Movie trailers, then and now

[Giovanni Jones]

Just a couple of comparisons to show how the style of movie trailers has changed considerably since I was a pup. I much prefer the modern style (provided that they don't load all of the good lines in the trailer or spill the beans with plot twists, etc.)

Honestly, as a boy I loved watching the 300 Spartans whenever it showed up on late, late night TV. I got the DVD and my son loved it as well at ag 7-10. The trailer ... well the trailer is comically amateurish.

Sounds like they kept the Isaac Hayes theme music, so at least it's not a total loss.

Here's something to start off Monday morning with a laugh.

See SULTRY BEAUTY in the clutches of a HALF-CRAZED MONSTER!

Sadly, no one has done a remake of this movie.

I can't believe I get to post this again, it was posted on the movie thread too. They could have redone this movie. You need a big sport's figure, with a large body, so you can get the two heads together. Then a crusty well know veteran actor.

I nominate Shaquille O'Neal and Clint Eastwood for the remake.

What do you mean "get to"? Be like me and post anything anywhere at anytime. It's very liberating.

It's also confusing, for the rest of us. I think I will not become a snek clone, one snek is enough, probably more than enough actually.

Please let's not over-snek up in here. There is not enough kek for more sneks.

I will donate these necessary essentials, so that we do not overpopulate with sneks.

I don't think it will work on our snek, he seems impervious to everything. The video says it works, by confusing the snake's senses.

We all know our snek is already very confused, so it won't work on him.
