Check Out Some Red-Banded Fun From 'The Ugly Truth'

Filed under: Comedy », Romance », Sony », Fandom », Newsstand », NSFW », Movie Marketing », Trailers and Clips »




First off, I should be fair and post a classy publicity still that's fair to Katherine Heigl, but I feel the girls need something to balance out this week's Megan Fox overload. So, here's a solo Gerard Butler. Pretend he's holding that heart out while saying "I could never love Optimus Prime or Megan Fox as much as I love you." (Not that I'm implying Transformers is just for the boys. I'd never do that. If you like, you can reverse it to have him begging for you to love him more than Shia LaBeouf and Optimus.)

If you want to hold onto that lovey-dovey image, you might not want to watch this Red-Band clip from The Ugly Truth. But if you're feeling in the mood for some raunchy, naughty talk from Butler (be sure to listen for a slip of that Scottish accent), then go right ahead and click. In this very NSFW clip, Butler's boorish Mike offers Heigl's highstrung Abby some helpful tips on how to really attract and please a man. Surprise! It's all cosmetic, ranging from short skirts to push up bras, and just what she can do with her ponytail. Could all this R-rated dialogue mean The Ugly Truth is destined to be July's Hangover? Or will the romance drive away the ones looking for raunch?

As I wait for your comments (please come back to post one after you watch the clip) I'm off to go hate on myself because I fail all of The Ugly Truth rules. I live in jeans and a ponytail ... oh, who am I kidding. I've gone beyond Heigl's "comfort and efficiency" into fashion evocative of Jeff Bridges in The Big Lebowski. Butler will never love me. I might as well die.

'Good Luck Chuck' Trailer -- The Unrated Version

Filed under: Comedy », Fandom », Trailer Trash », Movie Marketing »

So lately, a lot of these R-rated comedies have been sneaking in red band trailers to accompany your run-of-the-mill "no nudity or foul language included within" trailers. I'm not exactly sure where they come from, but they're available to watch online and contain some of the more raunchier content for whichever film is being advertised. Today, I have for you the red band trailer for Good Luck Chuck -- the latest Dane Cook flick, starring Jessica Alba. I should warn you that this trailer is rated R, so those of you allergic to foul language and/or sexual content should probably stay away.

In the film (which includes what is perhaps the perfect role for a young, hot, horny actor), Cook plays a guy who's cursed. See, every time he sleeps with a girl, she goes on to marry the next guy she happens to date. Once word gets around, Cook's character is bombarded by marriage-hungry women looking to use his private area as a magic wand (so to speak). Problems arise when he meets Alba; the perfect catch, and a girl he can see himself settling down with. But in order to not lose her to the curse, he goes above and beyond the call of duty ... and we get a pretty nasty taste of that in this brand new trailer. Those of you looking for something a bit tamer can find it in this newly-released clip over at Moviefone. In it, Cook and Alba (as their respective characters) meet for the first time at the wedding of a girl Cook used to date. Some cutesy dialogue paves the way for a physical set piece that has Alba using a towel to wipe hot wax off Cook's crotch area. Man, what I'd give to be his stunt double for that scene. Good Luck Chuck hits theaters on September 21.
