"Red Dawn" Trailer Predictably Blows

From the looks of things, watching for seams-showing where FX and editing were employed to turn the "Red Dawn" remake's bad guys from China to North Korea will be a lot more interesting than the movie itself...

I'm making an effort to be more positive lately, so let's momentarily ignore the fact that this movie apparently sucks so profoundly that it's been sitting on a shelf for three years and focus on some stuff I actually LIKED in this trailer:

1. Shot with the snow-globe is a clever repurposing of the "Jurassic Park Effect."

2.) Thor being a returned-veteran is a potentially interesting twist - assuming he's either coming back from Iraq or Afghanistan (remember, this was actually made in 2009) he's essentially going from combating an insurgency to partcipating in one.

3.) The notion of North Korea being able to invade a Dennys, much less the United States, is still laughable on it's face; but an EMP weapon is a good-enough solution to handwaving how such an asymmetrical invasion might be at least attempted.

Also, it just occured to me: Since the goal of the re-edit was to stay on the Chinese market's good side (and let's be clear here: China invading the U.S. militarily is every bit as dumb as North Korea), will they bother to address the now-present plothole of why China doesn't bomb NK into the Stone Age for invading a country they've got billions of dollars invested in? Let's get real for a minute here - before the Wolverines would've even had time to gather ammo, wouldn't a Red Army detachment be in Pyonyang asking that they please stop touching their stuff?
