How Movie Trailers Would Go If They Were Completely Honest
By Marcy Kennedy (@MarcyKennedy)
My husband sent me a link to a YouTube channel called Screen Junkies. Once that sucked up at least 30 minutes of my life, I knew I had to share it with all of you. This channel takes big name movies and spoofs on them to create a video of how a trailer for the movie would look if the creators were being “honest.” I don’t agree with everything they pick fun at, but many of them made me laugh out loud.
Here’s a sample of my favorites.
The first one is for Thor.
Here’s Gravity.
Not to be left off the list is Man of Steel.
And Iron Man 3.
And no list would be complete without Independence Day.
Okay, I need to walk away before this channel eats me alive again. I could pretty much link the whole channel.
What did you think? Are these awesome or what?
If you like suspense, I hope you’ll take a look at my ebook Frozen. Twisted sleepwalking. A frozen goldfish in a plastic bag. And a woman afraid she’s losing her grip on reality.

Oh, no. You’ve corrupted me!! Those are pretty good. I don’t care what he says, Independence Day is still one of the best summer blockbuster movies out there and I will watch it every time it’s on TV. 🙂

I’ll always love Independence Day too, no matter what anyone says. But that trailer is hilarious 🙂

Thanks for sharing these! I only discovered then last week when someone sent me the Game of Thrones one. It’s priceless.

These are a hoot. I’ve only been brave enough to watch the ones for movies I didn’t like, but they are right on target and funny in their commentary. Thanks for sharing. I just have to watch my intake or I might OD. 🙂
