Knight and Day: The Most Totally Original Idea for a Movie, Probably Ever

By Stacey Nosek | Posted Under Pajiba Love | Comments (33)

Studio people are trying to market Knight and Day based on ~~its merits~~ the fact that its not a remake or a sequel. The sad fact of the matter is: It actually does have that going for it. (Film Drunk)

What do Eminem and the “Sham Wow” guy have in common? Well, nothing that I can come up with — but for some reason Em’s got him shilling his new album, “Recovery.” (Agent Bedhead)

Awww, Indiana Jones and Aly McBeal got married in New Mexico on Tuesday. I think these two are so cute together I don’t even have anything snarky to say. (Celebitchy)

Here are some freaky new stills for Robert Rodriquez’s remake of Predators. Yup, they look pretty Predatorey, all right. (Screen Junkies)

You know the “I’m on a Horse” guy from the Old Spice advertisement? Yeah, that guy. He’s getting his own deal with NBC now. Ehh, it’s still a lot less stupid than “Cavemen.” (Warming Glow)

Elton John and his partner are trying to ‘splain away Elton John performing at Rush Limbaugh’s wedding last week, saying that it’s about “building bridges.” Exactly. Solid gold bridges encrusted with diamonds and rubies, of course. How else would a flamboyantly gay man decorate his new Koi Pond? (Evil Beet)

Sony is apparently now meeting with writers to hear pitches for the sequel to the Karate Kid reboot. Really? I’m just shocked it even took them this long. (The Playlist)

Here’s a list of the 10 best “dumb” TV characters, on the site formerly known as “Notes on Bar Napkins.” (Adult / Entertainer)

A charming young man living in Cleveland County, North Carolina is absolutely certain that he came face-to-face with a real life Sasquatch, and it definitely was NOT a moonshine-induced hallucination. (DListed)

Here’s a list of the five best actor performances in animated movies. Thanks, dammitjanet! (Yahoo!)

The Russians have created a new refrigerator which preserves food in green slimey stuff. Uh oh. This is going to be the Space Race all over again, isn’t it? (Gamma Squad)

Here’s a cute little animated mash-up of Super Mario Brothers and Pac-Man. Thanks to MelBivDevoe for sending this in!

I want one of those Russian fridges. Now. I will pay top dollar* for the opportunity to own THE GREATEST CONVERSATION STARTER IN THE HISTORY OF SHELTERED LIVING!!!

*No I won't.

Harrison could have saved himself a lot of time and money if he'd just stayed home and fucked a potato sack full of pretzel rods.

Posted by: Tracer Bullet at June 17, 2010 1:18 PM

@ Tracer -

That was quite an impressive display of nastiness.

You're a potato sack full of pretzel rods.

You choose.

Posted by: Mrs. Julien at June 17, 2010 1:24 PM

Wait? Someone actually wanted to marry Rush Limbaugh? And she talked him into having Elton John perform at their wedding? Did Rush marry a guy?

Posted by: BWeaves at June 17, 2010 1:28 PM

Eff that Sasquatch guy - everybody knows the only true Sasquatch lives in the Northwest!! Even the name "Sasquatch" is a NW Indian word!

Posted by: MM at June 17, 2010 1:28 PM

Knight and Day
Maybe if it was Ted Knight and Doris Day.
That'd be fun huh?

Posted by: Odnon at June 17, 2010 1:41 PM

MM,
You tryin' ta say dat Sasquatch cain't take a fuckin' vacayshun to my wunderfull stayt?! Wut's wrong wit Norf Carolina ya sumbitch!

Posted by: Kballs at June 17, 2010 1:48 PM

That list is complete fail for not mentioning Robin Williams in Aladdin. Think whatever you want about the guy, but that's one of the best voice performances ever.

Honorable Mentions:
-Ellen DeGeneres in Finding Nemo
-James Woods in Hercules
-JEREMY IRONS in Lion King (COME ON!)

Oh, Kballs, how would Sasquatch go on vacation? Plane, train, automobile? That would cause quite a stir. Also, Sasquatch is not bred for a North Carolina summer (permanent fur coat, see?). He has to stay in cooler climes.

