@@Che_mo80 Yup. In 2000s "the trailer voice" became mostly obsolete and they replaced it with actual dialogues or character's monologues from the movies edited to fit trailer's narrative. But I would argue that "Satan's Alley" as a movie concept is still pretty much 2000s ;)

"Satan´s Alley" is even more funny, because there´s an actual movie called "Benedetta" by Robocop director Paul Verhoeven, that came out last year and has the exact same premisse, only with catholic nuns instead of monks, having a forbidden gay love affair during the Middle Ages. An interviewer even asked Verhoeven if he got the idea from "Satan´s Alley", Verhoeven answered that he wasn´t aware of this, the interviewer then showed him the fake trailer and Verhoeven apparently loled hard. xD

​@@bryedtan ... Well, while movie trailer narration might have disappeared at the moment, in general, it can always come back again, much like a fashion, fad or trend. A never-ending cycle. Here, gone, here, gone, here again. At least in the U.S. I'm sure there are other movie trailers out there for movies from other nations that are using voiceovers right now. And voiceovers have been around since the 1940's, more or less, back when movie trailers were so much longer than now, which also included a lot more text graphics on the trailer's screen, like "A must see" or "The intrigue, the mayhem", etc. Or maybe that started in the 1950's-70's. Some called them movie previews but I don't care, it's still a trailer. Another thing that may have disappeared or just got lesser, was the Opening credits, maybe due to audience ADHD heh. Anyway, the voiceovers probably started dying off around a decade ago, mainly due to Don's passing. Some factors for it going away, besides Don, was that voiceovers got parodied a lot & these Tropic Thunder fake trailers is a great example of this. Another factor was production studio marketing found that it might be a better selling point to just instill a little more intrigue & mystery about the movie, rather than talking too much about it, so using visuals & music alone would be better to get more tickets. Again, voiceovers, on the majority, may come back at a future date... and then die down again a few decades after that, heh.

Trailers these days are incoherent all about pumping music and cgi.

[@bryedtan]

@@sherwinceleste1707 Exactly today trailers dont give enough clear idea of the plot of the film. Trailers dont look as nice as older trailers. More voice overs would help actually a lot.

This movie has a lot of interesting things. In my opinion this was one of the best comedies of that decade.

Quiet Ironic that Heath ledger (Australian Method actor ) actually won the Oscar that year..

[@danebrennand]

The use of Enigma in that RDJ trailer always had me in stitches. They picked the literal best piece of music for the homo monk erotica

[@ryans6280]

Homo monk erotica ... Def could be a metal band

[@smorenojths]

Homo monk erotica. A combination of words I thought I'd never see. 😅

[@dd23537]

I was dumbfounded when this came on the TV; I didn't know if the movie actually started or not... but I was crying. Holy fucking shit. "Who left the fridge open?" Absolute genius.

[@ricardoom369]

WoW….The first Peter and Iron man together

[@dasupertramp5855]

Second time. Wonder Boys. Which makes Satan's Alley even funnier.

[@capnandy462]

Watching all these trailers made me thirsty. If only there was a refreshing energy drink I could know about!

[@lepyrolink182]

To be honest, Satan's Alley would actually be a great premise.

they left out the first ad, for booty sweat energy drink. It was integral to the whole "what the heck is this real" experience we had when we saw it in theaters, since most folks dont know the booty sweat actor but we know these actors arent named tugg speedman, jeff portnoy, and kirk lazarus

[@jendaar]

This was the Iron man/Spiderman relationship everyone was expecting.

[@c.galindo9639]

Yes. It was

[@mrkanangra]

Even though I have watched the movie a few times over the years, here I am watching this YT video, and literally in tears laughing - especially the last trailer with Toby Maguire.... Tropic Thunder is one of the best movies in the last 20 years bar none...better than Zoolander. All the cast members are awesome....just an absolute classic!!!!

[@TMMx]

Satan’s Alley unironically looks good though. I would watch that.

[@kerrimacharg6889]

The fact that Tobey Maguire and Robert Downey Jr played lovers in an actual movie makes this so much funnier lol

[@anthonymurrell5389]

Satan's alley had me dieying lmfaoooo

[@philipsalama8083]

The trailer for 'The Fatties' is very accurate for that era. Even down to the font. I could absolutely buy that that was a real movie.

[@lucasgagliardi433]

The last one can be taken as a playful reference to RDJ and Tobey McGuire's characters in 'Wonder Boys'. They played two characters who ended up under the same sheets.

LMAO this movie was hilarious. And it was even more hilarious watching it with commentary on and RDJ still in character 😭
