Yes, this is a red band trailer, meaning that the cuss words are intact. I am pretty sure the movie comes out this fall, and it appears to be a dark comedy. [![]( " - YouTube") ](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2tEDPZNWG4o) Are you up for it? ---

That looks absolutely hilarious. Like, returning to _Raising Arizona_-level absurd-funny. “Report back to me when, uh . . . well, when it makes sense.” “Back of the car, not, uh, rear entry situation.” ---

It’s a Coen Brothers film, therefore I am there first showing. Even their weakest films are better than most. ---

That looks hilarious. After Ocean’s Eleven, I’m sold on George Clooney and Brad Pitt working together. Which reminds me, I need to queue up Twelve. ---

That looks entertaining. Is that the guy from the old TV show “Sledge Hammer”? ---

Oh man, thanks for posting this! All my favorite actors are taking part, this will definitely be entertaining. ---

[/QUOTE] I’d skip straight to Thirteen if I were you - the middle one’s a shocker. As for the trailer, roll on autumn; this looks ace, just ace. ---

[QUOTE=Cisco] I thought so too at first but it’s not showing on his imdb entry. HAAAAAMMMMER! [/QUOTE] I think IMDB just hasn’t been updated yet. [Wow! Sledge Hammer! won an award](http://www.actorsequity.org/aboutequity/equityawards/seff_award.asp) I like that he won the award for a Chekov play, but it still needs to be stated that he played Sledge Hammer! Fun! pat ---

It looks hysterical. I thought so about _The Ladykillers_, too, though, based on the trailer, so I’ll await reviews. And by reviews, I mean Doper reviews, which are the only ones I trust! ---

I’m totally there.
