Rubber



Probably the weirdest/stupidest movie trailer i've seen this year by far, but it is only February. RUBBER is a movie about a car tire that goes on a killing spree. It premiered at the Cannes Film Festival last year with negative reviews. It is due to be released february 25th. A tire with psychic killing powers. And I thought Snakes On A Plane was stupid. This is a whole new level.
