We went on a Big Lebowski bender in the "PYF Subtle Movie Moments" thread and holy gently caress there were a lot of subtle moments in that film. It's actual kind of insane how much stuff the Coens packed into it. I'd love more Lebowski stuff (and John Turturro has been begging them to revisit his Jesus character for decades) but on the other hand if it's not working off a razor sharp script that Joel and Ethan have been honing for years then ...  Edit: but then again, Netflix have been throwing money at them recently .... clown shoes posted:The Dude in a Super Bowl commercial is the ultimate sell out. You don't have a frame of reference, you're out of your element. Shut the gently caress up, Clowny! Snowglobe of Doom fucked around with this message at 20:19 on Jan 24, 2019 |

Big Lebowski's one of my favorite movies of all time, so seeing that teaser instantly got me excited, although yeah, it's probably just gonna be some dumb Super Bowl ad and nothing more.

I love Bridges & I love the Coens but I have no desire for a sequel or whatever it is. Make something new, not everything has to be a franchise, etc

The Big Lebowski does not really need a sequel, but even if it's only like 50% Coen Bros effort it will still be better than 99% of all the other horrible trash that gets released in cinemas across our great nation.

I don't think it's trying to paint him in that light, I think that was the tone he gave off himself in real life and they are framing around that rather than yet another grim/grisly/HLN serial killer tell-all.

Keep in mind that Joe Berlinger, who is 1/2 of the directors behind the Paradise Lost films, also directed this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n1UJgrNRcvI I would argue he has earned some benefit of the doubt.

I agree with you guys who are saying they're going for the "Ted Bundy was a charmer" route. I just don't think the trailer is particularly successful. I think the biggest problem is that the music is terrible. It sounds like the soundtrack that should play during a movie about a zany heist.

If you aren’t familiar with the script, it’s written from the perspective of his girlfriend to the point where the script has a “gimmick” of not revealing who her boyfriend really is until the end. It’s basically the story of a woman whose wonderful, handsome, kind significant other is accused of these terrible things and he’s willing to do whatever it takes to clear his name while she has to grapple with whether or not he did them. But then actually it’s Ted Buddy so he hella did those things because he is a psychopath. Obviously, if you want to market the movie as “Zac Efron Is Ted Bundy”, that doesn’t fly, so they’re taking the basics of that (primarily focusing on his relationship/repeated attempts to talk his way out of punishment) but not even pretending to keep it secret. But Bundy, especially in this script, is a really charming guy and the movie is gonna try to convince you (through his girlfriend) that there’s no way he did it and it’s all a huge misunderstanding (and then pulling the rug out from under you when it goes into the brutal detail of how he did it) I trust the dude who helped make Paradise Lost to know how to frame the media in the midst of a flashy serial killer trial, and that’s going to be a big part of it. I should really read that script again, it’s a great read and now I’m kinda curious if I can spot how much of it is still in there. edit: honestly they probably could have cut a trailer about a man held for a crime he repeatedly swears he didn’t do and the stress it puts on his family which would be closer to the actual content of the film but then you don’t make any money because people are almost just looking at a Lifetime movie with a flashy cast. Just cut the little shots of him actually committing violence and add a shot of him talking to the police explaining all of the incredibly incriminating things in his car. But again, then you don’t get to put the words that are gonna bring all the people out to actually see it: “serial killer” and “Ted Bundy” DC Murderverse fucked around with this message at 02:14 on Jan 26, 2019 |

I didn't particularly care for the music choice and the editing for the text. I liked what it showed of the actual movie though. I've always been a fan of Zac Efron for some reason I don't fully comprehend, so I've been looking forward to this one.

He’s got just enough self awareness that he doesn’t take himself remotely seriously, so there’s a certain charm to it. I guess he’s like Channing Tatum with even less range?

He has the same problem as Robert Pattinson and Daniel Radcliffe, where every role they take is always announced (implicitly or explicitly) as “look what the hot boy from High School Musical/Twilight/Harry Potter is doing now!!” Efron has not done quite as much to move away from HSM as the other two have to move away from his starmaking vehicle but at this point I relate him much more to the Apatovian comedy crowd as I do to Disney. Actually some career analyses taking a look at the key pairs of stars from each of those projects (who are all aimed at roughly the same group of people, age wise) would be interesting. Efron/Hudgins, Pattinson/Stewart and Radcliffe/Watson (my apologies to Rupert Grint) have all done things that tried to drastically change their image to varying levels of success.
