So great, but for some reason I wasn't expecting them to be doing the accents. Which seems silly, in retrospect.

EDIT: I do wonder why there are so few weed references. I thought it was going to be more stoner-comedy than that.

yeah the accents threw me off too. it might take a second to get used to, but ill admit, it makes the cursing and jokes even funnier

The accents make everything funnier. It makes Franco's "Shut up" funnier than the buttfucking line.
And Franco's character is named FABIOUS.

Between Portman's medieval thong and the Green Lantern trailer, I think the internet's going to overloaded with gifs and screencaps tonight.

I always hesitate at red band trailers, because they do tend to give away a lot of the good bits, but I think even with the cursing and almost boobshots, there's still a lot of awesome that we've only glimpsed at.

I'd really love it if it followed Pineapple Express in managing to be a goofy comedy and also have some good character work AND some kickass action sequences. It looks like a more fantastical Knight's Tale, which I consider a wholly good thing.

Yep. That looks awesome. It's interesting to hear Danny McBride without his usual backwoods asshole accent, and I like it.

I was hoping for Danny McBride's normal accent, but even thought I was thrown off by it at the beginning, but I quickly got used to it, as well as Franco's accent.

Looks like a friggin' blast!

"That's funny, I was just finishing thinking about you."

"If your vagina is anything like my hand, there will be no problems."

HILARIOUS!

I wonder how many will finish thinking about Portman after this movie.

Should be entertaining. I thought the FX were going to look a bit more retro (ala KRULL) as per some interviews from a while back. They looked like expensive modern CGI to me.

Accents threw me off as well. And Portman's rear? Wow.

I thought the trailer was ok, but it felt more like a really really funny movie that the marketing dept wasn't quite sure how to sell. I have a feeling, given the crew involved, that there are going to be a whole lot of funny things happening between the big jokes that really put it over the top. That said, the fantastic Portman ass shot justifies the ticket price on its own.

Same here. Just the fact that something like this exists makes me laugh.
And who the hell could have guessed ten years ago that David Gordon Green will be directing something like this? Amazing.

In another tread I wrote that I didn't find Portman attractive. In V for Vendatta, she really does look like a minor. I have NEVER been so wrong about something in my life!

It's the attitude that does it, I think. One of the few times I actually found Portman legitimately sexy was when she was rapping for that SNL Digital Short. What we see of her in this trailer is along similar lines for me.

Really. This does indeed look good. I liked Pineapple Express especially Franco and McBride (more than Rogen) nice to see the crew back (minus Seth) this could be a winner.

If we're judging by ass shots, Morning Glory looks better than this. But if we're judging by any other metric, this movie looks like God made it to reward me personally.

I'm kinda getting a Land of the Lost vibe from this, and not because of McBride. Although it looks like it could be really funny, it seems, from a business point of view, like a rather dubious investment. A pricey R-rated stoner comedy full of big special effects set across a broad fantastic canvas? Eek.

The accents are a good move I think, allows the film to distinguish itself as a spoof or pastiche that's putting in some effort (also keeps McBride from looking repetitive, something Rogen is accused of being) and you can of course, mine comedy from it.

I came down on Pineapple Express a little bit, but watching it at home I realized that a lot of what chafed about it was the hype, and I've grown to enjoy it more and more, plus, I love me some Justin Theroux, so this looks doable.

To break rank and bring up a non-ass related Portman subject, I'm really digging her career choices at the moment (Thor still feels really fucking shaky), she's not allowing herself to get boxed in.

I usually find stoner/sex/profanity based humour to be cheap and lazy. This trailer is a perfect example of how you do that stuff RIGHT.

Though I'm admit I'm not totally sold...there are some pretty dusty gags in there. HEY LOOK SHE'S A GIRL BUT SHE'S MORE KICKASS THAN THE GUYS HAR HAR HAR. Also, they almost lost me with the "suck the venom out" gag--I'm pretty sure that joke is older than my dad--but McBride turned it into something funny.

I think the thing that puts it over the top is that it does look like a "real", polished, decently-budgeted fantasy movie with lots of creatures and magic and shit. I can see why they didn't try to ape the muppets-and-bluescreen FX style of the 80s; we're used to comedies being more lo-fi when they try to do FX stuff, so it probably wouldn't have registered as a gag.

That actually makes me a little worried that this will end up as the next Land of the Lost. Then again, I liked that movie, so whatever.

I've watched the trailer 3 times now. Is there any chance this can come out next week?

I'll probably be watching this myself, per usual, as none of my friends thought Pineapple Express or Land of the Lost were very funny either.

I need new friends.

I loved Pineapple Express, I loved everything McBride has been prominently in (even Land Of The Lost), but I was still expecting this to turn out a bit of a dud for some reason. Not any more. Wow.

Edited to remove naming error.

Is Land of the Lost called "The Lost World" in Greece?

No that was me mixing the titles up. To tell you the truth I don't even know what Land Of The Lost was called in Greece.

Up until this trailer, I've been in the "Portman's beautiful in a delicate, elegant way, but elicits no sexual response" camp.

But. That. Ass.

Portman's magnificent glutes aside, this looks like it'll either be unbelievably funny or painfully bad. I'm getting something of a "trying too hard" vibe from the trailer, but that could be entirely wrong.

Okay, of all the trailers that debuted over the last couple of days, this is the only one I can get behind. While I liked Pineapple Express, I wasn't as head over heels about it as some folks. However, this one looks flat out great, and that trailer is very effective. I was looking forward to this one since the reports first started to surface, but now I really can't wait to see it.

I guess this boat has sailed without me, because too much of that looked like it could have come from the _______ Movie franchise.

McBride is like Will Ferrell for me -- too much of his humor comes from relying on loud non sequitur and being boorishly out of place, and a little of it goes a very long way.

Firmly on-board the love for Portman's ass though. Or firmly on-board Portman's ass, whichever you prefer.

I think the issues stem from the fact that the funny in most of these films come in the form of 5 minute riffs that you simply can't condense into a trailer. I'm sure we haven't seen any of the best stuff.

I'm very surprised by the action. I would have probably been okay if the entire film was of the cast just walking through woods and mountains making buttfucking jokes.

Looks a little broader than I thought it would be, but still pretty damn funny. I'm glad that it doesn't appear that McBride is simply playing "Sir Kenny Powers."

I think it would be hilarious if Franco and Portman both win Oscars a month or so before this comes out and then have to go out and promote this goofy lark.
