Movie Trailer Tuesday: A Bunch of Trailers

We’ve been a little behind the 8 ball here at Fully Op with life and stuff but we are going to make it up to you starting with today. Not 2, not 3, not 4, not 5 but 6!! No, actually, just 5 trailers! Let’s dive in.

Carrie:

Dre:  At this point, you’re either open to the idea of a Carrie remake or you’re not. If you are, this trailer has to please you on some level.

Movie Trailer Tuesday: 2 Guns, White House Down

Let’s skip the formalities and dive in [Ed. note: we usually do].

2 Guns:

Dre: This looks like the sort of dumb fun Hollywood used to excel in when Simpson and Bruckheimer were at the top of their game.

Movie Trailer Tuesday: World War Z, Epic, Angels’ Share

New trailers, new trailer reviews. That’s right, it’s Tuesday.

World War Z:

J. Goodman: Back in November I said, “What’s my beef?

Movie Trailer Tuesday: Hangover 3, Iron Man 3, After Earth

This was going to be an all trilogy MTT, but then After Earth reared its ugly (2nd version trailer) head and we couldn’t find another trilogy coming out anyway, so we just went with it. Thanks, After Earth.

The Hangover Part 3:

J. Goodman: I really liked the first one, never made it to the 2nd one and now I’m already feeling disappointed in the 3rd one. Why is this a trilogy?

Movie Trailer Tuesday: Stories We Tell, Oblivion, Frances Ha

Let’s get to it.

Stories We Tell:

Dre: I wanted to make sure to include this trailer because I know you would crack wise about Sarah Polley, maybe make a reference to Guinevere being stupid or something (it kind of was).

Movie Trailer Tuesday: The Unbelievers, Upside Down

It’s Tuesday and you now what that means! OK, I have to be upfront. It’s not really Tuesday as I’m writing this. It’s Saturday afternoon at approximately 2:37 EST. But we here at Fully Operational are often so busy we’re trying to stay ahead of the game. A good plan today is better than a perfect plan tomorrow and all that jazz. OK, here’s your movie trailers.

The Unbelievers:

Dre: This is a fairly easy sell to a guy like me. I’m a Dawkins fan and have an interest in evolutionary biology which mixes with my interest in cosmology and, to a slightly lesser degree, astronomy.

Movie Trailer Tuesday: Monsters University, The Internship

We’re still on holiday mode. So let’s watch some movie trailers. That second sentence doesn’t necessarily follow from the first, but let’s pretend that we make sense on this blog. Lie to me, Jerry! [Ed. note: that also makes no sense.]

Monsters University:

J. Goodman: We have a new Monsters University trailer here. The first one was a teaser. It teased us. Now we have the real thing and we should be very excited, right?

Movie Trailer Tuesday: Spiders 3D, Mud

Trailers. We missed you. We called and called. We left you numerous semi-sociopathic voicemails. We apologize. We’re in a better place now. Thanks for not reporting us to the authorities.

Spiders 3D:

J. Goodman: For all the love that is holy. Wow. Impressively awful.

Movie Trailer Tuesday: Fast & Furious 6, 21 & Up

Movie Trailer Tuesday (MTT) hits you where it hurts. Right in your retinas. You can try not to watch, but you’re going to fail. Just let it happen.

Fast & Furious 6:

J. Goodman: Do you believe in ghosts? No, but I believe in neverending movie franchises.

Movie Trailer Tuesday: The East, Red 2

Movie Trailer Tuesday: The East, Red 2

Trailer commentary time! What else can we say? It’s what we do.

The East:

Dre: I just read a couple reviews about this movie today. It just screened in Sundance and the word is pretty strong.

Movie Trailer Tuesday (on Wednesday): Wrong, Dead Man Down

Welcome to our first ever Movie Trailer Tuesday on Wednesday! We’re hoping to make your Wednesday feel as Tuesdayish as possible, with little to no side effects.

Let’s milk as much out of these final ‘Tuesday’ moments as we can. So sit back, relax and enjoy these specially curated trailers.

Wrong:

J. Goodman: You have got to love when you can watch a movie 2 months before it hits theaters. That’s how you sell tickets.

Movie Trailer Tuesday: Side Effects, Turbo, The Place Beyond the Pines

Tuesday. Trailers. It’s happening.

Side Effects:

Dre: I don’t care for this trailer much. It doesn’t engage. It’s too busy throwing eight million angles. It never really settles you in at the start. And Tatum and Rooney don’t seem to mesh well as a couple. But yeah, I’ll see this.

Movie Trailer Tuesday: New Year Edition!

Happy New Years, everyone!

Today we celebrate the new and novel by starting out with a second trailer to a movie that has already been made once before from a book written in 1925. Woohoo! 2013 y’all!

The Great Gatsby:

Dre: I’ve long been sold on this movie. It’s a shame they pushed it to 2013. I heard there were reshoots. It’s been a long production. Have I soured on this project?

Merry Movie Trailer Tuesday Christmas: Phantom, Pain & Gain

Merry Xmas you filthy animals. Remember when Dre was doing a Film Distilled of Inglourious Basterds each day this week? Yeah, me neither. So let’s just watch these two movie trailers and enjoy what little time we have left in the twenty twizzle.

Phantom:

J. Goodman: First of all, this looks like a TV movie version of the short-lived Andre Braugher/Scott Speedman acted Last Resort. Or it’s just a bad copy of Crimson Tide meets The Hunt for Red October. But I love the submarine flicks so I was still interested until the preview went where previews have been meaning to go, but never did out of decorum’s sake.
