Did Anyone Else See the Trailer for "Cowboys and Aliens"...

[arbitterm]

...and think it was a trailer for a Fallout movie? The thing on Daniel Craig's arm had Pip-Boy written all over it. I was convinced it was a Fallout movie until the title screen appeared.

I saw the trailer and thought to myself, "A better title would be space cowboy!"

 

[Screamarie]

Yes and I'm sorry but to me it looked awful.

Yes and I'm sorry but to me it looked awful.

i agree, if by "awful" you mean "so awful it's awesome!" i can't wait to see that movie. i just hope it's not another Snakes on a Plane where they manage to hit that sweet spot where it's just plain awful...

In case anybody wants to watch it:

I dunno... I think it looks pretty good. It's a typical Western flick for the first half, and then BWAM! Aliens. Shit gets real.

I'm excited. Should be hilarious... and yet, it looks so serious. Well played, Jon Favreau. Well played.

James bond, cowboys, and aliens? Fuck yes!

James bond, cowboys, and aliens? Fuck yes!

Nothing else could sum it up better.

And Daniel Craig would be the...Pirate of the Wastes! Bow wow!

Sadly yes.
I was in my living room at the time with my family. The trailer came on and after about 5 seconds I started to flip out dribbling at the mouth....then the trailer ended and I was terribly depressed with a weirded out family giving me funny looks.

Except that Space Cowboys is a Clint Eastwood movie about geriatrics who save the world from a Russian Missile Satellite.

Don't forget to add Indiana Jones/Han Solo to that list, Harrison ford's in the movie also!

I KNEW there was another reason why it looked fantastic in a super campy way...

Don't know what to think of it, but it has some of my favorite actors, and Jon Favreu has been on a roll lately as a director

 

[Halceon]

No, not at all. That's because i used my "Obscure pop-culture knowledge" skill and identified it as the movie version of that incredible comic book [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cowboys_%26_Aliens].

I didn't think it was Fallout. I thought it was terrible but decent to others.

I can't take this seriously at all. You might as well put in Clint Eastwood in it and I'll watch it in a heartbeat reconsider but it's far too silly for me.
I can't take it seriously, the usual 'funny' and 'serious' thing doesn't work for me in this.

I'm pretty sure it's going for a rather campy "action sitcom". If it's any indication, Robert Downey Jr. was cast as the star, but pulled out due to obligations to Sherlock Holmes 2. I have a feeling that Cowboys and Aliens will be in the same vein as the Sherlock Holmes movie. It'll live or die on the abilities of the actors to toe the line between "hilarious, good fun" and "absurd".

What a stupid looking movie. LOL
