Whew! Finally, the summer is almost over, which means we don't have to look at any more pictures of Transformers 2 star Megan Fox and can move on to... What? She has another movie coming out? In which she stars as an evil high school student who likes having sex wiht boys but is actually a demon? Great. Now we can look forward to another month of photographs of her wearing red-carpet fashions and biting her tongue to make herself look either more or less attractive (we're not exactly sure which she's going for with that). Plus, more Diablo Cody talk-show appearances, to boot. Vloggers Omar and Pablo G. dissect the Jennifer's Body redband trailer -- and the Fox phenomenon herself -- in the latest installment of "Trailers Without Pity." Watch it below, or click here!
Trailers Without Pity: Gamer
In a world where prisons are overcrowded, and reality shows have gone too far, and men are made slaves for our amusement, and Michael C. Hall is extremely creepy... there are these two guys named Omar and Pablo who have a show where they talk about movie trailers. That show is called "Trailers Without Pity," and this week they're talking about the trailer for Gamer, starring Gerard Butler, Kyra Sedgwick and Michael C. Hall. In it, a kid is able to remote-control convict Butler through a kill-or-be-killed real-life video game, until Butler decides that he wants out to see his family. See what Omar and Pablo think of all this below, or click here!
Looking for a little sci-fi in your political commentary? No? How about political commentary in your sci-fi? Yes? Well, then, you should see District 9, about a slum in South Africa populated entirely by aliens from the giant spaceship hovering overhead. Maybe. We dunno, we've only seen the trailer. So have Omar G. and Pablo G., and they have a lot to say about it in the latest episode of "Trailers Without Pity." The brothers can't believe they got suckered in by the pseudo-YouTube video moviemaking style, which got them all riled up over the poor little oppressed, marooned, marginalized aliens. Check out the episode below, or click here!
Chris Columbus has given us a mixed bag. On the one hand, he did the first two Home Alone movies and the first two Harry Potters, and they were all pretty good. On the other hand, he also did Mrs. Doubtfire and Bicentennial Man. Shudder. Well, now he's channeling John Hughes for a teenage romp through the night after graduation, after a nerd declares his love for a hot chick, and the hot chick turns out to actually be kinda cool about it. Pablo and Omar Gallaga are skeptical of the whole affair, as evidenced by the latest installment of their vlog, "Trailers Without Pity." See what they have to say about the ILYBC trailer and Hayden Panettiere's cleavage below, or click here!
What do you think of Beth Cooper? Yeah, that's what we thought.
In the grand tradition of Jackass, from the guy who brought you Borat, it's Bruno! ...You know, if you like that sort of thing. "That sort of thing" being Sacha Baron Cohen pushing the buttons of real-life Americans, and discovering that we don't like having our buttons pushed. I, for one, can take it or leave it, but Omar and Pablo take it and loooove it! To celebrate the release of the Bruno trailer, the Gallaga brothers put on their finest mesh shirts to break down the comedy (and the words that take up valuable comedy space) for us. Check it out below, or watch it here!
Grrr. My editor blood boils every time I type the misspelled title of Inglourious Basterds, but then I remind myself that it's all for art, or whatever passes for it in Quentin Tarantino's pop-culture-soaked brain. While we're mostly looking forward to this sure-to-be gory war film, we're wary of the promised horror of Eli Roth scalping Nazis, and we taste bile every time we see Brad Pitt's neck. Omar and Pablo Gallaga are similarly unnerved, and have broken down the film's trailer for easy digesting and regurgitating. Check out the newest episode of "Trailers Without Pity" below!
We've sent the studio angry letters, but this movie is still coming out. Seriously, Zach Galifianakis and Will Arnett? Seriously? Times are so tight that you have to take jobs in a movie about government-trained, black-ops guinea pigs? We don't care if those guinea piga are voiced by some of the biggest TV and movie stars working today. They aren't showing their faces! You, on the other hand, are. Also not showing their faces? The animated hosts of "Trailers Without Pity," Omar and Pablo Gallaga, who break down the G-Force trailer for people who may not be able to believe what they're seeing. That should include most of you. Check it out in a handy embedded version below, or simply click here.
Ohmygodohmygodohmygod. If someone had told me that a movie would come along and combine my love of children's books, Spike Jonze and giant monsters, I would have punched them in the face. So when I first saw the trailer for Jonze's new film Where the Wild Things Are, which I've been seeing teaser images of for nearly a year, I practically wept. The Super Gallaga Brothers aren't crying exactly, but Omar and Pablo were moved enough by the trailer to turn it into one of their patented "Trailers Without Pity" videos, breaking it down for the audience and explaining why they think it has the potential to be genius or a Cat in the Hat-level disaster. Check it out after the jump.
Trailers Without Pity: Public Enemies
It's a gangster movie, see? Starring Johnny Depp and Christian Bale, see? Directed by Michael Mann, see? You don't see? Well, see what multi-tasking Smallville recapper Omar Gallaga and his brother Pablo think about the new trailer for Public Enemies ("Sexy!" "Oscar-worthy!" "Mustache-rific!") in the latest installment of "Trailers Without Pity," which we have embedded for your viewing convenience after the jump. It's got Marion Cotillard in it! And tommy guns!
Man, that Judd Apatow has a penchant for on-the-nose titles, doesn't he? The 40-Year-Old Virgin, Knocked Up and now Funny People. If you need to know what's going on in the movie, it's right there in the title! Not satisfied with a two-word description, the Bros. Gallaga have taken a movie buff's eye for detail to the trailer for the next Apatow flick and broken it down for the layman, pointing out why it looks funny, why it doesn't look funny and why this whole exercise smacks of desperation. Check out the new installment of "Trailers Without Pity" below, then check out other upcoming movie trailers they've dissected -- including Star Trek, Knowing and G.I. Joe -- in our video library!
