History Repeats.

This is terrible. Just terrible. This trailer wasn't just bad, it was a pain in the fucking ass. It blew, is basically what I'm saying. Not in a way it could be deemed the worst thing ever, but in a way that I have developed a sick hatred for the movie, the play its based on, and all the shit actors in it. Especially the fat guy from the Naked Gun sequel.
He looks like SUCH a kid's actor! And by that I mean, he looks like one of those dumbasses that always gets a role in movies only children could ever stand to endure, like straight to DVD shits or movies themed around dogs. He'd be the villian, or the zany character that helps the tween protagonists. And he'd be cast purely because he looks like a stupid cunt and the casting directors know that kids enjoy looking at ugly people in unflattering situations.

The History Boys is just a remake of a broadway play, ala Chicago. Only this is no musical. At least I dont think it is. It's just the aforementioned fat guy going all Dead Poet's Society on a pack of British geeks. The problem is, the way it's shot and the way the actors present their lines is assumedly overblown to capture the theatrical vibe, and it does that. A little too well. Which is not good.
It's a film. It's cinema, you morons. If I wanted to see The History Boys on stage so badly (which I fucking don't), I'd figure out a way to get to New York, where the play has been playing for an obscene amount of years. Fuck your handheld camera embodiment of the grande stage. I shit on your ambitions. Get fucked.


The History Boys is gonna suck. I bet you anything the critics will agree too. And audiences. If they don't, I'll fully apologise. But that won't happen, because this is just a repeated of a repeat of an already not too original story. And what's more, in this version, you have to put up with the fat spastic in centre stage. Fuck!!!
