I still haven’t gotten over NOT getting in to see MACGRUBER at South by Southwest this year – sore point! Plus it hurts even more to hear that the movie brought the house down. I’ve heard nothing but good things so far. With Val Kilmer as the baddie, and Jorma Taccone directing, this is definitely on my radar for summer movies. Check out the new theatrical poster above, and the new red band trailer below, and tell us what you think.

DUDE –
I hate the “idea” of this BUT after seeing the trailer and discovering this is the directorial debut of the guy that created “Jizz In My Pants” and “Dick in a Box” and played Chaka in Land of The Lost – I might camp out for tickets! Joking, it does look very funny. Personally, until your review comes out, I plan to rent based on Val Kilmer and the writing. It would be cool if BFB could grad Richard Dean Anderson and get his views on this.
