John Tucker Must Die Trailer
The popularity divining rod for kids, MySpace, has the trailer for the upcoming teen comedy John Tucker Must Die. The story is about three high school girls out to get revenge on the most popular guy in school for his infidelities, possibly even to the point of murder-- sort of a 9 to 5 for high schoolers. It looks like your standard teen comedy, except I'm a bit confused about how they portray John Tucker as "cool" by showing that he was able to wear a woman's thong to school. If wearing women's underwear were all it took to be cool in high school, I would have been double-cool! (I wore panties and a bra).

An Inconvenient Truth Trailer
What makes the trailer for An Inconvenient Truth so intriguing? Is it the charts and graphs? Could it be the photographs of lakes and mountains? Or is it simply Al Gore's monotone lecturing? It's too close to call. You can judge for yourself at Moviefone, where the trailer is now up. As for me, this is the Powerpoint presentation I'm most looking forward to this year.
New Nacho Libre Trailer
JoBlo got their hands on an exclusive trailer for Nacho Libre, the newest from Napoleon Dynamite director Jared Hess, Jack Black, and School of Rock writer Mike White. There's not much new footage, but something about it seems more "on" this time. Still, something's stopping me from getting too excited about this one. I try to remember, now matter how good it may look, even Hitler probably seemed pretty appealing at first, and look what he became. You wouldn't trust a re-animated Hitler, would you? After that whole Holocaust fiasco? If you're like me, the answer is a resounding, "probably not."
I Am a Sex Addict Trailer
I hadn't heard of I Am a Sex Addict until seeing the trailer, but it looks pretty great. Here's the description:
Autobiographical filmmaker Caveh Zahedi has made a cult career of his unabashed willingness to be vulnerable on camera. I Am a Sex Addict, a comic reconstruction of his ten-year struggle with sex addiction, is one of his most ambitious, hilarious confessions yet.
Hopefully, in addition to providing some laughs, this movie will give others, possibly even some women, the courage to admit they have a sex addiction. Then, those women should send me their addresses, a few Polaroids, and an availability schedule. Or at least send me some pornography. Anyone.
Sharon Stone Directing Basic Instinct 3?
After Basic Instinct 2 opened at 10th, a spot below The Shaggy Dog, I can't imagine anyone would possibly fund another. But my current favorite crazy, Sharon Stone, is sure hoping so. The nutcase has said that there's already a script, and she's set to direct:
There's a script for the next part of the story - but I would like to direct it rather than star in it. It will be filmed in the UK again as the setting is more intense and gritty.
I guess it's like they say, "if you can't convince them to constantly show your open, wating vagina, just do it yourself, so you can show all the sweet old lady hoo-hah you want."
The Da Vinci Code Poster
A new one-sheet for Ron Howard's adaptation of The Da Vinci Code has been released, showing off stars Tom Hanks and Audrey Tautou. I hope you like it, because if you ever somehow become a Terminator, everything will look like this.
