Explanations

PAPER CUT= A short way of saying: "I've cut my finger with a paper".

COULDN'T SIT THROUGH...= If you can't sit through a movie, you can't watch it completely because you don't like it.

TAKE AIM= If you take aim at something, you look carefully at it so that you can shoot it without missing. Metaphorically, we can use this expression to say that you must look at something carefully (both meanings merge here).

ALICE= From the story/movie "Alice in Wonderland" (this Alice looks like the one in Tim Burton's movie: Alice in Wonderland). She was chasing a rabbit when she fell inside a rabbit hole and went into a new world. That transition here is much more traumatic, but basically the same.

YOU DON'T GET IT= (coll.) You don't understand.

FAGS= (a rude word, an insult) Homosexuals.

TO GO GAGA= If you go gaga about something, you like it very very much. But then, of course, we have Lady Gaga (if you are gaga, you are silly, crazy or senile).

FREAKY= A freaky person (or a freak) is someone who is very strange and different from the usual people. Unconventional; bizarre.

THE BIGGER THE HIT, THE HARDER IT SUCKS= The literal meaning is: if you hit it strongly, it will suck much more. It doesn't mean anything really, but a person is hitting another man, and another person is sucking blood, so it makes sense. Nevertheless, this pun means something different from what the images suggest. HIT is a song or film that was a great success (like the Twilight movies) and in colloquial English, if something SUCKS, it is horrible. So this sentence really means: Very successful movies like Twilight are horrible.

SCREEN TIME= The minutes a film lasts.

THE BLACK EYED PEAS= A type of beans that grows mostly in Caceres (Spain) and California (see picture). But here it is the name of a famous music band (see a video of them here: Shut Up).

VAMPIRES SUCK= The title of the movie is a pun because vampires suck blood, but in colloquial English when something sucks it means that it's pathetic, we don't like it.

It's a very funny trailer. I don't like the vampires' movies, but this movie is different. I think that, If I go to the cinema, I'm gonna laugh.
