The Little Prince (retro trailer)
The Little Prince looks like one of the Children of the Damned. Did they mean to do that?

Netflix dumps Qwikster (whose stupid idea was that, anyway?)
Oh, for the love of pete…
The Three Musketeers (1948) (retro trailer)
Unlike Paul W.S. Anderson’s sure-to-be opus, this one doesn’t have 3D. But there are some painted backgrounds that are fairly hilarious.
retro trailer: “You Only Live Twice”
I thought I’d feature this as a contrast to the upcoming spy spoof Johnny English Reborn, but danged if this trailer isn’t as funny as Rowan Atkinson as a secret agent.
John Carpenter’s The Thing (retro trailer)
“Found something in the ice. We need some help down here. Can anybody hear me?”
things you need to know: Amazon is better than Netflix and Redbox, you dumbass
You think you’re all hip and modern and 21st-century and what have you with your streaming and your little red envelopes of DVDs coming to your mailbox. Ha. Amazon wants you to know: You ain’t shit, dude.
Straw Dogs (1971) (retro trailer)
Gotta love this trailer. “See Straw Dogs! Starring Dustin Hoffman and some chick’s nipples!”
question of the day: What changes would you actually like to see in the ‘Star Wars’ saga?
Perhaps little Anakin could be de-whined somehow?
The Grapes of Wrath (retro trailer)
Wherever there’s a director goin’ over budget, Fox’ll be there. Wherever there’s a spoiled movie star renegotiatin’ a contract, Fox’ll be there.
question of the day: How much can George Lucas alter ‘Star Wars’ before it’s no longer ‘Star Wars’?
I think we can agree that Star Wars is Lucas’s property to do whatever he wants with. But there must come a point at which Star Wars no longer feels like something the fans want to embrace.
