Oh. My. God! I had no idea Labute was doing that film. Bizarre.

I really don't get this remake. The original just came out, and I know it's British but it's not that foreign. I found it to be a fun farce. But despite it looking like this one follows the same motions as the original (even casting the same actor as the father's lover) it looks incredibly awful. Just comparing the sequences where they realize they have the wrong body shows how bad this is going to be (and look! It's the body of an asian! Oh how funny!) Ugh!

You want speechless, you need to see the sketch from Chris Morris' Jam where the guy accidentally kills his friend and calls a 'clean-up expert' who turns out to be a six-year-old girl. Which is the first thing I thought of when I saw this. No luck tracking it down on youtube, but if anybody can oblige, post a link. One of the darkest and funniest things I've ever seen on television.

EDIT: The posts I was replying too have been spun off into their own thread while I was off getting drinks at the bar, leaving this one desperate and dateless as a non sequitur wallflower. As you were.

Not as disturbing as this.

Perhaps the line in the trailer was over-dubbed as in Jam, though it seems unlikely. The episode with the cleaner that zedz mentions is here and the sketch in question starts at 8 mins 30 seconds.

It seems as if we are getting ever closer to the Time Toilet pitch that was in Timecode.

Alex Cox's Repo Chick may win the award for worst film ever judging by this atrocious trailer.

That's not actually a trailer for a real movie? Right? RIGHT?

I think it looks cool. Like Gregg Araki by way of Derek Jarman's back projected visuals and Greenaway's elaborate tableau stagings.

Wow. I'm all for doing things on a small budget, but christ, doing a whole film on greenscreen with zero money for post-production is not one of them.

I found this surreal/depressing behind the scenes clip on the team(!) of people working on the film's effects. I'm speechless. I mean... if they could pack in 1/10 of the charm of the hard work that clearly went into all the miniature backgrounds into the film itself, I'm sure it'd be something worthwhile, but what's the point if you're just going to gaussian blur everything and badly composite in actors on top of it?

When You're Strange, Tom DiCillo's upcoming documentary on The Doors. I heard about this project about four years ago, glad to see it finally getting released.

Has anybody else seen the horrible trailer floating around for Red Band's SHOWGIRLS 2: The Return? Probably the worst "trailer" I've ever seen. The Verhoeven original is a guilty pleasure...but this looks awful.

Yup. Pray for a theatrical release. Definitely the worst trailer I´ve seen since the trailer for the "dancer vs Satan" film starring the Anthony LaPaglia lookalike.

My GOD! I thought you'd linked to an amateur porno version instead, but this is the real thing!
Never seen such a bad trailer, there's no a single aspect of the film which looks even average quality.

Can anyone work out what the $25 million went on?

Cocaine?

You're thinking of Snowgirls

That DV slow shutter speed approximation of Christopher Doyle's Step Printing technique was pretty interesting....in 1999!

Is this the German tax code at work again? The same loophole that gave us Uwe Boll's oeuvre?

If you really want to lose some brain cells, go check out the comments over on Verhoeven's original. Someone, probably the director of this 'sequel,' is posting as 'voyeur69' to promote this trainwreck (and just generally being awful/stupid).

From the "visionary" director of Kinda-Watchmen comes, uh, a cgi-animated epic about owls.

It's clearly a blockbuster tribute to Twin Peaks.

Can't wait:
