Executive-Shaming New Trailer for “District 9″ Sure to Make Your Willy Wobble

First, watch this, the full trailer for director Neill Blomkamp’s District 9:
Then, amuse yourself by thinking about the various studio executives who are – probably right at this very moment — weeping in bathrooms, hoping nobody will walk in and catch them shedding tear over having scuttled Blomkamp’s Halo movie for fear that the director was an unproven quantity.
Well, if that trailer is any standard of measure, it looks like producer Peter Jackson was right all along (big surprise): Blomkamp was, in fact, the dude that project needed.
Speaking of trailers to make your willy wobble, here’s one for Jennifer’s Body, the Diablo Cody-penned, Karyn Kusama-directed, Megan Fox-starring horror flick coming out this September.
That’s the one showing in theatres. There’s also a red-band trailer, which is completely different. I couldn’t find an embeddable copy, but you can watch it here.
Now, I have to admit, I was prepared to give this movie a big ole’ cold shoulder. I was mostly unimpressed by Juno, Kusama’s Aeon Flux was a piece a crap, and I’m such a vehement Transformers hater that I can’t even manage to find Megan Fox all that hot. Imagine, then, my surprise to think the trailers for this are pretty damn awesome.
Some of this may have to do with the presence of Amanda Seyfried, who can do no wrong, and doesn’t appear to have done any here, either. And surprise, surprise, Megan Fox looks like she might have a bit more than simply Being Hot in her playbook; you can never really tell from a trailer, of course, but at least this movie has given her something to, uh, sink her teeth into.
Anyways, color me interested.
