I don't know whether to laugh or cry.
that just blew my mind.
i thought it was awesome :yabbse-grin:
That is absolutely amazing. Thank you for making my day.
And I'll definitely be going to the screening...but I'm just wary of the junket.
that was pretty damn funny
i split ProgWRX's post and all the above from the Elizabethtown thread in the cameron crowe forum.
this trailer should get more views than that forum has in its history.
sorry GB now ur comments about the junket don't make sense, it was a hard split. :yabbse-lipsrsealed:
hahahahahahahahahahha!
I had to post something on my website about this...it's just too good. Where'd you find it, Prog?
Oh my dear fucking god, that is not only hilarious but goddamn brilliant. It just proved so many things about marketing, I would say. It's more than just a great joke, it's a genius commentary.
Milk just shot out my nose... and I wasn't drinking any at the time.
Oh man, that was really funny.. :lol:
Fuck, the link doesnt work any more...milk just shot out my nose in anger, and I was eating chicken!!
My god, that thing is really just amazing. That turned this entire week from bad to good right now.
Woo Hoo, it worked this time!!! jiz just shot out my wang in laughter!!!
those two twins in the movie just shot out of my wang in a fit of laughter.
hilarious on so many different levels.
Classic.
If you can't get it to work, they have it up at collegehumor.com
Cameron Crowe would see that.
So funny yet so much proof to those who dont believe that a tralier can be the biggest liar in the world.
biggest liar in the world? that's a bit of hyperbole. 'sides, g-dub holds that title.
What the fuck? Seriously, WHAT THE FUCK? How is this allowed? It is a STANLEY KUBRICK MOVIE!!!!! Isn't there some fucking law against this recutting? Honestly, I have never been more outraged by a preview or anything else film related, nothing else has been so sacreligous.
It's hilarious in how awful it is, but seriously, WHAT. THE. FUCK. Whoever made this rerelease and marketing strategy possible should be drowned.
Ultrahip, your shoelace is untied.
this is like when coffeebeetle thought the pictures of PTA's house were real.
remember that, ppl? (http://xixax.com/viewtopic.php?p=142444#142444) hopefully Ultrahip Lobster Supper will recover better.
He could be kidding and you fell for it.
He could be...

I verily declare that to be humorous.

Yeah, there's a reason. That end song was used for Vanilla Sky commercials, and I believe in the film as well, over the Cruise/Cruz romance.

His 'Secret' Movie Trailer Is No Secret Anymore
LOS ANGELES, Sept. 29 — Robert Ryang, 25, a film editor's assistant in Manhattan, graduated from Columbia three years ago with a double major in film studies and psychology. This week, he got an eye-opening lesson in both.
Since 2002, Mr. Ryang has worked for one of the owners of P.S. 260, a commercial postproduction house, cutting commercials for the likes of Citizens Bank, Cingular and the TriBeCa Film Festival.
A few weeks back, he said, he entered a contest for editors' assistants sponsored by the New York chapter of the Association of Independent Creative Editors. The challenge? Take any movie and cut a new trailer for it — but in an entirely different genre. Only the sound and dialogue could be modified, not the visuals, he said.
Mr. Ryang chose "The Shining," Stanley Kubrick's 1980 horror film starring Jack Nicholson and Shelley Duvall. In his hands, it became a saccharine comedy — about a writer struggling to find his muse and a boy lonely for a father. Gilding the lily, he even set it against "Solsbury Hill," the way-too-overused Peter Gabriel song heard in comedies billed as life-changing experiences, like last year's "In Good Company."
Mr. Ryang won the contest, and about 10 days ago, he said, he sent three friends a link to a "secret site" on his company's Web site where they could watch his entry.
One of them, Mr. Ryang said, posted it on his little-watched blog. And that was that. Until this week, when he was hit by a tsunami of Internet interest.
On Wednesday, Mr. Ryang said, his secret site got 12,000 hits. By Thursday the numbers were even higher, his film was being downloaded and linked to on countless other sites, it had cracked the top 10 most popular spoofs on www.ifilm.com, and a vice president at a major Hollywood studio had called up his office, scouting for new talent.
"He said it's being circulated everywhere in the film community," Mr. Ryang said of the executive, not wanting to name the man for fear of alienating him. "He wanted to know who I was, and if I had any creative ideas. I told him I'd put together a reel."
Mr. Ryang said that he was blown away by the experience, and that his boss wasn't exactly angry, despite the computer system's nearly having crashed, because of all the attention he had won for P.S. 260.
Though, it seems, the attention was directed more specifically at Mr. Ryang — who is suddenly being forced to rethink his future as an assistant.
"People have been calling producers here, asking about who made it," he said. "I really didn't realize how fast the world moves."
--------------------------
In addition to The Shining trailer by Rob, 2 others were made at P.S. 260:
West Side Story (http://www.ps260.com/Trailer/westsidestorytrailer_small.mov)
Titanic (http://www.ps260.com/elfollador/Scary%20Titanic.mov)
They can't compete with The Shining trailer, though.
good for him, maybe now he can afford to have that G removed.

No, but that trailer really made me want to see West Side Story done as 28 Days Later.

The Shining won 1st place for that chapter of the competition. West Side Story won 3rd. (I couldn't find the 2nd place one online)
