Medieval hilarity in the guise of Pineapple Express?  :awesome_for_real:

Looks really stupid, I'd watch it.

Looks awesome!

Looks terrible. Pop culture in fantasy can work well (Knight's Tale) but mostly it's just cringingly awful (Black Knight).

I shouldn't think that is funny, but I do. God help me.

Bone stupid but funny as hell. I'll give just about anything with Danny McBride a chance.

Silly but it looks like the pop culture doesn't go over the top in a way that breaks immersion which is something all those scary movie/airplane ripoffs have been doing lately.

Somehow I kept thinking that this is the logical halfway point between RP servers in WoW and World of Whorecraft.

Trailer reminded me that I'm still in luv with Natalie Portman.  :inluv:

Yeah, anything that highlights the Portman in a Leia bikini, I'm in favor of.

KENNY POWERS!

Looks fucking awesome    :drill: :drill: :drill:

Looks fantastic... but sadly i cant stand Portman since the star wars films.

Someone want to help me burn this heretic?

He is just horribly broken, and the biggest damn drama queen I've ever had the pleasure to listen to over team speak.

Misa Jar Jar Binks. :grin:

In all seriousness I just found her incredibly annoying all the way through that trailer, and kept wishing they would just get away from her her and back to the awesome other characters. Hell she didn't really have a character, just yet another Bimbo the Warrior Princess. Yeah, we haven't seen that before 160 times.

Maybe she will be a lot better in the full film. *shrug*

That's funny because I feel the exact opposite.  Knight's Tale was offal.  Black Knight was your average lowbrow comedy de jour.

Oh yeah, thanks for reminding me of the drivel that was the Knights Tale.

Heath Ledger made one good movie and now he gets a pass on everything because he killed himself.

I can't wait for Schild to come in here and start whooping all your asses about Knight's Tale.

It can't be a bad movie, it got Geoffrey Chaucer in it.  :awesome_for_real:

I forgave Ewan McGreggor & Samuel L Jackson, so I can definitely forgive Natalie Portman sporting next to nothing.

Paul Bettany as Chaucer, no less. That makes me give it an automatic pass.

I saw this trailer at work today. Then I saw Cowboys vs Aliens.

One of those movies will be good.

I think we all know which one it'll be.

Exactly.

I'm liking your whole new positive posting gimmick.

Ha, no.

I'm not sure about this one. Parts of it looks like it's trying too hard while other parts look like they're half-assing it. I'm happy I got to see Portman in a thong, though.

By the way, Knight's Tale was awesome.

"I'm seeing you making a fool of yourself.  Thaddeus(?) handle your shit, please!" - lol

Looks like a latenight drunk-with-munchies instant classic.  Wish I was 18 again.

I forgave Natalie after her rap video.  And I really wasn't very mad at her very much considering the absolute shit she was given to work with.

Though I am drawn to short hair on girls for some reason, so that video was pure  :drill:  :drillf: .

Haha, yeah, that was my favorite line of the trailer.  I may go see the movie just for that.

This movie looks horrible and awesome.  Possibly horribly awesome.

Really? You choose Black Knight over a Knight's Tale? I couldn't even finish Black Knight it was so horrible...

A Knight's Tale on the other hand is awesome as long as you go in knowing you're getting a sports movie with fantasy trappings.

Black knight was shit on a stick.

That said, Portman's ass is fabulous.

Her ass has a 98% fresh rating

Great trailer!  I laughed my ass off, I just hope they didn't show all the funny bits.  NP is like 30 and her ass is amazing I must concur.

It looks like someone filmed a Dungeons and Dragons role playing session.

And I mean this is in a good way.

Yes.  Black Knight knew it was awful and played that angle up.  I got a few laughs at the absurdity of Martin Lawrence teaching King Arthur and the gang how to break dance, etc. 

A Knight's Tale was trying to be a Good Movie™ and was patently ridiculous.  And not in a good way.  There was nothing redeemable about it. not even in a rubbernecking a trainwreck sort of way.

I don't think you're right.

