The Punisher War Zone Trailer Is…Uh…Present
I forgot that two new Punisher: War Zone TV spots had appeared over the past few days, and if you watch this one, I think you’ll probably see why. I’m actually a fan of the restricted, chock full o’ violence trailer from a few months ago, and was actually looking forward to the movie, but it’s hard to watch the sanitized commercial and see the appeal. Since most nerds have written the movie off anyways, I guess there’s no harm being done.
