By now you understand our tastes when it comes to movies. Some have called it snobbery. Others have called it just plain weird. We call it, ‘not wasting money or time on any more of your bullshit shennagins cause it doesn’t matter how many motherboards you melt rendering a giant robot’s balls<\/a> thinking it’s a funny joke or that racist little robots are the pinnacle of comedic genius we’re not watching your film abortions any more, Michael Bay! You here that!?<\/a> Never a-damn-gain!’<\/p>\n

Where were we again? <\/p>\n

Oh right: movie snobbery.<\/p>\n

Now it would appear that a flick named HOT TUB TIME MACHINE<\/a> automatically falls into that area located directly beneath the nose. You would think this. Hopefully, you didn’t take bets because you would be dead wrong.<\/p>\n

Maybe it’s John Cusack owning up to his humble teen loser years. Maybe it’s Craig Robinson’s deadpan <\/a> Aside Glance<\/a> as he quizzically ponders how they partied in a hot tub in 2010 one night and woke up in 1985 the next night. Maybe still it’s Robinson’s all defining question, “What color is Michael Jackson?” that spared the cash on opening night. <\/p>\n

The trailer lurks below.

Now for the movie trailer facts:<\/p>\n

What We Learned<\/strong>
\nA genre in time can be determined by discovering the state of Michael Jackson.<\/p>\n

What We Saw<\/strong>
\nThe 80s translation of DAZED AND CONFUSED. Full stop.<\/p>\n

Why We\u00e2\u20ac\u2122re Gonna Watch<\/strong>
\nJohn Cuscak<\/a> owning up to his trench coat days<\/a>(look below). Craig Robinson<\/a> owning the camera, if ony for a second. Rob Corddry<\/a> being the loud-mouthed party-friend that every douchebag with a bottle of Jack while be imitating for months to come.<\/p>\n

We have a hope Joan Cusack makes a non-credited cameo<\/a>.<\/p>\n
