Fantastic Mr. Fox trailer is astonishingly bad: http://bit.ly/tcuLv @kateyrich: “as sophisticated animation-wise as W&Gromit was 15 yrs ago”
Too bad none of the many articles/posts/interviews we busted our asses at Comic Con are going to get this popular :P http://bit.ly/ww4hR
Well, looks like this photo I put no work into is going viral: http://flic.kr/p/6Hxf3z 64,000 views so far, and it’s about to hit Digg too.

Coen Brother MadLibs with Katey Rich
Katey Rich: Don't you imagine george Clooney looking at the new Coens trailer and saying "Dammit! Should've stuck with them!"
David Chen: LOL
David Chen: nah
David Chen: sticking with them woudl have been INTOLERABLE CRUELTY
David Chen: HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
David Chen: HAHAHAHAHAHAHA
David Chen: GET IT???
Katey Rich: oh you wear yourself out don't you
Katey Rich: It would've been BLOOD SIMPLE for Clooney to stick with them
Katey Rich: But apparently over the course of their creative partnership, Clooney and the Coens came to a MILLER'S CROSSING
David Chen: yeah but instead, Clooney went with Anderson and was almost like THE MAN WHO WASN'T THERE
David Chen: (to the Coens)
Katey Rich: It's almost as bad as the time Joel went on vacation, and Ethan was left at home shouting O BROTHER WHERE ART THOU
David Chen: Yeah, you mean that time Joel went to visit FARGO, North Dakota, I remember that.
Katey Rich: Nah, he and his construction company were RAZING ARIZONA
Katey Rich: (double zing!)
David Chen: SNAP
David Chen: It's okay, Clooney was getting tired of working with them. After all, this is NO COUNTRY FOR OLD MEN
David Chen: (like the Coens)
Katey Rich: And he was busy in his second career as a LADYKILLER
David Chen: Oh right he did do that after he signed THE HUDSUCKER PROXY.
David Chen: That one makes no sense, but had to get it in there somehow.
Katey Rich: I've got to figure out what we're missing
Katey Rich: Oh! After Clooney signed that proxy, he followed the instructions to BURN AFTER READING
David Chen: LOL
David Chen: More like
David Chen: If this Fantastic MR. Fox Trailer were a piece of paper, I would advise you to BURN AFTER READING
David Chen: and we don't have Barton Fink or Big Lebowski either
David Chen: but those are hard
Katey Rich: ooh that is hard
David Chen: it's all good
David Chen: those are just names
David Chen: It's almost like this trailer took a BIG LEBOWSKI all over Clooney's career
David Chen: if you know what I'm saying.
Katey Rich: and oh, I do
