Kevin Smith's "Cop Out" Trailer

[Silent Brad]

Looks pretty decent to me.This is the first time Kevin is directing somebody else's writing, so It'll be interesting to see how he handles it.

Seems pretty average and humorless. The casting looks OK.

I can't believe Seann William Scott still has a career. f***. I thought his days were over once American Pie finished.

I love Kevin Smith (see username) but as the years go by, my interest wanes in his new projects. I really wish he would go a different direction with his career -- more towards indie comedies with sharp characterization. I don't mean straight back to the Jersey Trilogy, but maybe something that plays on his strengths more. Zack & Miri was good, it just needed to feel edgier.

Shame to see he lost the "A Couple of Dicks" title, though.

I guess you can thank the movie Role Models for giving his career a shot in the arm.

It looks okay. Maybe funnier if I saw the whole film.

[I Like Your Poetry]

Looks like a second rate blend of Die Hard and 30 Rock.

And hell, I'm a Kevin Smith fan.

That looks really unfunny. I have no clue why. Maybe it's because I can't stand Tracy Morgan.

The trailer was disappointing and I hate how it is no longer called A Couple of Dicks. I'm also wondering if this will be PG-13 because that'll be the second time Kevin Smith did a PG-13 movie.

It doesn't look like the worse but it sure isn't Rush Hour either.(not the 3rd one. That one sucked)

Smith said it was R-rated when he explained why they changed the title from "A Couple of Dicks"

Warner Bros. decided, "Hey man, we'll call the networks and see if we're going to get any problems, months before the movie's ever going to come out." The top 3 networks — CBS, ABC, NBC — said we can't run one of your spots before 9 o'clock.

I'm like, "Well what about Inglourious Basterds?" And I guess, because of the spelling, they got away with it. So we were like, "Can we call it A Couple of D.I.C.s?" Because that's the proper acronym for detectives, Detective In Charge. And [the networks] kicked that back as well. It was the pluralizing of any form of dick, whether it was d-i-c-k or any derivation.

So my feeling was like, it's an R-rated movie, so who the f*** are we talking to anyway before 9 o'clock? Warner Bros's feeling was like, "Hey man, the sports audience, dickhead. We have to advertise to the sports audience on Saturday and Sunday and all those sporting events usually take place before 9 p.m. in the evening." At which point, I was like, "Oh wow, you guys are way smarter than me."

That being said, maybe we'll get a red band that's actually funny. Lots of R-rated movies exceed expectations once you actually see the movie.
