TMF here, still stuck waist deep in my episode, but I had time to see some fire this weekend.
gun? check. cell phone? check.
What’s this movie about? JAKTEN STARTER 26. AUGUST…or something? Doesn’t matter what it’s about. It’s awesome. Go see it.
Oh you’re going to be like that, huh? Fine. The movie is about a small guy who has a Napoleon complex and gets in some real shit, and then basically has to kick ass to keep from dying.
Every obstacle is smart. Smart obstacles separate good movies from bad ones.
Go see it, unless you live in Texas. You guys don’t get these kinds of movies.
Then I think you will enjoy this trailer about a guy in his 30′s who is still attached to his teddy bear, Ted. Pretty appropriate name for a stuffed bear. Mila Kunis plays Mark Wahlberg’s girlfriend who needs him to get over his buddy-buddy relationship with his long-time best friend so they can start to move forward with their lives.
Problem is they are clearly still attached like he was a kid dragging him around the house. It’s like one of your bros … but he’s filled with cotton or something.
I think if I had a teddy bear who could sit on the couch and smoke bongs and eat Corn Pops with me, then I’d be OK with it. Who wouldn’t want that?
Sure, I’m a real adult blah blah blah, I do adult things blah blah blah. When you were a kid, your best friend was probably some stuffed fabric too. I don’t think I had a bear, but I defiantly had “Puffy” the Elephant, and I knew it would never be the same without him. Regardless, if you had a bear or elephant or whatever, you still wanted him to never leave your side, right? Well hopefully this story shows you how it could have been.
“Thunder Buddies for LIFE right Johnny?”
“Fucking Right…”
Once again, thanks to Tim for the link. Oh and quick inside scoop here….I still have my “Puffy” the Elephant. It’s at home where I grew up.. Judge me and die, I got it when I was born.
Remember the blazer /shorts/ high socks swag? The pony tail swag? Unmatched — no one pulls that off like DeVito.
Introduce some real swag with a black guy Eddie Murphy? Maybe cast him as the loudmouth black brother they never knew they had? I think I just wrote the whole movie.
Surefire GOLD.
“Lets get Dr. Doolittle in there and see what happens.” – Someone who makes this shit happen.
These guys are pretty washed up with the exception of DeVito, who makes appearances all over the place on TV shows in conjunction with holding a steady job as Frank on It’s Always Sunny In Philadelphia. Arnold is just learning that there is more to the U.S. than California and I am pretty sure Eddie Murphy lost like a butt-load of money doing 1,000 Words or something.
I have 1,000 words for you bro … “DO THIS FUCKING MOVIE” x’s 250.
Just bring these guys together and I swear it will be a blockbuster.
With the NHL playoffs around the corner – you can bet your ass I’m going to be watching some hockey movies this weekend. This plan got me thinking – what group of six hockey playing movie characters would make the best team? I am going to eliminate players from Miracle from this list because they are real people, aka personas non-gratis on a fantasy list. You don’t have to be the best player to be on this list – but character-wise you better be great.
Lets start with an easy one:
G – Denis Lemieux – Slapshot (1977)
I doubt any goalie has ever had a better knowledge of the game than Lemieux – as he demonstrates in the clip below. I want a goalie that carries his stick with him everywhere and talks funny. He also plays for one of the shittiest teams in the league prior to the arrival of the Hanson brothers so he would be facing many less shots each game with the rest of this line up. Denis also will provide comic relief for the team just by talking – what more can you ask for out of a goalie? Oh and the mask? Tits.
So 2011 brought us the “Arab Spring.” Will 2012 be “The Dictator Summer?”
The trailer for Sasha Baron Cohen’s new film hit a few weeks ago and it seems more timely than ever. The film is based on Saddam Hussein’s (alleged) book, Zabibah and the King; a novel about a love affair between a monarch and a peasant, Zabibah, whose life is made miserable by her rich, abusive husband and neighbors. Sounds terrible. To no surprise, the characters serve as an allegory for Iraq in the years following the first Gulf War: the king represents Saddam; Zabibah, the Iraqi people; her husband, the evil United States; and rich neighbors, Israel. Poor Iraq, apparently Saddam wasn’t too adept to subtlety.
To totally give away the ending because I am sure everyone was one click away from ordering this gem on Amazon… Zabibah is sexually assaulted by a mysterious figure who turns out to be her spouse (uh hum, the good ol’ US of A) then tragically killed on January 17 (the day the US bombed Iraq.) Deep shit, Saddam.
Luckily, Baron-Cohen’s version is a bit less heavy. Which he describes as a film “about a dictator who is secretly replaced by a look-alike goatherd and must rebuild his life in New York City.”
Is this the Middle East’s Coming to America? Time will only tell. But, Baron Cohen plays both the dictator and the goatherd, while Anna Faris plays the Zabibah figure. The film also stars John C. Reilly and Jason Mantzoukas (Raffi from “The League.”)
Well, unfortunately, Saddam isn’t around to check out the theatrical debut of his “work” nor is Gaddafi to see his likeness strewn across the screen. However, if precedent holds true, The Dictator will most likely be a satire on us, using the likenesses our sworn enemies. Oh the irony.
