I didn’t see Old Dogs. I’m sort of bummed about this, because the film looks to be so sublimely terrible that I feel like I haven’t tested my cinematic manhood until I’ve watched it. But even for a movie that I have never seen, Old Dogs gives me so much joy. I mean, this video from the film is simply amazing, on every single level. It’s creepy, it’s bad, and it’s filled with creepy and bad clips from the film. Why would Travolta want to put his obviously not-that-talented daughter in a music video like this? It just seems cruel.
I know this is old, but I just saw it this week, thanks to my friend Keith Calder’s Twitter. You should follow Keith right here.

For the first time in my life, I, just now, contemplated suicide. Thank you, sir Faraci.
Which is worse, the music of Old Dogs, or the faces of Old Dogs? http://facesofolddogs.tumblr.com/
I just can't believe this is real. I can't believe it. This is the most incredible footage CHUD has brought me in a long time. What in god's name does those huge letters spell in the background? 'Hella Bled' ??
It's still better than rappin' Dee Dee King.
And yet every little girl watching the Disney channel wishes their dad would stop playing video games occasionally and come and sing & dance around with them too.
Baby, it's an iPod world!
Those letters spell his daughter's name.
And yeah, I can't believe this was made, either. It's kind of beyond description. It's just so odd and feels kind of pathetic.
Disney certainly hasn't lost its golden touch..
Um… I think maybe Jett Travolta took the easy way out.
…Too soon?
So today's movie news, according to CHUD, is that Devin got a press kit from Disney and found an old video on YouTube thanks to Twitter. Here's an idea: less time posting updates about pointless shit, more time writing reviews, features and stuff with substance. White Ribbon would seem to be the exact sort of movie Devin would like to see more of on this site, yet there's been no coverage at all. This is why people laugh at you when you complain the message boards are superficial and diluted. Lead by example.
I kind of wish Old Dogs was the film I thought it was from the trailer: An old bitchy gay couple fighting to get their kids back.
How is this creepy? It's pointless and I'm pretty sure I killed a few brain cells watching it. But how is this more "creepy" than effeminate boys in dresses shooting magic all over each other with their little wands (Harry Potter)? Or how is this more creepy than Devin's fascination of a little girl in leather performing Matrix-wannabe kung fu combined with needless and unrealistic bloodshed (Kick-Ass)? Devin, I know why you pretend to like the shit you do… It's not your fault. It's not your fault. Devin, look at me. It's not your fault. No, listen to me son, it's not your fault.
I'm going to have to agree with Martin.
This is not the type of "news" I come to this site for. I want to read reviews and behind the scenes info. I don't give a shit about Travolta spazzing off to an old Bobby Brown song.
A new Haneke movie is in theaters. The A-Team trailer has been online since yesterday. These are the sort of things I expect a movie site to tell me about. Devin, you've got a blog, you've got Facebook, you've got Twitter – please stop clogging up the limited slots on CHUD's main page with inane bullshit.
The A-Team trailer is online? Just checked at another movie news site, and sure enough… Man, it looks terrible.
It seems to me John Travolta feels guilty. Did you see a music video he made with Jett? He has an immeasurable amount of guilt for a perceived failure of parenthood, with his daughter's name in letters taller than him. I have to feel sympathy for he and his family, and this video makes the situation even sadder.
I used to think AICN was worse than CHUD but they've got news on ST sequel, the A-Team trailer and anime info over there today. We've got…. What Devlin Found On Youtube. Hmmm.
I don't know why it says "Ella Bleu" in big letters–she has almost nothing to do with the video. This is purely a John Travolta music video. I'm guessing Travolta is trying to set his daughter up Miley Cyrus-style.
@ #12 While Devin's obsession with leather-clad minors will always be the creepiest thing on this site, if you don't find this video at least a little creepy or disturbing then you must work for Disney's marketing dept. Oh, and I don't know where you came up with this insane "Harry Potter is creepy because they shoot magic from wands" idea. Gandolf does the same thing. I guess you find Lord of the Rings creepy, too, right? How 'bout action movies? Ever see a movie where someone fires a shotgun? It must've been creepy for you because a guy launched a "spray" of bullits out of a "long, hard shaft" after "fingering" the trigger and pointing it towards another guy's face. I think it would just be a good idea if we take away you're Ghostbusters lunchbox, and you stop eating penis shaped foods.
That was nothing short of absolutely fucking horrifying, man.
Devin, you really test your "Cinematic Manhood" go and see if "Did you Hear about the Morgan's" is still at the arclight. I would rather watch the underpass scene from "Irreversible" than to sit through that calamity again.
I couldn't watch more then thirty seconds of that.
I can't get rid of my goosebumps and need a shower now.
Somewhere, in a dark corner, Bobby Brown's crackpipe sheds a tear.
I bet Travolta can't wait until the daughter turns 18 and Xenu finds her a more attractive host body.
@ #19: Gandolf has a staff, or walking stick, AND he uses a sword. Ironically, even though he prefers to smoke pole IRL, his character lacks the prissy and effeminate nature of the Harry Potter characters. Therefore a fascination with Harry Potter, and putting it on a Top-15 movies of the year list = creepy. A movie with someone firing a shotgun isn't a fair comparison. Instead of a shotgun, it was a SwissMiniGun, THEN you would have a point. And only if it was an prissy British kid in a dress shooting it at other prissy British kids whilst riding his broom side saddle and flying through large hula hoops. Not that there's anything wrong with that… And my Ghostbusters lunchbox is worth a lot of money.
My Dad's got to do everything he can to get out of Hell for letting me die…. so you have this…plus, being caught making out with the guy who found my swollen corpse isn't helping to shut that firey door……http://gawker.com/5122788/travoltas-rumored-gay-lover-discovered-dead-son….Me and Michael Tylo are partying up here in heaven so things are pretty sweet. I told my Dad to go to hell for naming me Jett but not teaching me how to fly the private one we own so… oh wait… God just told me this retarded video isn't helping Dad and that he is still going to burn for letting me die…
