Trailer Trash with Eli Roth: Better than a Root Canal?
Dear, dear Eli Roth. For his latest cinematic venture, he has decided that American film goers need to see 90 minutes of trailers. Fake trailers.
After the popularity of the fake trailers that comprised the “intermission” of Grindhouse, Roth has decided to turn his hand to making even more fake trailers. The relative unpopularity of his Grindhouse entry, “Thanksgiving,” hasn’t deterred him one bit.
Personally, I’d rather pay a visit to the eponymous Hostel and endure those tortures than sit through Trailer Trash. It might have something to do with my personal dislike of Roth, fueled by his self-important posturing. After the box office and critical failure of Hostel: Part II, Roth tapped out a spittle-flecked MySpace blog blaming piracy. Of course. Apparently, every single film goer and critic who disliked Hostel: Part II had availed themselves of an extremely low quality, unfinished leak. Roth actually claimed that professional critics had based their reviews entirely on this pirated version, instead of viewing, you know, the screener copies they get in the mail.
In any case, whether we like it or not, Trailer Trash will soon be foisted upon us. Will Eli Roth actually create an unlikely work of genius? I’m not ready to give him the benefit of the doubt, but if you are, go nuts - and play some Eli Roth movie trivia in the meantime.

Eli Roth lives in his own little world where he’s a genius and everyone who disagrees with him is wrong. And on Planet Roth, this kind of movie is a good idea.
