A Million Ways To Die In The West

Red Band (R-Rated) trailer now out:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QgQzWrrpRb4

Seth MacFarlane, Charlize Theron, Liam Neeson, Giovanni Ribisi ...Sarah Silverman? Oh, and they aren't kidding about the R-rating, by the way, starting with the guy that gets iced. :eek:

Otacon

Some people may not like his comedy but I laughed throughout that trailer. Hopefully, the movie is similar.

MfMan

Early alarm bells ringing with the mention of Giovani Ribisi....

I don't know, Ted was pretty damn poor and that looks like the same gag repeated over and over. It seems to be Final Destination with added jokes

Mr E

... and Charlize.

Is it just me or is Seth channelling a bit of Mike Myers in that trailer? (the actor, not halloween boogeyman).

bnt

He reminds me of Charlie Brown from the Peanuts comic strip. He's so clean-cut in appearance that it makes his on-screen obscenities all the more shocking. I have no problem with low-brow humour, and if this is done right, it will evoke memories of The Quick and the Dead or Blazing Saddles. The latter is now considered a classic, but it wasn't always the case.

Corholio

Awfully constructed trailer, half the gags were McFarlane reacting to something that happens. I think most of the entertainment in these kind of films is seeing 'big' actors being involved in low brow humour like this. No problem with low brow but this looks poor enough.

pixelburp

I dunno, maybe this is why Seth McFarlane should stay in the recording booth; his demeanour and constant mugging to the camera got really annoying even in that short trailer. Also seems like a pretty shallow 1-joke film, not sure 90 minutes of CGI blood is that attractive.

Good to hear Liam Neeson use his natural accent for a change though; heard his nordie accent using in the Lego movie too, so nice that he's not his attempting his usual strangled US accent

For seeing the trailer it might have been better with a different lead than Seth himself

I love Charlize Theron, I think she's amazing, I don't understand some of the choices she makes....

Seth and Alan Jackson have recorded a song for the film (similar to the song from Blazing Saddles) http://music-mix.ew.com/2014/04/28/seth-macfarlane-alan-jackson-a-million-ways-to-die-song/

I think it looks awful :P
Charlize Theron chose this film instead of PTA's Inherent Vice :pac:

BearBanjer

Damn! Charlize looking fine. Pity about the film - looks dreadful.

I saw the trailer the other night in the cinema and thought it looked hilarious. That said, more then likely that was the full quota of laughs, which is what happened with Ted. Have to agree on the opinions of Charlize Theron. Very easy on the eye. As is Sarah Silverman I might add

TICKLE_ME_ELMO

I'm beginning to wonder if Charlize Theron is actually a good actress or if she just puts herself in really awful films and looks great in comparison to what's on show around her? She makes some shocking bad choices. I guess she's got bills to pay.

TheDoc

Looks excellent, comedy is so opinionated, but I love all his work so looking forward to this!

bnt

I wonder whether the distributors have seen this thread? I'm seeing ads everywhere, including a whole LUAS tram, so it's getting quite the promotional push. I wonder if there is going to be a premiere, and if so, can I have a ticket? I think I deserve some promotional consideration for starting this thread ,,,

OhHiMark

Seth McFarlane only knows how to write Family Guy, and then he puts it in different settings. And that joke got old a very long time ago.

That_Guy

I've seen this trailer a good 10 times in the cinema at least. I feel obliged to go and see this now. Hoping all the laughs haven't been used up in the trailer though I fear they might be.

AnonoBoy

Got bored with Family Guy years ago.

Went to see Ted not expecting much and was pleasantly surprised at how much I enjoyed it.

Big dumb crude laughs - Marky Mark has a knack for comedy I think.

There's something about the trailer that makes me suspect this won't be that great but I'll give MacFarlane the benefit of the doubt.

poundapunnet

I quite enjoyed Ted and I'd be inclined to give this a chance. He's got a crude, self-indulgent, and very hit-or-miss style of comedy but goddammit if Seth Mc Farlane hasn't made me genuinely laugh out loud more times than I care to admit.

Looks a good laugh, Liam Neeson looks to be in part Taken part Lego Bad Cop mode in this, looking forward to seeing Neil Patrick Harris too.

Actually, films like this are usually better watched in the cinema so it benefits from the large crowd effect. Other people laughing at things make them seem funnier than they are when you're watching on your own.

Does promotion = hype these days? I haven't come across any hype personally.

This looks shockingly bad, McFarlane has a head you would just love to punch

McFarlane should stick to animation, this looks brutal!

TICKLE_ME_ELMO

He's a one trick pony. His "comedy" is big, loud and crude. Which is fine, if you like that kind of thing, but after God knows how many years of Family Guy, American Dad, Cleveland etc. etc. how are people not sick of it by now?

JP Liz V1

Seth wanted Paul Rudd for the lead instead of himself apparently

lertsnim

A review on BBC News earlier panned it.

James King on Kermode and Mayo show who's a big Seth fan was disappointed with it.

Greenmachine

Was pretty disappointed with this. I enjoyed ted, and I love family guy. The movie was a let down. There was a few in the cinema laughing at every one liner even the bad ones.

ancapailldorcha

I saw it last night and thoroughly enjoyed it. Most of the audience did as well.

Burky126

Judging by people's reactions to the jokes they should of called it "A Million Ways to kill a comedy."

Avoiding this one.

Just stay at home and watch Blazing Saddles again.

thought it was so-so, can see why Seth Macfarlane did a ton of promotion for this. If it's true that Charlize Theron turned down a part in Paul Thomas Anderson Inherent Vice for this, she should look at herself in the mirror. Amanda Seyfried career is really on the wane if she's taking a nothing role like this. Neil Patrick Harris, Giovanni Ribisi and Sarah Silverman (kind wished the film was based around their characters) did a great job but were sadly under used. Seth Macfarlane isn't a leading man, he's the sidekick to the leading man, but he's not bad at all in this. Liam Neeson must have got a great paycheck for this as it's a nothing role.

Saying that you have some funny moments

Christopher Lloyd as Dr Brown from Back to the Future was worth the price of admission alone, Jamie Foxx as Django was a nice touch too, I thought the way liam neeson died was funny and the Indian scene was great

Yeah agree, went to see it yesterday, one guy was laughing at everything (even when there is no joke at the time ). It got so bad that i think people are laughing at him instead.

As for the movie, it has some of its moment but overall, i just went to see charlize theron

Penn

It had some good moments, but relied too much on needlessly crude bits, and running some jokes into the ground. Typical Family Guy humour where they point out a flaw in something (like Charlize Theron's dress at the dance) and just over-explain the flaws for far too long

Personally hate Sarah Silverman. I tolerated her in this, like I tolerated the rest of the movie. It she came on the tv, she would be off in a flash.

She was one of the better things in the film but I agree overall with what you say.

She's not really my cup of tea, anytime she does talk shows or game shows over in the UK, her jokes fall flat on their asses. she's one of those American comedians that doesn't travel well outside the U.S, she's a very American comedian and her kind of female humour has been done far better by U.K Female Comedians back in the 90's.

Her entire routine seems to be "I have a vagina and swear", she's not funny at all.

Getting pretty bad review online. I thought Ted was ok...this looks ****e though.