 :oh_i_see:

It's tough taking a position that portrays Black Knight in a positive light, but somebody has to be That Guy™.  Anyway, I thought Knight's Tale was childish, retarded, not funny, poorly acted, ill-conceived, and in general having all the characteristics of a pile of shit.  Black Knight was most/all of that with the addition of being pretty funny when you're high.  I feel like my position on this matter is unassailable.   :awesome_for_real:

I am legend, fucking be there.

And yet again, you'd be wrong.

I'm not sure how "Knight's Tale"'s metascore being almost double that of "Black Knight" supports your point.

And actually got a rating 5 times higher than Black Knight on rotten tomatoes.

What part of "Black Knight" is funny when you're high" don't you people understand?  JEEZ.   :why_so_serious:

Everything is funny when your high.   :awesome_for_real:

Disturbing.

Jesus Christ, I only spotted up on that pic for 3 seconds the first time into this thread. Now I get it...

Always liked Tilda's odd look... Her portrayal of Gabriel was fantastic, and frightening.

I will pay to see this movie to support seeing that ass again in the future.

And Knight's Tale was an awesome movie.  Sports movie with fantasy trappings was a very good description.   :awesome_for_real:

NSFW

Why is dusematic replying with an image of Tilda Sw-JESUS FUCK!

I was wondering what was so disturbing... then it happened   :ye_gods:

Yes the subtlety is very well played.

For those of you who missed it, that picture (and many like it) came from this page:

*ahem*

I'll be in my hyperbaric chamber.


/Didn't care for Orlando.

I cannot decide after seeing more trailers if this is going to be funny or absolutely fucking monstrously stupid crap.

I figure it's going to be as "good" as Scary Movie 3.   If it's lucky it'll achieve Scary Movie 2, but not likely.  At worst it'll be "Epic Movie" and you'll never hear about it again once it finally releases.

I miss good parodies.

See this is where you're wrong. It's a parody movie but it's not lampooning anything, which is where all the scary movie/vampire's suck etc etc etc movies went wrong. This movie could have just made lord of the ring and fatasy movie jokes throughout but they are taking a diff tact, keeping the setting consitent albeit silly. Shile it probably won't compare, it's far more akin to the discworld than scary movie.

I know I'm several months late to this party but I couldn't figure out why everyone was...freaked. So I went back to the picture and was like "It's just Tilda Swinton." Then glanced away and back right as it happened. *shudders*

Yeah, this just got me too.

Pretty much everything I was expecting and lived up to expectations. Just raunchy enough, 0 pop culture references and a lot of people being stupid. A very good parody/comedy and a DnD game on the big screen.

You had me at "0 pop culture references."  That sounds very refreshing.

There is some modern vernacular, like motherfucker, shit and I believe one time they call the magic herb sticky icky but no references to any movies/shows or anything like that. If I was able to best describe it, it would be movie made out of someone's DnD campaign. Also the story while fairly straightforward I believe was solid.

Indeed

The trailers were nothing but a series of disconnected jokes that gave you no clue as to what the movie was about, and the fact that half the people in this thread seem to have been expecting a "Scary Movie" type of parody when it's no such thing is pretty damning in regards to their marketing. They did not sell this movie properly and they're paying for it with a shit opening that they should have been able to at least double.

I don't disagree there but it would also be hard to sell a "medievil quest comedy" movie too I think. It's a weird geek/stoner hybrid movie that will probably have it's niche but I can't see it having mass appeal.

The trailer actually made me really want to see this, but with the word of mouth I'm waiting for Netflix.

The article in GQ where they interview Danny McBride provides interesting insight into how this movie came to be made. "Stoner medieval fantasy" is an apt description.

I saw this on Saturday and enjoyed it.  It's a half decent fantasy movie crossed with a half decent comedy movie, which all together adds up to something decently entertaining.

"A movie made out of someone's DnD campaign" does sum it up well.

Saw this recently, I liked it quite a bit. I loved the language they used, how it all sounded so corny, talking about quests and crap.

 

I picked it up at the library, watched it the other day. Was pretty much what I expected, though I figured there would be more random boobage than there was.

Would not have paid 9 bucks to see it in the theater though.
