Watch the First 10 Minutes of 'Walk Hard' Online!
Filed under: Comedy, Music & Musicals, New Releases, Exhibition, Home Entertainment, NSFW, Movie Marketing
The Judd Apatow gang always markets the crap out of their movies, and the promotional blitz is in full force for their latest, Walk Hard. Posters are everywhere, they released the "R" Rated international trailer to the internets, they took out a very cool "For Your Consideration" ad in The Hollywood Reporter, and John C. Reilly is rocking the country on the "Cox Across America" tour, which I was lucky enough to check out this week. And now you can watch the first ten minutes of the film online! Head over to http://rocklikecox.com/myspace/ to enjoy. If you figure it costs ten bucks to see a movie, and the movie is 100 minutes -- this is one dollar's worth of entertainment for free! You have to verify your age to see the clip -- the film is Rated "R" after all, but this ten minutes is strictly "PG." Sorry, folks. (By the way, has anyone under the age of 18 ever been dissuaded by an age verification? You can enter any birthdate you want! It's not like they're asking for a thumb print or something! Fools! Let's move on.) The clip mainly focuses on Dewey as a boy, played by Conner Rayburn, and it builds to a 14 year-old Dewey's declaration "Just wait 'till you see what happens now." I must say, I only laughed out loud once during the clip -- the line "How are we gonna follow that?" got to me -- but I have a feeling this is going to be a very funny movie. I'm checking it out Wednesday night, and I'm muy excitedo. How about you guys, thoughts on the opening scenes?

I just can't wrap my head around a biopic parody. It seems weird to me. Nothing about Walk the Line really stands out as parody material to me, I guess. I don't quite "get" Walk Hard. It looks like it might be funny, though.
And I agree that age verification is ridiculous. I've been bypassing those things since I was twelve.

I absolutely loved it! The free ten minute clip I mean. That way not only do I save $10 from seeing this piece of crap, I'll save $4 by not renting it. Jeez what a stinker.
