Ian and I saw Prometheus tonight, which was pretty rad. But you probably already knew that, so I'm going to use this platform as an opportunity to warn you about a far deadlier menace.
That's My Son.
I've sat through several Saw trailers. I made it through 28 Weeks Later while eating Red Vines. Hell, I watched my sweet Walton Goggins get his spine ripped out in Predators. But I actually thought I was going to be physically sick during the trailer for this God-forsaken abomination. My gag reflex actually spasmed when Adam Sandler said "WAAZUP?!?" It was just so horrible and grating and annoying that it was more than my strong constitution could handle
Look, I like a good Adam Sandler flick as much as the next moron. The Wedding Singer is great, and Billy Madison made me laugh. But now, seeing the phrase "Happy Madison" makes me feel the exact same way I feel seeing the confederate flags, a swastika or one of those "terrorists hunting permits" on the back of some redneck's Toyota--angry, nauseated and ready to just start kicking and screaming obscenities and throwing punches until I either hit someone or get hauled out by security.
(Eeon has seen me do this to frat guys and knows the kind of berserker madness I'm capable of. It's how we ended up seeing AvP at the dollar theatre. He knew if he didn't take me out, I was going to beat the skanks in the corner triple to death with a tire iron borrowed from the trunk of his Alero)
I could rant about the failed state of comedy or the idiot stoned asswad teenagers who talked and kicked my seat during the entire two hours of the movie, but instead of anger, I offer you a cure. If any of you have been infected by this movie trailer, I URGE you to watch this video of Maru playing on the sofa.
