We realize there's only so much time one can spend in a day watching new trailers, viral video clips, and shaky cell phone footage of people arguing on live television. This is why every day The Atlantic Wire highlights the videos that truly earn your five minutes (or less) of attention. The new Game Change trailer reveals an unexpected threat to Julianne Moore's plans to walk away with the picture, Mel Gibson's new movie is coming soon to an on-demand menu near you, and Wes Anderson's fondness for overhead shots has not gone unnoticed. 
 
 The first trailer for Game Change is a major improvement over the teaser footage, in which Julianne Moore played Sarah Palin like someone struggling to recover from the after-effects of a major head injury. This time, we see her working a room and yelling and having doubts about herself, all of which is done well. But we can't shake this feeling that Woody Harrelson, as McCain campaign hand Steve Schmidt, will very quietly end up walking away with Moore's movie. [HBO Films] 
 
 
 
 
 
 The French loved it, but The Beaver didn't help Mel Gibson make a comeback with audiences stateside. Maybe Get the Gringo, a straight-to-DirecTV thriller that Gibson co-wrote and stars in will be enough to bring back memories of the old Mel. On the one hand, it has car chases, and Mexican prisons, and a plucky kid for Gibson to befriend. But it's also been retitled, from the original How I Spent My Summer Vacation, and filming originally began way back in March 2010. The film "premieres" May 1, and is going to cost $10.99. Per Nikki Finke, Gibson's Icon Productions has made "an innovative deal" regarding distribution with 20th Century Fox, which, if history is any indicator, will end up making Gibson a mint.

 It's important to note that Kristen Bell isn't crying here because she's scared of the baby sloth that boyfriend Dax Shephard gave her. Those are happy sloth tears. The best kind of sloth tears. [Ellen] 
 
 
 
 
 
 While we largely enjoy director Wes Anderson's work, a supercut of all his just-so overhead shots seems like the kind of thing he probably had coming. (There also should a supercut of scenes where people suddenly start swearing out of nowhere and make the film unfit to watch with your parents.) The tone of the video falls somewhere between gently amused and highly exasperated, which probably won't be helped by the overhead-heavy trailer for Anderson's new film Moonrise Kingdom.

 Graphic designer Adam Ladd filmed his young daughter's initial response to a host of iconic logos, like Starbucks and McDonald's and Pepsi. The results are cute and unsettling. BP, however, must be pleased: their logo is really capturing the imagination of the 3-to-5-year-old set. [Adam Ladd Videos via Jezebel]

 Ray Gustini ||||| The Trailer For HBO’s Game Change Depicts Sarah Palin ‘On The Verge Of A Complete Mental Breakdown’

 Last month, when HBO debuted the teaser trailer for their adaptation of John Heilemann and Mark Halperin’s best seller, Game Change, it became clear why they chose to cut out about two thirds of the book and only focus on the McCain/Palin half of the campaign. Clearly they decided that they’d rather do a Frankenstein-esque story about McCain’s staffers coming to regret the choice they made in bringing a little-known governor into the limelight instead of the epic battle of wills that made up the book’s Obama vs. Clinton sections. The full trailer, which aired on Sunday, continues the same theme and gives us even more famous actors getting their turn to stare in horror at the “monster” they’ve created. 
 
 It also gives us more chance to see Julianne Moore’s take on Sarah Palin. I compared the teaser’s approach to the character to that of Jaws‘ treatment of the shark, but here we really get to see the performance. We get to see her trying on clothes, we get to see her infamous “I can see Russia” moment, and you even see her have what one character calls “a complete mental meltdown.” We’re assuming he doesn’t mean the fun kind like Kristen Bell. And, when the trailer ended with Palin whispering through gritted teeth, “We have to win this, I really don’t want to go back to Alaska,” I had to agree with I’m With Kanye in suggesting that Moore can clear off the Emmy space on her mantle now. 
 
 Seriously, for anyone who hates Palin, it’s clear that HBO has made the perfect piece of horror/comedy/porn for you.

– If you thought Julianne Moore's Sarah Palin was terrifying in the first Game Change teaser, wait until you see her in the full trailer, where she utters lines such as, "We have to win this thing. I so don’t want to go back to Alaska." Watch below, then read on for some reactions: This will clearly be "a Frankenstein-esque story about McCain’s staffers coming to regret the choice they made in bringing a little-known governor into the limelight," writes Jon Bershad at Mediaite. "The full trailer ... gives us even more famous actors getting their turn to stare in horror at the 'monster' they’ve created." "Regardless of the final outcome and how the film is received, hats off to the Game Change makeup department for making Ed Harris and Julianne Moore look so much like McCain and Palin that it's scary," writes Madeleine Davies on Jezebel. I'm With Kanye keeps it brief: "Please, go ahead and give Julianne Moore the Emmy now." Moore certainly does a good job, "but we can't shake this feeling that Woody Harrelson, as McCain campaign hand Steve Schmidt, will very quietly end up walking away with Moore's movie," writes Ray Gustini on the Atlantic Wire. HBO's second teaser is also included in the gallery. Click for the first Game Change teaser.
