May 8 2009 'Hangover' Trailer with Dirty Words

Enjoy the new, oddly dark trailer for The Hangover--rated R for two "fucks" and a hand gesture evocative of a masturbation finish. The ridiculous Mike Tyson re-enacting a Cadbury viral video soundtrack should not be enough to distract you from how good the last line is:

Apr 24 2009 'Hangover' Poster Has Done Years Worth of Meth

I admire that, while they could have made Bradley Cooper the handsome leading man counterpoint to Ed Helms and Zach Galifianakis (to bring in those ladies), they decided, no, let's make all three of them look like they live under an overpass. With a baby. Kudos. (Also, for any studio executives reading this, "three men living under an overpass with a baby" is my pitch for another movie.)

Apr 2 2009 You'll Want to Feel This 'The Hangover'! Because It's a Movie with That Title, Not Actual Post-Drunken Sickness!

There's a reason Vince Vaughn enthusiastically shouts, "VEGAS BABY, VEGAS !!" on that Swingers poster I had in college: because crazy things are always happening there in movies. If it isn't Ashton Kutcher and Cameron Diaz marrying, it's a giant toddler that Rick Moranis accidentally enlarged (legitimately crazy). What a town, right? And now we can add Bradley Cooper, Ed Helms, and Zach Galifianakis losing a groom and a tooth (while gaining a standard-size baby) to that list of fictional craziness happening in Vegas with this trailer for The Hangover. Maybe not as wild as a Flintstones in Viva Rock Vegas (ostensibly a prehistoric version of Las Vegas), but it looks pretty good.

Dec 15 2008 'The Hangover' Photos Will Not Make Bright Light Hurt Your Brain

Thanks to Kevin for pointing out Ropes of Silicon has a couple shots from The Hangover, the Todd Phillips comedy in which "Zach Galifianakis, Bradley Cooper and Ed Helms play best buddies at a wild Las Vegas bachelor party who lose the groom just hours before his wedding." The combination of casual baby-wearing, defeated stare, and punched-in-the-mouth is enough to make me think this might be pretty good. Sometimes that's all it takes.
