Please, Louise, Save Me from the Remake Disease
![Footloose [Paramount]](http://www.woogmoog.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/06/screengrab.jpg "Footloose [Paramount]")
The trailer for the Footloose remake/reimagining is here! Soon (soon!) we can expect remakes of Flashdance and Dirty Dancing to follow! Hopefully we’re on the verge of an 80s dance-movie renaissance! Or at the very least 80s Kevin Bacon movies. So until that Tremors remake comes callin’, sate your Kevin Bacon lust and clicky below the break to watch the glorious (awful-looking) Footloose trailer.

Fall On Your Sword’s “Spanish Ladies” turns Jaws into the love story you’ve always known it to be
The mad geniuses of Fall On Your Sword have done it again.
As they describe it, “Spanish Ladies” is “inspired by Spielberg’s heart breaking tale of a triangular love affair set at sea.” The tangled romance of three men hunting a killer shark far outshines anything the Twilight series could possibly muster. Clicky the embedded video behind the break, and know what it is to feel love. READ MORE!
Fan-Made Expendables Trailer Wants You to Grow a Pair
Most of the time fan-made trailers and posters are utterly worthless. As much as I love the music used in Inception‘s trailers, it’s quickly replacing The Two Towers‘ rendition of Requiem for a Dream‘s main theme as the most annoyingly overused bit of music on the internet. BRRRRRMMMMM and Predator do not mix.
However, this call-to-arms trailer for The Expendables not only blows most other fan-made hokum out of the water, it also puts the film’s own shoddy marketing to shame. Good-bye CG crows and footage-less teasers, hello “get your ass to Mars” admonishing!
Turn yourself into a goddamned sexual Tyrannosaurus when The Expendables hits theaters August 13th.
UPDATE: So apparently the MPAA really does not like it when you use their green bumper things. The trailer has been re-upped here.

Well, my IMAX ticket is sold. Can it be July 16th now, please?
Four Sweet New Inception Banners
IGN has got their mitts on a handful of new banner ads for Christopher Nolan’s upcoming Inception, AKA the only summer movie anyone really cares about at this point.

The posters, while still retaining a touch of that ugly “let’s photoshop together the cast from production stills” look, are pretty damned striking.
Head over to IGN for the rest of the images, in big.
Everyone’s Salivating at Stupid New Mortal Kombat Video
There’s a trailer out there right now that everyone seems to be going gaga for: a new Mortal Kombat game or movie with a “realistic” take on the goofy cast of characters. With folks like Michael Jai White in the trailer (and with E3 being next week) this has got to be for something significant.
“Realistic?” you ask. Reptile’s a dude with a skin problem! Baraka’s a dude with surgical addiction! Click below for video. READ MORE!
Shrek Forever After Box Office Opening Disappoints, DreamWorks Stock Drops
DreamWorks’ stock plunged more than 13% this week after the very 3D and very expensive Shrek 4: Endgame stumbled at the box office this weekend. The weekend totals were just a hair over $70 million, the lowest opening for the franchise since the first Shrek. You know, Shrek, that movie that ended up raking in nearly $500 domestic + foreign. Shrek 4: The Revenge also cost nearly $100 million more than the original. Those numbers are even more galling when you consider the inflated 3D ticket prices and the panic over the possibility of crossing the $20 ticket threshold.
DreamWorks’ earlier animated effort this year, How to Train Your Dragon, managed via word-of-mouth READ MORE!
