Oh dudes, I just saw the trailer for the Fright Night remake, and it's all "brooding" and "fraught" and "menacing" and there are explosions and car chases and I thought it would be cheesy 80's goodness but now I kind of feel like Colin Farrell just cheated on me with the entire Twilight fandom.

I have to go cry now.

Oh gawd, say it isn't so.

Brooding and boring and devoid of homoeroticism. Or eightiesness. And Evil Ed? Whose going to frolic on beds pretending to be somebody's mother in a orange wig and proclaim with such feverish energy; "Dinner is in the oven?"

I know! How did they de-homoeroticise a Colin Farrell movie? He turns men gay just by wandering into their line of sight!

Evil Ed is going to be that kid who plays Red Mist in Kick0-Ass - I fully expect him to be awesome, but then again, I fully expected the whole THING to be awesome and it looks like I was mistaken.

Seriously, wtf is up with all the crossbows/misc fighting gear and stuff? What happened to the poor kid being completely alone in the house, nobody believing him? What happened to polite/reasonable vamp that seduces a critically insecure teen in a alleyway?

I've been robbed.

Evil Ed better not fail me, although it seems he's lost his borderline craziness. He seems all savvy and serious, like a less gruff Edgar Frog with glasses.

Maybe the movie itself is actually awesome, and the trailer has been cut together to try and cash in on the whole... oh you know what, I can't even bring myself to finish that sentence. This utter MESS doesn't deserve me to defend it!

Heh, I was so mad about the trailer last night that when I ranted to my brothers about it, I was like, "For fuck's sake, even Corey Feldman can make a decent vampire flick, how can Colin Farrell be less good than a fucking Corey Feldman movie?!" and they were like, "Gasp! You go too far, sir!"

...I...I'm not sure what to say...

I saw the original movie in the theatre *cough*inthe80s*cough* and it was such a fun, fun movie...I still warble "strangers in the night" (just that phrase, 'cause I don't know the words) and think of Chris Sarandon whistling that tune in this movie.

And I'm with redeyedfeline about the crossbows and other shit - I think I really need to re-watch the original because I really don't remember them being that well-armed... O.O

I could be wrong...

I keep trying to convince myself that it's going to be super-awesome, or at least not totally suck, but the truth is, nased on this trailer, I'm not sure even Colin Farrell can pull this back from the brink of utter retardation.
