The trailer is okay--like @1 says, far less crappy than expected. It looks like it tries to go in the direction of Tarantino and Stephen Chow (Kung Fu Hustle, Forbidden City Cop). The reasons MacFarlane's film won't be as good are the self-aware irony of the characters and, actually, the obscene language. Tarantino uses swear words well; MacFarlane's use of swear words is just juvenile and doesn't add anything.
That trailer won't get me in the theater, despite Charlize Theron and Sarah Silverman. However, it DID remind me of this, from a few internet-meme-eons ago:
I could imagine watching that movie on Netflix hungover at some point, but that's about it. thankd to this clip, however, I am interested in how they use Liam Nesson in a western:
Giving Paul the benefit of the doubt, he's very poor at expressing himself. He appears to have little respect for word usage, and often says stuff for effect, not meaning what he's saying. However, if you're calling him out on his shallowness, you may be very right.
Couldn't vote. None of the above applied. Looks pretty violent, and while I've seen films that are so off-the-rails violent, you have to laugh uncomfortably, don't know if this film will fall in that category. Has some good people associated with it though. Wouldn't want to condemn it before I have more info.
It's not that complicated that SodaStream profits from tax incentives to locate in an Israeli settlement and help entrench the occupation. This is why locally-based retailers like Sur La Table should quit carrying these products:

MacFarlane is really hit or miss. When he is on point he's frankly brilliant (I mean have you wanted the "Road to" series on Family Guy?) But at the same time some of his work is just pure shit. He's kinda feast or famine with nothing in between.
That said he's one of the five celebrities I would fuck in a heart beat.
@17, 19: I think it largely comes from when he hosted the Oscars (Golden Globes?) a few years back, and bombed pretty hard during his monologue. Too much Nazi humor in poor taste, if I recall correctly. I didn't actually see it though.
I'm really not convinced with this. For every positive element, I saw a negative one immediately afterward to negate it. This one will be a Netflix viewing, and even then probably only if the wife is out for the evening so I won't feel guilty for putting her through it.

@17: Hotness aside, his stuff hasn't aged that well, really.
