Red Band Trailer: Horrible Bosses

What do you do when your boss is mildly unlikable or difficult to deal with? You plan to kill them, of course.

I would love to find this and throw it up in crisp, clear HD, but alas, the exclusivity gods have made that a bit difficult over the last couple of days. As it is, this is a redband trailer for Horrible Bosses, where the word "redband" translates into "people saying awful things to one another." You've been forewarned! It's pretty funny, but also not quite safe for an office environment, especially if your boss already suspects you of desiring to kill him/her.

Jason Bateman needs to be in more movies.

I really hope this movie turns out great. And Motherfucker Jones is an awesome name.

I heard from Opie and Anthony that this was really funny.

Took me a while to figure out who that Jennifer aniston lookalike was.

im not quite getting how rape is funny, even if the perpetrator is a woman.

First time I saw a trailer for this movie I was sold, still am totally sold.

No, I took her invitation to fuck her as an invitation to fuck her... classic line.

Looks good except for the girl-rapes-man "comedy". Even if it turns out to have been totally pretend or something, it doesn't seem like the joke you want in your trailers, unless you are total misandrist preaching to other misandrists.

On that note, Chrome doesn't even have "misandry" or "misandrist" in its dictionary by default. How fucked is that?

That was actually pretty funny. Although I don't Nintendo is going to find it funny that they stole their phrase...

Indeed. He's really funny.

Also, Colin Farrell looks sick in this movie!

Oh my god, did you see those three guys who are trying to kill their bosses but are totally inept? That's so funny! They try to hire a hitman from the 'men seeking men' section, because they're men seeking a man, but they need him to kill a bunch of people, but the people in the ads are looking for sex, but they didn't realise because they're so inept and awkward! That's so funny! They also try to drive their cars away at the same time, but block each other in, because they're so awkward and inept! That's so funny! Also, one of the bosses rapes the employee, which is funny because the rest of the film is funny...wait a minute.

The sad thing is, this will probably not do too badly.

Yep, saw this earlier today and it seems like it's going to great.

Jennifer Aniston should be a brunette more often.  Yowza.

While I'm up for seeing Charlie Day in some movies, and this looks really funny and great, I gotta say it's awfully stupid:) Why not just quit? Steal things from the office as an act of revenge? Do horrible work? Honestly, there are at least a dozen of more rational options to run through before you get to, "I have to kill my boss".
 
Also, I believe we're all in agreement that Charlie's specific problem -- Jennifer Aniston -- is the kind of problem you WANNA have;) Also, props to Colin Farrell and Loan Grufford for going against-type here. I've hated on Farrell in the past, but he's a'ight compared to grade-A douches like Shia Lebouf or Charlie Sheen.

Still sorta on the fence about this one, but I'm glad those guys are getting good work.

    A time travel story with no time travel, Sound of My Voice is intimate science fiction with only one concern: constructing a smart, incredibly acted puzzle for viewers to lose themselves in.

    Review
    Sacha Baron Cohen tries to recapture the glory of his prior foreigner-in-America culture comedy, but a lack of heart and diminishing returns on the successful gimmick turns this into a movie of decent jokes a decade too late.

    When sushi becomes art as much as it is food, the art of presenting it on film becomes transformative not only to the cuisine, but the people who make it.
