Sep 12 2008'Changeling' Trailer Does Not Contain Awesome CGI Morphing
When the LAPD returns Angelina Jolie-character's lost son to her, she thinks it's a dream come true. That is, until she realizes, "Wait a minute, LAPD, this isn't my kid! This is a trained dolphin you've put in a special land suit and boy costume!" But, of course, the corrupt LAPD is like, "No, that is definitely your son, and even if it were a dolphin in a special land suit, dolphins are very intelligent creatures, and you should be marveling that we've found a way to make it walk on land as if it's a boy." This argument goes back and forth for the length of a movie, and that's the movie, Changeling.
Sounds good, right? Except that they took out the dolphin part. It's just a lady whining about having the wrong human son. Isn't that a let down? Even though Clint Eastwood directed this, so it will probably be decent and up for some awards, it's always going to have that "why isn't there a dolphin in a land suit?" cloud looming over its accolades. Here's the trailer:
This might give Ransom a run for its money for the title of "best movie where someone shouts GIVE ME BACK MY SON!!!"

I have to wonder how the kid who's being used as AnJolie's faux son feels.
Kid: "Mommy I love y--"
Angelina Jolie's Lips: "YOU'RE NOT MY SON GET THE FUCK AWAY FROM ME"
Kid: ;_;
Also I can't help but wonder how many third world mothers are screaming GIMME BACK MY SON outside the Pitt household right now.

Best way to find a missing son, hire a former spy who's been burned and dumped im Miami, Michael Weston.

I thought this movie was about Angelina taking a dump just by seeing the picture

I was working on this movie. Clint Eastwood one day came to see me about removing all dolphin parts. He apparently did some research and the dolphin:human ratio amongst movie-award judges was not as high as he anticipated.
I, of course, refused and was fired on the spot. Luckily, I buried an original copy, which my children's children will dig back up in 100 years to save mankind.

I was seriously surprised when I saw it was Angelina Jolie doing this. I'm so used to her being sex symbols in movies.

@5 Hahaha, that's classic.
And this will NEVER beat Ransom, unless it has an even cooler merry-go-round-in-slow-motion-scene.

They should make the changeling a halfling an let carnage ensue. Who needs the Hobbit its all about up to date sequels.
