Joe Dante, who directed such classics like Gremlins, Piranha and The Howling has created the brilliant site
Trailers From Hell. On this site other brilliant directors and writers like Stuart Gordon, Edgar Wright and Eli Roth do audio commentary on their favorite trailers from year’s past! It is really cool to listen how that movie inspired them or little tidbits about the movie. Like for example in the above video Eli Roth talks how the ’80s classic movie Rock ‘N’ Roll High School was almost Disco High School. Could you imagine that movie with the likes of the Bee Gees being the same and becoming the cult classic it became? Maybe with The Village People, but most Disco acts would not have anywhere near the impact that movie made just because The Ramones were in it!!! But it is little things like that that make the site reall y cool! Some of the over 200 trailers on the site with interesting and fun wireters’ and directors’ commentary are Taxi Driver, Hollywood Blvd, The Blob, Rosemary’s Baby and Day of the Dead!
So if you are bored and want something different to do, then check out Trailers From Hell that updates all the time! I know that is how I am wasting my time!
