Trailer trash update

An acquaintance on one of the mailing lists I frequent reminded me of one of the trailers that preceded Wall-E. Though I winced at the reminder, I originally intended to blog about this dog (all puns intended) of an upcoming movie anyway.

Beverly Hills Chihuahua. The movie's tag line is "50% Warrior. 50% Lover. 100% Chihuahua." (No, I'm not kidding.) The color scheme is loud with yellows, turquoise, and fuchsia. The action: Inane. (The trailer is mostly screenfuls of chihuahuas with feathers on their heads dancing on Aztec-style step-pyramids.) You've heard of blaxploitation flicks? BHC is a chihuahuaxploitation flick. Do NOT let any chihuahua see this movie unless you want to die in your sleep.

Jamie Zawinski warned people away from this turkey months ago in his blog, with a link to the trailer on youtube:

Why, yes, that's the trailer (though I remembered more yellow and fuschia in the version I saw in the theater). I guess if you're out in California you get to see trailers for movies a lot earlier than the rest of us.

I'm assuming that [livejournal.com profile] jwz's crack about Springtime for Hitler was intended as humor. If it wasn't, though, it deserves to fail. That trailer is the vilest thing I've seen in a movie theater. Ever. It was even viler than the trailer for Step Brothers, and that was pretty awful.