Posted by: MM at June 17, 2010 2:22 PM

Kballs, it's Norf Kare-lina. I should know I hear it every day on the Greensburl news channel.

Posted by: Mrs Smith at June 17, 2010 2:33 PM

Oh, heavens. Not nastiness in these most hallowed and genteel grounds. Truly the vulgarians have won. I must retire to my fainting divan perchance I am overcome with the vapors.

Posted by: Tracer Bullet at June 17, 2010 2:34 PM

What a relief! I was getting so tired of clutching my pearls.

Posted by: Mrs. Julien at June 17, 2010 2:38 PM

how would Sasquatch go on vacation?

Any damn way he wants

Posted by: mswas at June 17, 2010 2:41 PM

That list of best dumb characters on TV is suffering from a severe lack of Thomas Hayden Church on Wings.
And maybe Larry, Darryl, and Darryl from Newhart.

MRS. JULIEN,
What you said is funny because it's racist! (H/T Daniel Tosh)

Posted by: Kballs at June 17, 2010 2:41 PM

Touché, madame, touché.

Posted by: MM at June 17, 2010 2:43 PM

What? Huh? What?

All this pearl clutching has temporarily confused me.

It's Mr. Feist's way of trying to make us feel old. But we'll have the last laugh--he probably has no idea who Monroe is!

Posted by: Jay at June 17, 2010 2:53 PM

Somebody hurry, Tracer's passed out and bent all over his divan and has expressed his fondness for pearls!

Posted by: admin at June 17, 2010 2:56 PM

You know what? Good for Elton John. If offered enough money, I'd sing at Limbaugh's wedding too. My employers don't have to agree with my politics, they just have to damn well pay me and be pleasant when I'm around. Shit, even my friends don't have to hold my political views. I like a little variety.

Also, I need Calista Flockhart's dress. Someone work on that for me.

Posted by: stardust at June 17, 2010 3:50 PM

@Stardust - It really is fabulous, isn't it?

I (that capital was for emphasis) would do many things if offered enough money, but I am not Elton John the Gazillionaire Musician. I find it disheartening that he was willing to prostitute himself like that. It would only have made sense if he had turned around and donated the fee to a gay rights cause.

Posted by: Mrs. Julien at June 17, 2010 4:10 PM

I mean honestly, he's as bad as Whoopi "Polanski's crime wasn't 'rape' rape" Goldberg who will defend anyone in Hollywood who misbehaves.

Honestly!

Posted by: Mrs. Julien at June 17, 2010 4:12 PM

If my employers and/or friends were actively campaigning for my spouse to be unable to adopt my children/inherit my estate in case of my untimely death then I would politely decline to attend the wedding and slash the tires on their damn limo. Also I'd probably piss on the wedding cake, but I'm kind of a jerk.

Posted by: Mrcreosote at June 17, 2010 4:39 PM

Mrcreosote - Huzzah!

Posted by: Mrs. Julien at June 17, 2010 5:01 PM

OK, I have to protest the inclusion of Anya on the list of dumb. She is NOT dumb. She's a former demon who became a demon sometimes in the 14th?/15th? century or so, ie, she was a human way back when, then became a demon, then was undemonized sometimes in the 20th century. So not dumb, just odd. Delightfully so.

Posted by: Slash at June 17, 2010 6:23 PM

How could the top ten dumb characters list leave off Woody from Cheers!?! Harrelson is so good I thought he really was that stupid until White Men Can't Jump came out.

Posted by: Mebe at June 17, 2010 6:55 PM

Slash: totes agree Anya was just socially "special." She apparently was a master at finance. That list sux.

Posted by: Mebe at June 17, 2010 6:59 PM

Of course, Woody replaced the master on Cheers.

Was Archie Bunker dumb or just ignorant and uneducated?

One ep they're playing a game, seeing who can guess the name of the big-band leader from initials. Archie says he's got one: "E.C."

After several guesses, everyone gives up.

Archie, beaming because he put one over on Meathead, says:

"eXavier Cougat."

WHY ARE THEY FUCKING WITH PREDATOR???

I would have thought that Rodriguez would be one of the ones who would leave the "let's remake EVERYTHING" shit alone.

But then again, he is responsible for that Spy Kids crap, so....

What a butthole.
