AVGN: The Movie - Trailer

Personally I'm a much bigger fan of James rather than AVGN. When he does videos talking about movies or games as himself it's much more enjoyable for me. There are a few episodes of AVGN that I like but generally they're a little too silly for my taste. This trailer has some of that too with "For the love of Pong." and the over the top projectile vomiting at the end. The reference to his Top Gun episode with "Speed up! Speed Down!" made me smile, however. Also, there seems to be some intentional movie cliches in there with the boxes and the fruit stand during a car chase. That stuff can be done right but if it's done too much or too obviously it can come across as lazy. Like the fruit stand. I hope the references to the show and other movies are subtle and far between. I'll definitely watch it since I'm curious to see what he comes up with but I won't be surprised if I don't like it.

What do you think?

I guess James just relates to my life. I'm a HUGE fan of Horror movies and films in general, so is James. James grew up with the NES and SNES, as did I. James' humor is goofy, so is mine. I love Cinemassacre, love the AVGN (although I probably prefer The Jersey Odysseys and Cinemassacre 200). Can't wait for this movie.

I prefer James when his doing his stuff on Cinemassacre, but this trailer makes the movie seem to be one of those it's so bad it's good movie, which seems to be the aim of this movie. Will I see it? Probably not.

I really hope this pans out well for James. He's obviously worked really hard to get his success, and it feels like he's really pouring his passion into this project. I'll watch it no matter what, just to support the guy.

He's come a long way. As himself at least, The Nerd is what it is, but I was very pleasantly surprised by the trailer.

It looks pretty good. I've been a big fan of AVGN since 2007, and I really want to see the movie.

I'll see it. I've been watching James as AVGN since he started way back in 2006 on YouTube. AVGN has never been subtle and the projectile vomiting at the end shows that. It's played for laughs, he knows it's bad and that's the charm of it.

AVGN is pretty okay, James is a cool dude and I hope this works out I'll watch it for sure

the reception for this trailer has been so mixed. it's either terrible or amazing. personally, i didn't really dig it so much. i love the passion that mr. rolfe has, and what he does with the AVGN but i didn't enjoy this trailer as much as i thought i would.

regardless, i'll watch it anyway just because i've been watching for so long. surprise me, james!

@Bwast: I'm in the same boat as you. I'd only seen a AVGN episode here and there and found them okay but I recently went through and watched all of them. Overall I can do without the shit humor (I'm no prude, just not funny) and the character but I really like when he's just talking about the games. I even learned some things I didn't know from him. The "making of" episode was really interesting.

If the movie's fairly cheap to check out I will but the trailer didn't do too much for me.

That wasn't what I expected, but then again, I don't even know what I was expecting out an AVGN movie.

I feel that the acting seems really spotty at parts, but maybe this trailer was just edited badly. It seems that way. I mean, aside from James, these ARE all professional actors. How bad could they get?

And the rest of the trailer looks like a blast! I love the little references to the show, and the storyline is so ludicrous it just has to work.
