Jun 2 2008 New 'Incredible Hulk' Trailer Both Best and Most Ridiculous
According to AICN, there's currently a new Incredible Hulk trailer being handed out as a promotion at Best Buy. But don't worry, you don't need to leave the house to obtain it--it's on YouTube! This trailer really makes up for the lack of any painfully-long, nearly-laughable, narrated exposition in the previous trailers.
Also: Variety reports Lou Ferigno will be providing the voice of Hulk's primitive cries of "Hulk smash!", which makes sense, since he was the makeup-slathered body of the completely mute Hulk of the '70s show. Or maybe that makes no sense at all.

May 14 2008 New 'Incredible Hulk' Trailer Emerges from Earth's Crust
When the new Hulk movie was announced, it was emphasized that this was a reboot of the franchise. Forget the Ang Lee Hulk; this is all new, by someone less respected than Ang Lee. So why is this new trailer stressing that this is the return of the "most powerful superhero on Earth," as if it's a sequel? And why is it so heavily-implied that Hulk is born of the Earth's crust? Is there a new, stupider origin story I don't know about? If I hadn't already bought the green body paint, I've be strongly reconsidering camping outside a theater in-costume for this.

Apr 30 2008 'Incredible Hulk' Trailer is Incredibly Dull--Except for the Part with the Power Suit
After watching this new trailer to the Edward Norton-starring remake of The Incredible Hulk, I can safely say it's not worth talking about. There's no reason to continue discussing it. It's not good; it's not bad; it's just nothing. It's everything you'd expect it to be and slightly less. So instead of wasting my time attempting to describe it to you, I've taken IMDB's summary for a far superior Hulk movie, Suburban Commando, and adapted it to fit this mundane trailer. It works well enough.
[Edward Norton] is an interstellar hero, righting wrongs, etc. His [skin] is [green] after a [gamma irradiation] with a [government] nasty and he must hide out on [Brazil?] until [he] can [cure that]. He leaves his [Liv Tyler] at home, but still finds himself unable to [stop turning into the Hulk and whatnot] and so mixes it up with bad [Gen. William Hurt], offensive paperboys, [another giant green asshole] and the like. Then the family he's staying with finds his power suit and the father tries it on.
See it in HD here, or slightly more conveniently below the cut. (Thanks to Kyle and Joe.)
Apr 30 2008 New 'Incredible Hulk' Images Alleviate No Concerns
These new images from Incredible Hulk have done nothing to ease my concerns that it will be terrible. They have, however, helped me realize that Gary Busey is a far more accurate abomination than the actual Abomination:
Apr 21 2008 Image: Hulk Delivers Scrap Metal to Tim Roth
Nothing is more awkward than when a giant, green, shirtless man wrecks your expensive military equipment and you have to stand there and sort out all the insurance details with him.

Mar 13 2008 'Incredible Hulk' Trailer
Judging by its trailer, The Incredible Hulk may not go down as the franchise watershed moment that Batman Begins was--in fact, I'm pretty positive it won't. But at least it's got a couple giant green freaks fighting each other in the streets of Manhattan, and that's something. Hopefully it won't go the Ang Lee route and include comic panel transitions, lest we momentarily forget we're watching a comic book turned into a movie. If you didn't catch it on every single Viacom station last night, watch the new trailer, below the cut.
Jan 21 2008 R-Rated 'Funny Games' Trailer Adds Blood, Bras
The trailer for Michael Haneke's shot-for-shot English remake of his original Funny Games has been out for some time, but this R-rated version ups the ante, adding visible shotgun wounding, more Naomi Watts in a bra, and more Tim Roth looking rough as anything. Watch it under the cut.

Sep 28 2007 'Funny Games' Poster Destroys Environment
Cinematical got a peek at the poster for the English-language remake of Funny Games, and I'm loving it. I'm not sure if it's the minimalism, strangely-placed text, or that Naomi Watts appears to be playing Dr. Blight from Captain Planet, but it's all really working.
