We’re speechless in the best sort of way.
We continue to suggest that this is going to be the best movie ever.

Check out the trailer after the jump!

We don’t know why the story of 17-year-old Bella Swan (Kristen Stewart) moving to a town in Washington, meeting a guy named Edward Cullen (Robert Pattinson) who ends up being a vampire is so insanely popular. It seems like we can’t go anywhere without eventually hearing from a fan of the series, or how the internet traffic and buzz around this one is unusually large.
There were rumors that the first Twilight teaser was going to be attached to Speed Racer, rumors some were ready to attribute to any grond Speed Racer gained for what is tracking as a lackluster opening weekend.
But it looks like the Twilight crew knew their audience and released the first teaser on MySpace.

The teaser, by clicking “Read More…”

In Hancock, Will Smith plays a drunken, surly superhero who hires a PR rep (Jason Bateman) to hone his image for the public.

This is trailer number three that includes a lot of footage from Trailer #2, but nonetheless, very few people are giving Hancock the credit it deserves. Is it just another superhero spoof movie starring Will Smith? Yes.

But break that down. A superhero movie. Starring Will Smith.

Both of those buzz phrases get you millions in the box office. Add in the fact that it is seeing release on July 2nd – the weekend that might as well be called “Will Smith Weekend” – the July 4th weekend.

Throw Hancock into the gap between Indiana Jones and The Crystal Skull and The Dark Knight and Smith will be cleaning up in early July.

What? You’re planning to see the Sex In The City Movie instead? You must be a woman.

Take Hancock seriously. If you think Iron Man’s weekend is shaping up to be big, just remember: no one is saying Iron Man is even going to be in the top 3 box office draws this summer. Those belong to Indy, Batman…and Hancock.

The new trailer for The Incredible Hulk is up at Apple Trailers. You can skip all the clicking and click right over here to go to the Hulk page.

We don’t want to jinx it, so all we’ll say is that this preview looks like someone got a better grip on the movie. Maybe the fight the producers had with Ed Norton ended with the producers trying to trick everyone into the theater with this new, action-packed trailer.

Or maybe the film was always action packed and the Hulk team need to take a few weeks and get their render on.

Either way, the trailer is much improved over the teaser, though it’s hard to say if the movie is much improved compared to our expectations. We’re lowering our expectations as much as possible, so maybe we’ll just get our ass blasted out by mediocrity.

That’s certainly what made Old School so enjoyable.

Check out the new trailer for Swing Vote, the newest attempt by Kevin Costner to grab the national zeitgeist and turn it in a new direction regardless of its interest in any given subject matter.

You might remember: this man is the reason we care about baseball, global warming and the importance of post after the apocalypse.

If our Presidential choices were Dennis Hopper and Kelsey Grammer, we might take our time being courted too.

The thing about this preview is it set out thematically what the film needs to do: we need to care about this loser, then watch him rise to speak for the people as the politicians around him start to realize: “fuck, we’re just politicians now, not reformers, not legislators, just politicians.”

This sounds familiar to any Democrat, I would think.

The bad and ugly: no one in this cast is necessarily batting 1.000 with successful films recently, so though this is the time to bring up these issues in a tastefully done film, this film might miss the mark.

And then we’ll just forget about it, interesting plot or not.

A new trailer for Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull is going to be included with Iron Man’s 8PM release tomorrow, but it happened to leak online in a pretty good way - as in, you could hear, see and understand things.

But, of course, Paramount would rather you not see the trailer online, and would rather we not sneakily link to it like we did with the Dark Knight trailer download yesterday.

But wouldn’t it be great if it hadn’t been pulled from somewhere yet?

Check out this fan-made trailer and click around the related videos. That’s all we’re saying.

That ultra-cool Dark Knight poster we got sent last night actually came from a new Dark Knight viral site at http://whysoserious.com/itsallpartoftheplan/.

All you get is the above image with a countdown piece of paper at the bottom. When we took the poster off the site (still accessible by clicking the playing card stabbed into the wall), the scrap of paper said “4 Days.”

We can say with 90% certainty that the above website is where we are going to see the next Dark Knight Trailer, and it better be in three fucking days.

Too long have we been playing along with your silly online games, Joker, give us a damn trailer.

There’s something about Will Smith movies. Something that no one can explain. In the below preview, when Jason Bateman tell Will Smith’s superhero character: “People don’t like you Hancock,” he is not talking about Will Smith, but a fictional character. People love Will Smith.

I Am Legend did pretty well despite not being the most watchable of Will Smith movies. Hitch did okay, for god sakes and that wasn’t even a good Will Smith movie (Dave would like to apologize to his mother for trash-talking Hitch).

Although the movie is called Hancock, and it seems like all Jason Bateman’s lawyer character does is call Hancock by his name so we don’t forget what the title of the movie is or what endless iteration of Will Smith character we are supposed to be falling in love with.

The thing about this trailer is that it didn’t have to be as good as it is. We’re not saying that Hancock is the be-all-end-all in trailer land, but it won us over by using a lot of hand-held close-ups, broad daylight action pieces and what can only be Hancock sticking an inmates head up his own ass.

All this trailer needed to do was include two scenes: Will Smith picking up the kid and flying into the atmosphere, and Will Smith being polite to the cop, asking if he can touch her in a non-sexual way.

That’s all you need to sell Will Smith movies: Will Smith.

This one went slightly beyond, which means it’s probably going to make an ass-load of money (more money than one can fit in their ass).

This film is one of the many reasons we felt bad about not doing the festival rounds this season. Just the title: Young People Fucking, that’s enough for us to see it right there.

Plus, a series of awkward vignettes about sex makes the one time we fornicate a year much less awkward.

The film follows 4 couples (and one threesome!) through one sexual encounter, all of which look like they can produce hilarity, even if it’s the “I can’t believe this made Toronto” hilarity.

ThinkFilm is going to distribute the flick in the US, just can’t figure out when we get to legitimate watch Young People Fucking. Until then, back to the binoculars and our neighbor’s poor clothing habits and his nudist girlfriend.

Ok, it’s time for two fairly new trailers, only one of which is recommended by the B&U staff. Being that only one of them features new Bond girl Gemma Arterton, while the other is going to be stereotypically bad, try to guess which is which!

If you’re a fan of animated humor, you should be a fan of The Venture Bros, the Christopher McCulloch-created series that is a gigantic spoof on adventure cartoons like Johnny Quest.

Because of the arduous animation process that makes the series look absolutely beautiful, the seasons have been well spaced out, but getting better with each episode.

By that logic, the 3rd season is going to live up to it’s promise of letting us get to at least 3rd base on our first date.

Check out this pirated footage of the 5-minute preview that screened this weekend at NY Comic Con!

MMMM, that’s good cartooning!

Natalie Portman has been out and about in the West Village here in New York, going on long surely-romantic strolls with bearded Venezuelan-born folk singer Devendra Banhart.

Devendra and Nat were out walking a dog, when Natalie bent down to do her NY-mandated poop-removal doodie and was pee’d on by another dog (who really hated The Phantom Menace, says sources).

In case you are still reading, yes, we know The X-Files trailer has leaked again, but every time we post it we get in trouble.

And we don’t want any trouble.
