Looks pretty funny…

Dudes, I swear, I like Kevin Smith. I think Clerks is a riot and when SModcast came out, I was very impressed with how KS just seemed to instantly master the podcast format. I enjoy a lot of the guy’s output.

So, with that disclaimer out of the way, I have to say that this new trailer for his upcoming foray into horror looks just terrible. Seems like it’s going to be another grimy survivalist/torture flick with some psycho religious weirdos as the antagonists. I was talking about it in our IRC channel and I think KS is a phenomenal conversationalist but his writing sucks when he tries to have characters actually go do stuff. That’s why Clerks “works,” it’s just a bunch of conversations. His other movies are fun/funny when it’s just the dialogue, but when he gets into trying to convey some point or message via the characters’ actions… it’s a fail.

I dunno. This isn’t like me, I don’t typically grumble about stuff like this. Live and let live, y’know? I guess I just wanted to get in early and stake my claim on Red State sucking. Maybe that’s not so bold a position. What do you guys think? Are you KS fans, do you think KS can do horror?

A Serbian Film (see Splattercast #187 and#188) is to be released in UK cinemas in December, and then DVD in January. Of course, the BBFC has cut it by 4 minutes 12 seconds.

Cuts required to remove portrayals of children in a sexualised or abusive context and images of sexual and sexualised violence which have a tendency to eroticise or endorse the behaviour (from BBFC web site)

Personally, I’ll probably go and see it. Been meaning to revisit it, and I’d like to see the reactions of  unsuspecting casual horror fans. Plus I’m curious to see what they keep in.

Is this what the horror genre has been reduced to? What’s next, a movie about unfriending someone on Facebook?

Remember a while back, they made an X-Files p0rn parody? Apparently it did okay for them because there’s a sequel on the way. I confess, I did take a look at the first one. It was super gross. The first scene had some 50+ year old man, playing the Skinner character, wagging around a bizarre potato-dick. Maybe part 2 will be better.

I’m not even going to play this game, but I understand that Starcraft 2‘s release today is a big deal for lots of folks. We were talking about the trailer in the chat the other day, and how it looks way more interesting and exciting than some movies’ trailers (Avatar, cough cough).
