Attack the Block Still Looks Awesome, If You Were Wondering
You probably weren’t wondering, though. I mean, all the trailers for the young-London-thugs-versus-aliens movie have been pretty great, so there’s not really been any cause to doubt that the movie would be awesome. And in fact this new red-band trailer also gives no reason to suspect the movie’s awesomeness, either. It just still looks great. My favorite part is how excited the kids are to go murder aliens! The only way this movie could be any better is if the aliens looked like E.T. I would watch a movie about E.T. being murdered by thugs a million, kajillion times, no foolin’.
