This is awesome and I've got some extra points, so *promote!

Self promoting this video and sending it back into the queue for one more try; last queued Sunday, June 6th, 2010 6:51pm PDT - promote requested by original submitter Sarzy.

Wow. Michael Cera is actually not bad. Although what's really exciting is that book 6 is coming out July 20th.

*blocked

This video has been flagged as having an embed that is Region Blocked to not function in certain geographical locations - declared blocked by berticus.

Blarg, it's region blocked for me now, too. I should have known, since all MTV clips tend to be blocked. I'll see if I can find a new embed tomorrow.

More Indie music!!!

Super lame block.

Oh goodie. Another I'm-just-a-regular-guy superhero movie based on coloring books. Someone pinch me.

Meh, need reviews before I see it. I did like that Batman sound effects pop-up texts at the end though.

Okay, I replaced the embed so everyone should be able to watch this now.

Shuac: this isn't a superhero movie. And coloring books? Really? Stupidest thing I've heard all week. And I'm on the internet a lot; I hear a lot of stupid things. Congrats...?

His blocks are pretty lame..he should deflect the blows if he can't just avoid them outright, not try to stop them head on.

(I know that's not what you meant)

Yay, unblocked.

Take yourself serious a bit much?

I'm sorry its not a movie about the down trodden person overcoming obstacles and achieving his/her goal
or the close to washed up athlete/musician/politician/cop/fireman/actor/Executive/etc. turning his life around
or the larger than life hero who must quest across 1/2/3 movies to defeat evil and save the universe
or a mystery with a big twist in the middle that suprises you with the person that is trusted most revealed as the villain....and then another twist to make the protagonist a bit more human/gritty/heroic/lovable/not-so-heroic
or a story that is not big and grand but real and full of the art that runs through all of "real" life.
or ....

instead it SEEMS to be a movie that doesn't take itself overly serious (lesson to be learned?) and just tries to have fun with comedy, over the top action scenes, parody of early action shows/comics, and a storyline that is soo outside of reality that you'd think people could put their pretentious expectations for movies aside and just enjoy them-self.

Oh and i hadn't even heard of this movie before i watched this clip, so I'm not exactly a fanboy, but after reading your comment I felt compelled to comment.

This movie looks like it's gonna suck.

Then again, Robin Hood looked like it was going to be awesome...

The comic books are actually pretty good. It's really about friendship, love, loss, and growing up. Brian Lee O'Malley (the comics' creator) has a knack for writing dialogue, and creating well characterized personalities and meaningful relationships. The fights are really a framing device that allows for the relationship between the two main character to evolve. The surreal videogame/superhero inspired sequences help give the series its quirky lighthearted feel.

Of course a 2 min trailer cannot convey the depth that really makes the comics special. I'm actually quite skeptical that Edgar Wright and Michael Cera can do the series justice, but this video is a good sign.

Let me guess, you recently learned about the concept of "taking one's self seriously" and so everything you see, read, or hear is now suddenly an affront to its antithesis?

Yeah, I've been there. For instance, it was a business 101 class in college where I learned about exploitation and how it's perfectly legal. Like Holden Caulfield being so very sick of all the "phonies," I suddenly started noticing all the examples of exploitation. That incredulous feeling goes away after a while.

It's cute, really, to see it as an outsider. So keep on fighting them "serious" people, dirk. The world is counting on you!

Uhh... you do realize that "antithesis" means the opposite of something? So in this case "an affront to its antithesis" would essentially mean "an insult to being lighthearted." Which is clearly not what you meant.

You've now said the first and second most stupid thing I've heard all week! This is fun. I wonder what you'll say next.

....I guess I don't get it.

Don't hit me.

Actually I learned to start taking myself too seriously in Highschool where i thought I knew everything and that I was somehow enlightened. Around that time I latched onto Catcher in the Rye and The Great Gatsby as examples of people who only involved themselves in the "phony" world out of necessity. And i thought of noble causes like fighting against ignorance and bigotry. Righting the wrongs of the world and how much better this planet could be without all the "phonies" and "evil corporations"

And then I grew up and realized that assuming I was somehow special and that the world had black and white labels such as "phonies" and "big bad corporations" was due to immaturity. I also realized that because of some very disheartening truths about humanity and society the best I could hope for in this world is to lead a happy/fulfilling life and to hopefully impact my loved ones and community in a positive way.

So when I see some pretentious idiot who has to tear down something he doesn't like in order to portray him/her self as clever or witty, I will occasionally (i have to let a lot slide on the internet or itd be a full time job!) feel compelled to comment and, in this case, hope that they realize that this movie is for fun and some people will enjoy it. Therefore their dumb comments contributed nothing to the conversation, and at best detracted from other peoples enjoyment of this little clip or the movie as a whole.

Realistically no one gave your comment a 2nd thought except for me and the other person who responded to you. I took the time to write this reply out with hopes that you realize that not everyone who comments or calls you out is attempting to compete for "wittiest" or "coolest" or "most genuine" person and maybe just trying to call out how dumb your comment was.

I'm also hoping that if u just eased up a bit and enjoyed things for what they were and not for what you think they should be (ie every movie HAS to be full of insight and meaning) you would find more enjoyment in the world but more than likely you'll see what I wrote as ignorant or misguided and it doesn't apply to you, but your tune may change at some point. I know I did the same thing when my dad tried to convey these ideas to me back then, as I had that same problem for quite a while

I honestly thought that was what @gwiz665 originally meant and it took me ~10 seconds to understand what your parenthesis sentence meant
