Brad Pitt's been chasing an Oscar so much so recently, we almost forgot how funny the guy can be. Dig his clueless personal trainer dude blackmailing a CIA badass (John Malkovich) in this just-out trailer for Joel and Ethan Coen's Burn After Reading. (Warning: This clip's got some R-rated language, kids.) Better yet, just dig the highlights.

Too bad George Clooney doesn't get as much room here, but, hey, look at that: The dad from Juno barking orders. Love that guy. Anyway, looks like a return to the zanier Lebowski-like Coen flicks we love the best (sorry, No Country for Old Men).

What do you think? Is Pitt on his game or just hamming it up with bad hair? Sound off in the comments.
