Not Sure About This One...
I like the idea of giving the writers behind The Onion a movie...but making a movie out of a parody newspaper?  Is it really just going to be a film-length fake newscast with this old guy reading us old Onion articles?  Cause, if so, I'm not shocked it's going straight to DVD:
It's eerily reminiscent of the Jerky Boys movie.  The Onion is no flash-in-the-pan.  Why not wait until a genuinely good idea for a way to extend the brand into films comes along?
Or maybe this is all a fakeout and there is no Onion Movie.  Or maybe there is, but it's nothing like this.  I'm not sure I still care.
[They're seriously excited about the trailer at Film Drunk.  Tantalized, you might even say.  "zOMG!  They said cock!  And I recognize that guy from my childhood in the '80s!  Best Trailer Evah!"'
