A Tale of Two Three Some Wolfmen
Above is the new trailer for The Wolfman starring Benicio del Toro. Although this trailer is better than the last one, I’m still not sure that I can maintain interest in a movie that only has one wolfman in it. I think I need more, or a vampire or a gill-man, or something, you know? I hate to knock would appears to be a good movie, but it’s 2009, man. We’re a multiple wolfman society now.
Now, this new clip from Twilight Saga New Moon does technically have multiple werewolves in it, but they’re less werewolves than school bus-sized wolves WHOSE PANTS EXPLODE FROM THEIR BODIES WHEN THEY TRANSFORM. This would make me far happier if I hadn’t had to hear the excruciating Twilight dialogue and see all those shirtless teenaged boys first.
Last and certainly least is Werewolf, one of the most awesomely bad movies Mystery Science Theater 3000 had the misfortune to watch. Given that none of the leads speak English as a first language and cannot even pronounce the world “werewolf” correctly, I contend that it is the greatest werewolf movie of all time. Thank you and good night.
