So, there's a movie called Rubber that's apparently coming out. Here's the trailer:
Rubber - Movie Trailers - iTunes

Now that you've seen that, here's the official synopsis.

Quote:

RUBBER is the story of Robert, an inanimate tire that has been abandoned in the desert, and suddenly and inexplicably comes to life. As Robert roams the bleak landscape, he discovers that he possesses telepathic powers that give him the ability to destroy anything he wishes without having to move. At first content to wreak havoc on small desert creatures and various lost items, his attention soon turns to humans, resulting in the most gory vehicular-related mayhem inflicted on screen by an "inanimate" object since Christine.

This film looks fairly funny, but mostly just insane. I'm looking forward to it.

You know what? I read the synopsis before clicking the link.

At first, I thought: Holy fuck, Will, are you out of your vulcanized mind?!

I mean, it sounds dumb. So of course I had to click the link. The release date is April 1. I think it's a joke maybe.

...

Then I saw the trailer.

It looks fucking awesome.

Wondering what you guys thought of it, if you've seen it yet. It's on PPV (through cable anyway) and we saw the preview last night. Of course, while I was at work, my daughters found it online and watched it. They thought it was a riot. Although it seems original and absurdist, I'm curious, but not necessarily curious enough to sit through it.

The introduction to the movie was nothing short of comedic brilliance, imho. Parts of the movie drag a bit, and some of it is so out there that you feel uncomfortable laughing at it, but all-in-all it's a funny and surprisingly original movie. I think it'd make for a decent rental, particularly if you're using a controlled substance.
