Red State - official movie trailer...

[MinionZombie]

Looks pretty darn kick arse to me! As a regular listener to the SModcast network and SModcast Internet Radio, I've heard the ins-and-outs of Smith's intentions with Red State's release ... repeatedly ... ad nauseum ... and then repeated some more ... and a little bit more after that ... ... so I'm looking forward to actually seeing the goddamned movie!

Did he really put his friggin twitter tag in the middle of the trailer? I'm still interested in seeing the movie, but Smith's recent antics are starting to put me off. I hear now he's working on an evening talk show to be aired after TMZ? The TMZ viewing audience seems like a good crowd for him....

I liked the first trailer we saw a while back, better. I'll watch this movie, but I'm not going to run to the theater for it.

eh, as ive gotten older ive gotten less enjoyment out of smith with each flick he makes bar both clerks films. Honestly im watching this for john goodmans name attached not his.

Honestly im watching this for john goodmans name attached not his. Throw in Michael Parks and I agree. Two great actors are the saving grace with this one.

Eh, not really impressed, plus the whole naming it "Red State" to begin with seems rightly ignorant and juvenile to me ('cause all we Republican states are just redneck inbred racists after all!). Sigh... I'll probably check it out on Netflix when it comes available just for John Goodman though. Nothing will ever top "King Ralph" though! I can watch that movie over, and over, and over... j.p.

Regarding the title - Smith has said numerous times that it's not to do with Republicanism (indeed, the family in the movie are beyond anything, they're their own brand if you will), but simply - being a horror movie - blood. Although, as it has been understood by so many to be to do with bashing Republicans (Smith says that each side of the house gets the finger in the flick), I'm surprised that he didn't try to clarify the title more heavily from the very beginning. I am somewhat surprised by the amount of "meh-ing" here, though. I think it looks pretty darn cool - I'm certainly up for it (after, as I've said before, an exhaustive and repetitive amount of build up and talk) - I'm also intrigued to see what a Smith film looks like that isn't a comedy.

Blimey, such negativity from you guys...

Blimey, such negativity from you guys... Meh, last time I brought up Red State I was accused of working for Smith just because I was excited about the flick and that excitement was refelcted in my wordy post. This should be expected, MZ. I, for one, am excited as hell to see Michael Parks' performance in this movie, as well as Goodman's. I think it's going to be quite an exciting flick, and nothing like what we've ever seen or expect from Smith.

Indeed, I've been deemed a "fan boy" for being interested in Red State ... I mean sheesh ... it's kind of like how Smith joked about Comic-Con, the only place where someone in a Star Trek costume can look at someone in a Chewbacca costume and go "pfft, fuckin' nerd..." I think there's a lesson to be learned there.

Indeed, I've been deemed a "fan boy" for being interested in Red State ... I mean sheesh ... Well, at least I have some company now.. it's kind of like how Smith joked about Comic-Con, the only place where someone in a Star Trek costume can look at someone in a Chewbacca costume and go "pfft, fuckin' nerd..." I think there's a lesson to be learned there. Yes, yes there is.

Seriously though, its not surprising a lot of people are seeing a man whos made his career on dick and weed jokes doing a horror film- a genre that, lets be honest, is often the last bastion of the lazy filmmaker and people dont get excited for that. its like an action movie star making a kids movie. its a different genre from there comfortable pigeon hole and whilst it doesnt put people off it doesnt exactly generate enthusiasm y'know? Personally ive kind of waned from smith as i think he is his best when he is writing from personal experience and saying something meaningful, and ive seen 'the crazy religious folks in the boonies' horror film many times before and its not what i want from this director. -and to be fair, you arent a fanboy, technically you're a kevin smith apologist not quite aggro enough for the blind loyalty defence force, but give it a few years to brew some bile, every fan gets there with something. You know who you are
