Bounty Hunter Trailer

I! Am! Caveman! Actor!

By Dustin Rowles | Posted Under Trade News | Comments (21)

Eerrrrrrgrrrraaaaah. Bounty Hunter, the trailer. Below. Eerrrrggraaaah. Make it stop. Please Mr. Gerard Butler, go back to movies that require little in the way of speaking from you. At least, when you’re not wearing a shirt, it distracts some attention away from the fact that you’re perhaps the worst romantic comedy actor in the history of romantic comedies. And that includes Ashton Kutcher. This movie looks like a cinematic hangover, and Butler’s voice is like an 8 a.m. jackhammer in front of your house.

But hey! The guy’s such a bad actor that he managed to make Katherine Heigl seem somewhat talented, by comparison, in The Ugly Truth. Just imagine what he can do for Jennifer Aniston. Eerrrrrrgrrrraaaaah.

I’m going back to bed. It’s too early for this shit.

I can't bring myself to watch it, the Butler hatred is too strong. What accent is he attempting? Cos his garbled Irish/Scottish/American thing he did in PS I Love You showed he cannot do them well.

Let's all ignore that yes, I did watch that film. IT HAD JEFFREY DEAN MORGAN IN IT DAMN IT!

I'm glad someone agrees with me about Butler.

His "American accent" is embarrassingly bad. He sounds like he's gargling sand and pebbles while delivering lines.

Come to think of - it was only a matter of time until he got billed on a movie with Jennifer Aniston. They fill the exact same useless overpaid role for the opposing gender.

I think he's a fine actor when he's not in a romantic comedy. I watched RocknRolla this week and thought he was pretty good.

Words cannot express how much I do not want to see this movie.

Does anyone else find it hilarious that Jennifer Aniston's interpretation of "acting" is "I'll let my hair look a little less groomed"?

Well, I watched it, and I have to say....just to see GB FULL-BODY TACKLE Assiston was worth the eye bleach and eardrum transplants I now need.

I'd prefer if they just called this "MILO AND OH THIS IS A PIECE OF CRAP BUT WE'RE ALL MAKING A SHIT TON OF MONEY OFF OF YOU SO FORK IT OVER"

Ugh, when did his face get so chubby? Has it always been that way?

There was a time when I actually liked romantic comedies? Have they gotten worse or have I gotten wiser?

I don't know how to say this, so I'm going to come right out with it. Maybe it's the holiday cheer in the air, but I actually chuckled because of this trailer. Not AT this trailer, but because of it. I'm going to go sit in a corner and think about what I've done...

Oh god. The Stones. NOT the Stones!

Man this looks like some trite shit. I'm with lainiefig here, have I gotten smarter, or have rom-coms gotten stupider? I haven't seen one in ages, they're all just crap.

Also, I'm upset about this whole Butler thing. His natural accent is super sessy and he is very easy on the eyes (though I agree that he's currently looking a bit puffy. Don't go down the Luke Wilson path, Ger-bear!), and now I want to completely avoid everything he's in because it's ass.

So how long into filming did the director realize he could save money on this sure-thing dumpster fire of a movie by not having wardrobe change Gerard's shirt of Aniston's dress? 10 minutes? 5?

Posted by: D-Day at December 18, 2009 11:34 AM

Oh come ON. One of Butler's few saving graces is his scottish accent. So why fucking take that away, specially when his American accent is so goddamn terrible?

Couldn't watch more than 24 seconds. Nope.

Wow, just wow. I cannot express how awful this movie looks. The bad Butler accent, bad Aniston schtick. I actually visibly cringed when he said "I know when you are fake crying, buh bye." I am going to nurse my wounds from this trailer by re-watching The Princess Bride.

Katers, seriously, what is up with Luke Wilson's face lately? He looks like was stung by a swarm of seriously pissed off bees.

Posted by: lainiefig at December 18, 2009 12:02 PM

No,...just no.

The permatan, restylane and juvaderm needs to be forcibly removed from aniston's claws, as does her deathgrip on acting and sounding 12 when she's what? 42? He needs lipo on the balls of his cheeks, a razor and a new hair dye (seriously dude, elvis' hair was not that black). More importantly, they need to stop attacking us with these bad rom-coms, Aniston is the worst offender - other actresses in this part may have made up for the bad material by being somewhat appealing on some level (see Bullock, see Heigl, see Hudson, see anyone at my local PTA for God's sake) - but Aniston cannot do it. She can't.

lainiefig, I know, it makes me sad. He used to be so very cute but now he looks kinda like Popeye, or the red-haired kid from Rugrats. Square jaws do not look awesome when they get super jowly.

Anyone else notice that this is totally bit off Mr & Mrs Smith?

I didn't read the comments above so sorry if someone did. :)

From what this trailer has shown, it's not just Gerard who's looking like a Tetraodontidae on a bad day.

Is it just me, or do they both look super ruddy-cheeked, puffy-faced, worn-down, and worse for the wear in the flick?

And the film looks like absolute rubbish.

May the Man Upstairs smite me with eye cancer if I ever watch anything like this.

I think He already gave me a warning when I got pinkeye after viewing "The Ugly Truth". It is fitting a punishment for taking for granted the gift of sight and willfully subjecting it to a celluloid enema.
