You might remember that previously we discussed the SyFy channel's cinematic (on the small screen) masterpiece, Sharktopus. Now obviously it must be nigh-impossible to top that work of incredible genius, but we would like to present one possibility:

Is it possible that DINOSHARK is a classier Sharktopus? We're not sure, as the trailer is not quite as impressive as the Sharktopus trailer, but fangasmic fans, we leave this one to you: call it. Dinoshark or Sharktopus?

[trailers] How Can a Trailer This Short Make a Movie Look This Terrible?

So you may have heard that Jason Momoa (whom I am sure most of you know as Ronon from SGA, because apparently outside of that, his sum total of reasons to be famous involve being Lisa Bonet's husband) is going to be in a film version of Conan the Barbarian. Aside from the fact that I burst into one of those hysterical laughing jags that is exclusively used to mask despair, I have been keeping track of this project -- mostly because apparently the other person who could have been cast in the role was Jared "Hi, I'm one half of the fandom where RPS has the higher moral ground!" Padalecki.

Anyway.

The point is. Now there's an official trailer.

I'm so sorry:

So in case you, unlike me, are too smart to click the play button on that because you think that probably it is so terrible it will drive you to histrionic madness (you're not wrong!) there are a few really marvelous things you need to know about this trailer:

• Having already not wanted to see this movie, this trailer has now elevated that sentiment to the astral plane, where it's cavorting with all the Snapewives who married him there.
• There is an amazing and even better, possibly unintentional sex thing in the actual fucking title card of this movie, where the sword hilts itself into the name, Conan, which makes my lizard brain think, "Wow, is this entire shitshow going to be about Conan being fucked? Even though he's a super badass barbarian?"
• But MOST IMPORTANTLY OF ALL, there is this line of dialogue from Jason Momoa: "I live. I love. I slay. And I am content." Yes.

[trailers] Movie Of The Year: SHARKTOPUS

Leave it to SyFy (Seriously, does anyone else think their new name looks like either an erectile dysfunction medicine or space herpes?) to come up with what could be the made-for-tv movie of the year. Not since Thoughtcrimes have we been so excited for a TV movie. Don't believe me? Here, check out this absolutely amazing(ly bad) trailer:

Is it so bad it's good or so bad it's just bad? It's hard for me to be objective. On the one hand, it can walk on it's tentacles and kill some bikini-clad ladies to death. On the other--

No wait. It can kill bikini-clad ladies to death. Sometimes when they are bungee-jumping. I think we have a winner. Also, Sharktopus. Seriously.

[trailers] Penultimate Harry Potter film, like a teenage boy, is coming soon

In between Sandra Bullock being the classiest class act that was ever classy (yay) Twilight: New Moon winning seriously every award ever (inevitable), perhaps the best part of the MTV Movie Awards last night was the premiere of a new trailer for Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part I:

It's been a while since we here at FG read the last book, but the trailer seems to hit all the major plots I remember:

1. Voldemort was kinda creepy.
2. The trio went on the longest, angriest camping trip since my family went to Florida for Spring Break in 1998.

But seriously, the trailer is pretty banging. It's interesting to see how far these movies have come visually since Chris Columbus' inaugural Potter film back in 2001. You can tell at a glance how much the story has evolved from the cheerfully glossy magical world we were first introduced to nearly a decade ago.

While I'm still not convinced this film needed to be two parts, I will of course be there with magical bells on when it comes out. And for the record, there are only 165 Days left until the movie is released. Who's excited?
