"I'm Sorry On Behalf of Every Camper in Bunk 12"
Esquire editor at large A.J. Jacobs bullied other kids at camp and he's sorry about it! In fact, he's contributed to a book about the hellish camp experience: Camp Camp: Where Fantasy Island Meets Lord Of The Flies. In the book trailer, he explains, "Going to camp was the single lowest point in my life, ethically speaking," and writes a letter to the kid he abused the most. [via Radar]

Chuck Palahniuk Going Overboard With 3 Porn-Spoof Book Trailers
Last week, we showed you "Wizard of Ass," the book trailer (the latest dubious trend in book promotion!) for Fight Club author Chuck Palahniuk's new book, Snuff. It was a parody of bad 70s porn, because his book is about an aging porn star ending her career with a bang—a gangbang! Now we've discovered that the book, out today, has two more trailers, "The Twilight Bone" and "Chitty Chitty Gang Bang." OK, Chuck: one jokey porn short film to promote your book is clever, whatever. But three? Click to judge the camera angles of the SFW "Twilight Bone" for yourself. More »

Chuck Palahniuk's Book Trailer Basically Straight-Up Porn
Fight Club author Chuck Palahniuk, coiner of the term "suicide girls" and writer of stark raving mad fiction (people have fainted during his readings), has a new book, Snuff. As it the trend right now, he also has a book trailer. As Fleshbot pointed out, it's a porn parody, as the book concerns a gangbang. Is it SFW? Sort of... there' no nudity, but your boss will assume you're watching bad 70s porn. (Here's the test of a good book trailer: after watching it, are you able to figure out what the hell the book is about? Well...) More »
Boo!
OK, so is anyone as creeped out by this trailer for The Strangers as I was? It looks a bit like that Luke Wilson/Kate Beckinsale movie Vacancy, which was actually pretty darn scurrry.

Film Promises to Jerk Jerk's Tears
Under the Same Moon is, we're told, "a heart-warming tale of a Mexican immigrant mom working as a domestic in Los Angeles, and her Mexico-residing son from whom she's separated." It will open in limited release in April, and apparently the attached commercial for it is airing today on CNN. CNN specifically because the three review quotes pulled for the trailer all claim the film would have a profound emotional effect on Lou Dobbs, the noted Xenophobic scumbag. Of course, a cute Mexican kid would not actually have any effect on Lou Dobbs whatsoever. He would only cry if you took away his millions of dollars, or possibly his daughter's pony. Trailer below.

Dude From 'Ferris Bueller' To Release Even Funnier Movie
Popular character actor and mendacious old fool Ben Stein has a little movie coming out about how "BIG SCIENCE" doesn't want you to know the truth about evolution. Stein salutes the scientists who are bad enough to question Darwinism in his upcoming documentary Expelled, about an unscrupulous Nixonite hack who parlays his unlikely pop cultural fame into an inexplicable career as an entertainer/propaganist. Rex Sorgatz asks, "do you remember when Ben Stein wasn't bat shit crazy?" Actually, uh, not really. Trailer after the jump! [Fimoculous] More »
