Today's Trailer: a million dirty words in the West



Here's a little trailer I posted on MS this here yesterday:

This trailer is fifty-fifty in regards to showcasing novel material. A lot of it has been covered in previous trailers, while the opening and most of the second half consists of never-before-seen footage. In totally the same, raunchy, puerile way of course. Penis and pussy jokes are as commonplace here as bullets and bandits. This is Seth MacFarlane territory after all, so what else did you expect? I don't mind a potty mouthed neo-western for a change though, it's something else for a change, considering the overly serious tones that characterizes the genre. My fear for this movie is not the debasement of the iconic western genre so much as it is a situation of the trailer containing all the good jokes and the rest ending up to be shitty leftovers only. Especially since it's a red band trailer (again, as the previous previews for this film were), so we already know what kind of filthy language and absurdly steamy situations to expect, nor did they have to save the worst for the actual movie (they still might have, naturally). I don't think it's too smart a move for the promotional campaign to lay out all the cards on the table just yet in this regard, I would have gone with the usual green band trailers and only one red band trailer to spice things up a little. Not that it matters much, as fans of MacFarlane will know this movie just had to be Rated-R, as is his wont. PG-13 is not his style, as is common knowledge. And if it wasn't, it is now, thanks to this trailer and several just like it.
