Have you seen this? The new “50 Shades of Grey” trailer is intended to make us salivate for the new movie, but all it does is remind us why we hate car commercials and bad song remakes.
Click here to see it. Think twice. Seriously.
The entire trailer is set to a version of “Wicked Game” that will make you want to poke your eyes out, which is just as good, because then you wouldn’t have to watch the rest of the teaser.
Most of it is varying shots of expensive items like watches and cars. It looks like a commercial for cheap cologne where the horrible stench actually permeates your screen, punching you in the face.
You deserve it if you continue watching this trailer past a minute.
There are numerous close-up shots of a sports car, which makes you think it’s a car commercial, but then you realize those have more excitement than this trailer brings.
The few shots of the actors are often blurry, which is probably for the best, as they show absolutely nothing about the plot.
If I hadn’t subjected myself to reading this poorly written book, I’d have no idea what the movie was about.
Come to think of it, that’s probably why it’s done this way.
I now want an expensive car.
And a watch…right?!
And a watch too!
Wait … it’s not a commercial for a car?
I’ve never wanted an Audi more than when I watched this trailer.
Of course, I had to go and watch that whole damned trailer!
I wasn’t going to see the movie, anyway, but now I am totally and completely convinced that I won’t go anywhere near it.
I would go to see Maura Stone’s version, though!
Thanks so much, Kathy!!!
Kathy, I’m both disappointed in you and happy that you watched the trailer. It looks just like a car commercial, right?
Thanks. Was planning to pass, now I’m more convinced.
For the love of God, Thomas, don’t subject yourself to this. You’ll be dumber for it.
Bravo! I wrote a parody of 50 Shades in the name of Cheri Blossum, an adult entertainer of the 1990’s: Secrets & Seduction. It’s some story – a real plot, real BDSM, a bit of gay sex thrown in and quite funny. Now THAT would make some movie!
I would totally see that movie! Assuming the character didn’t say “Holy cow!” constantly like the chick in this book did.
Worst. Book. Ever.
Thanks! I’m sure it would be like a Coen Brothers movie, though.
