Can We Talk About How Terrible Cop Out Looks For a Second?
· The trailer for Cop Out preceded my weekend showing of Sherlock Holmes, and even the mouthbreathers at The Grove couldn't muster a couple neanderlaughs for that thing. This is what we've been waiting for? "Cop Out?" Wasn't that a 30 Rock punchline? I'm almost positive it was. There is no genre-subversion going on here. There is only genre. Terrible, terrible genre.

There was actual laughter coming from some of the people in the theatre during this trailer. Don't worry, there's an ice storm in the forecast for tomorrow for Austin, Darwin will eliminate these misfits from the gene pool in due time.
But it has a Harold Faltermeyer score! THat means it's gonna be awesome!
Is this 48 Hours 3?
I think it's 48 Hours Minus 3.
seemed pretty clear to me that Cop Out is the Scream of police movies. if one misses that, then the jokes aren't quite as funny. but if you get that context, there's wit in some bits
This girl is really a dirty bitch, she got what's she deserves
