As promised, here's that new trailer for Puss in Boots. Here's all you need to know about the first teaser trailer the Shrek spin-off: It starts with an Inception-like montage of words and dissonant horns that ends in a "nine lives" joke. Har! Higher level here, folks! Let's take a look at this warlock.
Following the cat jokes, things shift to more Shrek-y pursuits -- that being pop songs used without a reference point and hack jokes. Here, the pop song is Pitbull's "I Know You Want Me (Calle Ocho)," which would count as an ironic joke if I thought anyone involved in the cutting of this trailer actually knew it was a Pitbull song. While it plays on the soundtrack, the Antonio Banderas-voiced Puss in Boots struts and preens. Sorry, I just can't; if there's one thing you should know about me, it's that I'm not a cat person. Especially one armed with sword and an attitude.
VERDICT: Spay and neuter.
