ripping of Rogen is great because it's true, ditto that for Hill but he should have nailed him

Meta is the beginning of 'Funny People' being TRUE for these people
by Darth Macchio
I'm sure someone like Sandler can see that. I've seen far too much cleverness in his older stuff think he'd miss that he meta-parodied not only his own career but the career of many others with the intro to Funny People (just like the intro to Tropic Thunder). i guess there's a fine line between finding their material laughable and finding the career direction laughable. what i don't get is, if you've already made a mint, and most of these guys have, why bother diluting whatever good work you did in the past with shit, phoned in hack-work your doing now? sandler is not untalented musically. he could easily go a less dorky/corny and more original route not unlike weird al yankovic. but instead he does jack n jill. and soon enough, probably a movie where they digitally replace his head on the body of a pitbull in some meth-inspired combo riff on 'look whos talking', 'face-off', and 'the shaggy dog'.

by Dapper Swindler

Improv should be reserved for Wayne Brady and Greg Proops and Drew Carey on a LIVE TV show. Improv in movies is just lazy and sticks out like a sore thumb, or in the case of a Judd Apatow movie just falls flat for two hours. I never want to see Paul Rudd playing cutesy without a script again.
-
Dec. 21, 2012, 6:15 p.m. CST
Nah I like fat Jonah Hill. Not crazy about his improv though
by Autodidact
He's a great actor though. You can see the deep intelligence in his eyes. All those Apatow crew are smart and I love the movies when they're not doing the improv bullshit.

i know franco loves his friends and loves doing movies that are against character
by john
but he really needs to stop working with them as for improv...some of the best scenes in movies have been improvised....but by brilliant actors hill aint one of them and i predict that within 10 years, that fat fuck joins former fat fuck john candy in heaven
-
He plays a better Franco on there!
-
Franco cuts his arm off at some point that Jay guy gets with a hot blonde chick Pot is smoked Danny Mcbribe gets all the good lines. If thing is improv Kenny fucking powers will own these kids For those that didn't like danny mcbribe it must be a awful . For the guy who hated caddyshack its just sad.
-
Better writing and less improv would've made it a great movie. I mean the whole scene with the puppet was stupid and totally improvised. But there were glimpses of the movie it could've been. And there are lots of actors who have trained in improv who aren't funny. Hell, look at SNL. It sucks ass and most of those guys are trained.
