I laugh every time I see this.

I wanted to do the same thing for the Keanu Reeves/River Phoenix movie My Own Private Idaho. The movie is a slow and depressing look at male prostitute druggies (one who is a narcoleptic). I figured if you cranked the B-52's "Private Idaho" and showed the few clips of Keanu and River smiling, having a pillow fight, and riding a motorcycle it would look like a wacky teen film. But I guess I'd have to watch the film again.

here's Johnny could be a catchy feel good saying if its done right.

One day there will be a horror movie that's completely hidden under the pretext of being a feel good film. I could see a trailer like that being used except there would be a split second shot of a corpse in the middle of it all. Just to make sure you look at it again.

joelf dude, that *exactly* what my SO Said when I showed him that clip. :))

"lets lure people to the movis thinking they're gonna seee a romantic comedy.. But nooo.."

And the Private Idaho idea so works Slack-a-go-go. :)

joelf, I would love that. Actually, I'd love it if there were no corpses at all, just completely misleading advertising. And the first fifteen minutes of the movie follow the same trend: light music, comedy, cute kids, hi-jinx, until out of nowhere comes the most horrifying, terrifying scene ever and all you can hear is the sound of a million lawsuits being filed at once.

I like the Private Idaho idea too. I can just picture the guy who liked to watch River clean the house dancing around his immaculate living room to jaunty music and people saying, "Aww, isn't that a sweet old man?"

How about West Side Story as a zombie film? Awesomeness!

Oh and slack-a-go-go, you had seen this before? Because I wasn't sure if this had already made the rounds, so I reckoned I should post here where happy threads would have saved it anyway instead of in the blue where I might get keelhauled for it. The pressure man!

So right now I feel like a moron having missed the sept 29 posting in the blue. Sheesh. I blame Jrun!
