Hello there. Long time no see. I know you’ve been hurting for some new movie trailers, so I’ve got two presents for you.

‘Year One‘ stars Jack Black and Michael Cera (*swoon*) as two tribesmen kicked out of the community after Black eats from the Tree of Knowledge. From there, history and geography get thrown in the blender as they go on what studio executives would like us to think is an epic adventure. Take a look:

This movie has a lot going for it. David Cross and Paul Rudd as Cain and Abel makes me giddy with anticipation, and it looks like Black and Cera get to play to their strengths as slapsticky and awkward actors respectively. Plus, history is funny! Right? Unless there is some gaping plot hole waiting to be discovered, I think we may have an enjoyable summer romp on our hands (it comes out on June 19). Grade: A-

Hit the jump for a light French crime caper, set in Africa.

UPDATE: Now in proper English!

Yeah, you knew the Obama couple was kinky, didn’t you? I especially enjoy that one of the women on the show understands the error immediately, but the other seems to have never heard of fisting. Maybe there is something to that ‘generation gap’ talk. In any case, here are your weekly links:

• I’m going to go out on a limb and say that this will be the worst news men ever receive in 2009: masturbation leads to cancer.

• A super-duper high resolution image of the inauguration. You can zoom in to see Clarence Thomas napping! Also, hooray for the last inauguration link ever!

• A neat, simple game with a teddy bear making his way over windy traffic: Sunny Day Sky.

• Continuing our tradition of hilarious blogs, one girl’s lengthy (with slightly NSFW text) testimonial: I bang the worst dudes.

Hit the jump for Jacques Chirac’s run in with a poodle, love advice and what Kylie Minogue sounds like when slowed down (hint: it’s less-than-straight).

Where did they find all those neat Lego(e)s? In any case, let’s enjoy some links together, shall we?

• A satellite view of the inauguration crowd. If you look long enough, you can spot yourself!

• A cross-section of news papers from around the world reporting on Obama’s inauguration. I like the one from Montreal, where the editorial staff apparently decided that the ball was way more important than the whole becoming-President thing.

• A catalogue of Superuseless Superpowers. My personal favorite: the Complementary Chameleon.

Hit the jump for Hugh Laurie in British commercials, Durex ads and a vision of the future.

It’s true: today’s video threefer (that’s three videos to you) contains nary an extended sequence of girls in bikinis. I know it’s hard to swear off them, but the absence will make all our hearts grow fonder. Until then, here’s Sebastien Tellier’s neat video for ‘Divine,’ which was the much-disputed French entry in the Eurovision 2008 music contest (sort of like the American Music Awards, but trashier). Enjoy:
