Can Anyone REALLY Understand The Actors On True Detective?

I have been watching HBO's newest addition to it's massive show arsenal True Detective with baited breath. I am literally dying every week to see where it will go. The show is about to wrap up its 8th and final episode of its inaugural season and has been getting rave reviews... despite the fact that hardly anybody can make out what the hell the actors are even saying! I am not trying to knock Matthew McConaughey or Woody Harrellson... they have been tasked with a very wordy script and a seriously strong set of southern accents. The confusing story line and all the misdirection and mystery don't help much either. So Community's Joe Rash and Joel McHale have decided to create a fake two minute trailer to illustrate just how tough it is to understand ole Rust and Marty. This pretty much sums up the whole show in two short minutes. Can't wait to see how it all shakes out... but for now, enjoy this very funny clip...

'Now You See Me' - This Movie Looks Fucking Fantastic!!!

Last week I participated in my final trial by fire as Tara boyfriend/fiance when I attended Breaking Dawn Pt II in the theater. I have seen all of the Twilight movies with her in the theater because she often sits through a ton of shit with me she does not want to see (albeit my shit is good shit while the shit she picks is usually drivel). I will say that Breaking Dawn Pt. II was the most entertaining of the 5 Twilight films, but the gem of the whole movie going experience came before the opening credits... it came in the form of the trailer for Now You See Me. The magic themed thriller stars Jesse Eisenberg, Mark Ruffalo (these two are two of my favorite actors working right now), Michael Caine, Morgan Freeman, Isla Fisher, Dave Franco and Woody Harrelson and looks amazing. The special effects look great, the cast is star studded, and Eisenberg seems to be back to his dickish behavior that made him spectacular in The Social Network. Plus Isla Fisher is kinda sexy and could get it. And whenever we can get Caine & Freeman in the same film, I'll take it... check out the trailer after the jump. Now You See Me opens in 2013.

A to Z Blogging Challenge - Day #17 - Letter Q - Foods That Begin With The Letter 'Q'

This is one of my all time favorite scenes from the classic basketball movie 'White Man Can't Jump'. Gloria, played by Rosie Perez, is basketball hustler Billy Hoyle's (woody Harrelson) girlfriend. Since Billy is always hustling, Gloria is constantly studying for her big break when she can get on Jeopardy and win some big money. This all seems silly, until Billy gets her a chance to be on the show (through gambling on bball of course!) and she destroys the competition... but it all begins with her favorite category "Foods That Start With The Letter Q". Here you go:

Trailer Trash Talking #10 - Friends With Benefits by Kristen Grillo

Friends With Benefits – New Trailer: Release Date: July 22, 2011.

Justin Timberlake, Mila Kunis, Emma Stone, Patricia Clarkson, Woody Harrelson

I know. You’re just as confused as I am, right? You’re sittin’ there in your little house dress.... scratchin’ your hairy chin and saying to yourself, “didn’t this movie come out already?!”


Well you know it did. And I know it did. But I don’t think the sheeple of Hollywood think you know and I know that they know it did but they just don’t care. So now what?

The really bizarre thing here will be that, regardless of this cinematic repeat parrot, chances are it will do annoyingly well at the box office. Presumably because (in my best cornish, Zoolander impression) of it’s really, really, ridiculously good looking leading starlets. Chicks also tend to eat this corny fake romance crap up while guys will tolerate it and go see it in hopes to get a sneak peak of Kunis’ snack sacks. 89.7% (yes this is an accurate figure!) of my male friends admitted to seeing Black Swan because they wanted to see Portman and Kunis dine out on each other. Not that there is anything wrong with this but…I’m sure you get my point.

Another thing that ruffles my feathers is that the additional talent that is involved in this movie is confusing to me. Woody Harrelson and Richard Jenkins? Who the hell convinced these “way too overqualified” people to add this tasteless crap to their resumes? Maybe I’ll consider the whole “they didn’t know a similar film was being made” excuse, which I really don’t believe either because everyone knows what everyone is doing in this business. Or they felt like “trying something different.” But really, all you need to see is Justin Timberlake being airlifted by a helicopter in a straight jacket to know that this movie is going to be an absolute waste of $12+ bucks. Too bad this shit isn’t being released on April Fool’s Day. Then I’d totally be in on the joke.
