Here's the trailer.

I'll say it looks incredibly lame and stupid, but I wouldn't call it offensive.  It seems like in today's world you aren't cool if you aren't offended by crap that's as ridiculous as this.

[MagmarFire]

I wouldn't call it offensive, either, but...really, now, they expect people to suspend belief on characters who, for some reason, can't tell that these guys are cross-dressing?

...I just don't know, man...

[Keaton]

I couldn't watch more than 20 seconds of that.

[Hi no Seijin]

The Dark Knight Rises is almost here!  Summer 2012.  I must watch it before the world kills everyone.

[MagmarFire]

So the moon's not going to do that? Skull Kid, that's false advertising! Come back here!

[Hi no Seijin]

Well, the world could use the moon to kill us by way of Skull Kid.  I don't know the specifics.

[MagmarFire]

If the world's sentient, I suppose so. Everyone knows it's sentient.

People are probably just going to be offended simply by the fact that it is about crossdressers, not because of any actual quality. Which is really silly, anyway. Take the two movies that topped AFI's list of the best American comedies, Some Like It Hot and Tootsie. Both about men who, for whatever reason the plot sees fit, makes them dress as women. Both great, hilarious comedies, too.

That being said, Work It looks awful anyway. So, so unfunny.

There's still the expectation of willing suspension of disbelief that's the elephant in the room for me.

But I'm going to play devil's advocate for just a second and propose that their advertising's just bad. After all, look at Nickelodeon; it makes just about all of its new shows, which it's only planning on screwing over anyway, that aren't SpongeBob or Avatar look like gross belchfests (I don't know if they do this anymore, so maybe I'm still just sour over the whole deal). Of course, the making-it-look-bad thing was probably their modus operandi from the get-go...

Mod edit:  Fixed your BBCode

[Hi no Seijin]

I'm going to go ahead and get it over with.  Look at me, I'm making a post that isn't from a computer!

Yeah, I need to get some sleep. :-/

Gosh darn it, I wish I could change the site's CSS. These text boxes should have a width of 100% so they don't overflow into a hidden area.

[Darth Wyndisis]

I have that problem when I use Firefox, but not when I use Chrome.

[Hi no Seijin]

So, which one is better overall, Firefox or Chrome?

[Darth Wyndisis]

If you'd asked me a few days ago, I would have said they were even.  There's been problems with both of them... well, one glaring problem with each one.  With Firefox, it is the thing with the text boxes.  With Chrome, it hadn't been letting me use the volume control on my keyboard to adjust the volume when I was watching YouTube videos.  When I watched a YT video using Chrome yesterday, which I hadn't done in several months, the issue with the volume control was gone.  So as of right now I would say Chrome is better, at least for what I am using it for.

[MagmarFire]

Oddly enough, I don't remember having this kind of textbox problem before. Really, though, it's only a simple CSS declaration that's needed to fix it.

...KP, help me out here. D:
