Paranormal Activity 2 Trailer So Scary It’s Pulled From Theaters (Related: Pigs Fly)

And you didn’t think there was a sucker born every minute. Variety — Variety! — is reporting that theater chain Cinemark had to pull copies of the admittedly scary Paranormal Activity 2 trailer from its theaters in Texas because of audience complaints that it was “too scary.” Upon hearing the news, Paramount executives presumably feigned surprise and then remembered that it was all part of their elaborate marketing campaign. See you at the theater! [ Variety ]

On DVD: John Cusack Gets Menopausal in Hot Tub Time Machine

Not hard to love: When stick-dumb movies just lay out their idiotic premise right in the title — call it the Snakes on a Plane Syndrome — hiding nothing, leaving no recourse for shame or cross-marketing vagueness or anything else, really, that might mess with the movie’s ability to rise or fall on its dubious merits as all movies should. (It could be a Google translation tool.) Steve Pink’s piquant comedy Hot Tub Time Machine is all the title promises and a splash of urine and exactly nothing much more, which is why it’s funny, and why lowered expectations should be a vital area of sociopsychological study for Hollywood publicists. Imagine the manure we wouldn’t have to wade through.

Childrens’ Hospital: Adult Swim’s Welcome Dip in the Shallow End

Adult Swim’s upcoming series Childrens’ Hospital is so cross-eyed and delirious that you can’t help but surrender to its premise: a Grey’s Anatomy knockoff full of sex, confrontation, and sick children. Nearly two months ahead of its July premiere, the network is leaking full — albeit brief — episodes of producer Rob Corddry’s series, which co-stars Malin Akerman, Lake Bell, a few Party Down favorites (and Megan Mullally ), Henry Winkler, and Corddry himself. It’s based on a Webby-winning WB web serial from 2008, but the crux of Childrens’ Hospital ‘s success is the gusto of this particular cast. Enjoy the brain-damaged proceedings after the jump.
