Ashton Attached

The long-time tradition of using Ashton Kutcher nudity as an incentive to see one of his films - and inevitably blowing their wad by showing it all off before the movie comes out thereby giving us no earthly reason to see an Ashton Kutcher movie - continues with No Strings Attached and this here red-band trailer for it. They even use his bared lower back as a visual to wipe from one shot to another!

And here are some of the (unfortunately lo-fi;
no HD of this, I don't think) caps of what counts:


As for what I said up top about this trailer blowing the wad early and me never seeing this movie? I can't actually guarantee that this time, since I've always been pro-Natalie Portman but I'm really very pro-Natalie Portman in these heady Black Swan times, and then you go adding The Great Gerwig to the mix and I can't be held accountable for my actions which may run up to and include buying a ticket for this movie on opening weekend or thereabouts. I'm only human.

If the movie were comprised of nothing but scenes of Natalie Portman saying "you look like a pumpkin, bitch!", only then would i pay full price for this. but seriously, this red-band trailer is much better than the green-band. i'm still weary about it, but this is sort of an improvement.

You forgot to mention Mindy Kaling from The Office! She's hilarious! That "single as f@#k" line killed me. I was skeptical with the first trailer (what is it with Oscar nominated actresses jumping into low-brow comedy/fantasy flicks after star-making turns? *cough* Halle Berry *cough*)

I think what will make this movie worth seeing is not Portman, not Gerwig, not Kaling (certainly not Kutcher), but the sum total of its parts. (And, no, that was not an allusion to Ashton & Nat's naughty bits.)

All that, plus Mindy Kaling means, yes, I will be seeing this. What of it??

Are you crazy? The first closeup in the green-band trailer is enough for me to plunk down my $13.00! That Kutcher is just a lovely man! And now that I know I get to see his butt! I mean, come on - this is what trash cinema is about. And he is charming and I love his "miniature" "fight like a chipmunk" line. Are you kidding me? I will be there - probably the first weekend. (I am so pathetically hardup.) :-(

I believe he's a "Ken doll" and that is why Bruce hasn't killed him.

I'm same with you on NP. Every time I saw her in a movie I just felt like "ugh, it's Natalie Portman." I couldn't put the role past her. She was one of those child stars that was overhyped really, really early, then did a slew of really bad-to-average crap. It wasn't until the Black Swan when I was like "This is what I was waiting for." I still don't think she's that good (or at least she's not very versatile) but I think she was really good at playing a shy, over-achieving and reserved ballerina who loses it.
