Movie Notes: The Naked Gun (2025)
I take notes when I watch movies and after the movies, I post those notes on the internet. These are my notes for The Naked Gun (2025). Notes made after the movie are made in <<>>'s.
This trailer is awful. They have a trailer for the trailer. They chop up the manslaughter joke. It's bafflingly incompetent.
I'm the only one in the theater. And it's the smallest theater. It's been out for…almost two weeks. Maybe that's bad. <<I'm enjoying it though.>>
Commercials throw to the "thanks for watching our commercials" then a hard cut, silence, then ads for the theater I'm already at.
More silence.
Then the movie pre-roll where they ask me to turn off my phone and enjoy the movie.
The lights are still up.
Bugonia - Emma Stone in a movie about bees and capitalism. October. Looks intriguing.
One Battle After Another - These have been some very interesting previews.
Mr. Nobody 2 - That's gotta be all the fights in the trailer, so why watch. Looks less compelling than the original and the original was bleeeeargh.
Freakier Friday - Love Manny Jacinto, but..deffo for families.
This is Spinal Tap II - Looks intriguing. The end continues. September.
Lights still haven't gone down.
Running Man - Still feels like a movie that came out recently <<Self-Reliance https://youtu.be/Ocw_fVdr4_g?si=nyDBvn9q9kafxETA>> Wasn't the original Running Man just a deadly gameshow with colorful characters?
Roofman - Looks like fun. I don't get the Channing Tatum hype. It's a fun thing. Every story beat is in the trailer though.
Lights are finally going down. Is that normal?
Spinal Tap commercial…again, but also its a theater promo. Charming commercial though. Wonder if it's green screened, but who else would cut a promo like this.
