Trailers from [Chat]

The site is a compulsively watchable compendium of vintage and contemporary trailers from A ("Adam's Rib") to Z ("Zombie") culled primarily from Dante's own collection (suffice to say, some are NSFW). Originally conceived as an archive of trailers for horror and science fiction films, the site, since its debut in 2007, has expanded to include titles representing all genres. But what elevates "Trailers from Hell" from just googling a movie trailer and watching it online are the A-list "gurus" who provide optional rhapsodic and appreciative commentaries extolling the movies they love.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Eu1VOmwuHag"I was always a big trailer fan," Dante said in a phone interview. "I collect films in 35 and 16 millimeter. I realized I had accumulated reels and reels of 35mm trailers, some of which were kind of rare. They were not doing me any good just sitting in a vault. You have to show these things to people. I first thought I could put them up on the Internet, but anybody could do that. What could I do that would be different? I picked five and did a little commentary on each. I stuck that up on the Internet for awhile to no particular interest on the part of anybody, but some friends of mine saw them and they said there were pictures they'd like to talk about."

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dWitBOJP-80"They are really artifacts of their time," Dante said. "Look at a sophisticated movie like 'The Grapes of Wrath' and then you see the trailer (not on the site, but available on YouTube) and realize how unsophisticated the sell to try to get people to go see the movie. It really tells you a great deal about the time and what the studio thought of their audience."

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=abVSa5-Q7JY"Trailers from Hell" goes beyond the mere nostalgic kick of seeing trailers for classic, vintage and favorite films. Dante has seen the site grow into something of a "mini film school," he said. "The nicest thing is when people come up to us and say there's a movie they had never heard of, but they watched the trailer on our site, got it on Netflix, and now it's one of their favorite movies. The site hasn't been a goldmine, but as a labor of love, we're very proud of it."

They are dumb and awkward and don't care if people handle them.
They're tree cows. Algae moth infested tree cows.

It is a modern day epic. Gotta watch it in one sitting. It slows down maybe once (at the beach) but besides that it is well-paced, constantly entertaining, and feels like this full, dense, movie - which is amazing considering it's as long as it is.
I mean, our ruling party is shit and definitely deserves it, but dang
is that a good damn or a bad damn?
Well its a hell of a difference, like if it wasnt for the identifying tattoos you wouldnt say its the same person.
the way he's holding that pig, for a second I thought that was supposed to be Cameron
blame it on the Grauniad's proof reading standards I guess
I'm sorry your Country's Government is a buncha geese.
I've seen Suicide Circle, Noriko's Dinner Table, Cold Fish, and Guilty of Romance - I think Love Exposure is probably the strongest of them
nah it's because one of the several bad PR things about denmark these days is how several towns instituted mandatory pork on menus as part of the culture war against muslims
wow that's gross
have meeting w supervisor in 7 hours
also, and to a higher degree, their largest supporting party(who actually got more seats but figure they can have more influence and less responsibility this way) the Danish People's Party. Most of the other parties' racist bullshit are attempts to compete with the DPP.
show me
tl;dr: Economic uncertainty is complicated, but that uncertainty makes it easier to listen to "simple" solutions.
If you go to TMZ and scroll down just a bit you can see it but like the after like just after surgery its not gross but its not pretty.
Id post it but they are bare butt.
EDIT: Its 2 posts after the little person stripper
