And Now a Hot Tub Time Machine 2 Trailer That’s Not Bad
 |
I was a big fan of the first Hot Tub Time Machine – it really was like a great remake of Back to the Future without being saddled by remake baggage and cynical cash-grabbing.
The sequel appears to be carrying on that theme, with the loss of one major actor (John Cusack in this case), and a trip to the future that spurs multiple trips to the past to fix things. I’m guessing part 3 will be a full-on western, or even the Civil War scenario we see teased here (though I hope that isn’t an ending spoiler).
But what’s with the resurgence of “nerd” as an insult? I have to say, I kinda dig it. I’ve always been happier as an underdog.
