Hey Have You Seen The Wall Street: Money Never Sleeps Trailer?

I know what you're thinking

YOU: "Damn I sure do wanna see a sequel?"
ME: Really? To what? District 9? Star Trek? Zombieland?
YOU: "Nah son. Wall Street!"
ME: That was gonna be my next guess. And hey you say son just like I do!

Here's the teaser trailer to "Wall Street: Money Never Sleeps". For those keeping score the "Greed is Good" mandatory reference shows up at the 1:01 mark in the trailer. I'll say this, how Wu-Tang's C.R.E.A.M. isn't sampled in this trailer is beyond me. Shame on you Mr. Stone.

Hey Have You Seen That Hot Tub Time Machine Trailer?

Any movie named after something I wish I invented first already has my vote like "The Time Machine", "Soul Power", or "The House Of The Devil". Here's the trailer for the new comedy "Hot Tub Time Machine". My three favorite things about this trailer:

A) Craig Robinson looking right at us on, "Hot Tub Time Machine".
B) "I Feel Pregnant."
C) The final shot of John Cusack apologizing to us for "2012".

"Hot Tub Time Machine" arrives in theaters in March.

Hey Have You Seen That Machete Trailer?

That's the new poster for the upcoming Machete. This might be the first poster that don't need an alternate tag line from me, "They Fucked With The Wrong Mexican". Yeah they did. CHUD has a story here about what the current status of Machete is. If you don't know what Machete is know this, it stars Danny Trejo, Robert De Niro, Cheech Marin, Steven Seagal, Michelle Rodriguez (Hello Michelle my name is Ricky), Jeff Fahey, and Lindsey Lohan. Here's the trailer that made people want to see a full Machete movie. Good work everyone.

The Purple One.

Prince is my guy. He's a genius. The stranger a story I hear about Prince the easier it is for me to accept as absolute fact. I was told this week he was referred to by Wendy and Lisa (former members of The New Power Generation**) as the "Fancy Lesbian". My immediate reaction? Of course he is. Now today I get sent not one but two separate emails with the story that Prince has recorded a new fight song for the Minnesota Vikings. My immediate reaction? Of course he did. Here is the Minnesota Vikings Fight song courtesy of Prince titled "Purple And Gold".



And here's a bonus clip kids. The trifecta. Prince, Michael Jackson, and James Brown performing at the Apollo.



Happy Friday.
**My apologies, I was informed that Wendy and Lisa were in the Revolution. I lose two Purple Points for that error.

Happy Hump Day!

Hey Have You Seen The New A-Team Trailer?

Hey. HEY! It's been a minute since I posted a trailer. My bad. So let's get it going again with the trailer to The A-Team. Remember that show from the 1980's? That's the one where the British nanny was forced to work for the American family who had adopted 2 brothers and they lived in this awesome house that Alfonso Ribiero always used to come hang out in. This is a contemporary version and it looks like they are going more the action-adventure route this time around. The A-Team stars Liam Neeson, Bradley Cooper (laaadies!), Sharlto Copely (sans Christopher Robinson), and Mr.T's futurized mohawk. The A-Team arrives in theaters on June 11, 2010.
