Wait a Minute, Am I Being Punk'D? Oh My God! Ashton, You Really Got Me!

Goddamnit, Ryan Reynolds. We thought you’d turned a corner there, buddy. You’re in the fifth highest-grossing romantic comedy of all time; you’re attached to two superhero franchises. You just took a role vacated by Tom Cruise. And you’ve wrapped up filming on a very cool looking indie flick in which you’re buried alive for the duration of the film.

But then, it’s like: “Wait a second! I’m Ryan Reynolds. I make poorly conceived comedies. That’s my wheelhouse! That’s what made me the semi-obscure Canadian actor who that dude on that silly-sounding website crushes on!”

Oh, Ryan. Believe me, it wasn’t Just Friends or Waiting that did it for me. You’re past that bullshit now. Don’t regress. It’s bad enough that you have signed on for a dude-in-drag film — the worst of all poorly conceived comedies. But now … now! You’re reteaming with your Just Friends co-star, Anna Faris.

To what end, R-squared? TO WHAT END?

The end, apparently, is TMI, a Universal purchased screenplay, which proposes that, while honesty is the best policy for a relationship, “too much information” might not be the best thing. And look at this pedigree: From the scriptwriter behind Serendipity and the producer of the upcoming Old Dogs.

Fuckin’ hell, Double R.

Not that it speaks much better for Faris, either, who looked like she was turning a corner in her career with a semi-adventurous role in Observe and Report. But no. In addition to TMI (seriously: it’s actually called that?) she’s also now attached to the latest Robin Williams comedic abortion, Wedding Banned. In it Williams will play a husband who teams up with his ex-wife to kidnap their daughter to prevent her from getting married in a movie scripted by the guys behind The Shaggy Dog.

The honeymoon is over already?

Another Robin Williams family comedy? And so soon after Old Dogs? What's wrong with the world?

I swear, some actors just seem to take any script (Christopher Walken) or just genuinely believe every movie they make is a masterpiece (Rob Schneider, hey, I never said good actor).

I can understand the concept of "striking when the iron is hot" but not "waiting until the iron is hot and immediately dousing it in pig piss".
These career moves do not bode well for Ms. Faris or
Mr. Reynolds.

"while honesty is the best policy for a relationship,“too much information” might not be the best thing."

True that. I say be careful turning over rocks, you never know what might just jump out and bite you in the face.

Wow, just wow.

Try and keep a little of your dignity at least, Rowles.

True that. I say be careful turning over rock-hard abs, you never know what terrible judgement might jump out and bite your movie career in the face.

I would never turn over someone with rock hard abs. You can't nibble on their rippling man flesh that way.

Not a buttock/back woman I see.

As for you Rowles, I'm disappointed that you're only a fair weather stalker.

Posted by: admin at November 17, 2009 4:27 PM

Don't try and pigeonhole me. Actually, I am a bit of an ass woman, but if the rock hard abs were the major selling point, who am I to overlook them.

Posted by: Lindsey with an 'e' at November 17, 2009 4:30 PM

Sometimes you hit a home run, sometimes you hit a foul ball that hits some little kid in the head and kills them. They can't all be winners, right?

Posted by: MM at November 17, 2009 4:34 PM

i always disliked Ryan Reynolds acting even Ben Affleck in this worst bad bays acts better!

That is it! Ok Rowles you and me, we are gonna stage an intervention! Double R needs us!

Heres the plan we go undercover as two travelling mounties you get the costumes I'll grab the horses, we head to his New York pad under the guise of passing on a message from his family (Canada's small they all know each other there) Given his sweet, generous canadian nature he will invite us in for coffee, cake and a talk aboot the weather. Once in Ill take out the Johanssen with a well aimed vulcan neck grip, you distract Reynolds with a discussion about how beautifully subversive you found 'Waiting' and what a brilliant social commentry it was on the all too prevalent issue of the struggle for young twenty somethings in a world ill equipped to offer them the unrealistic dreams of job security financial stability they were promised at the start of there academic career, through the subtle use of comedy and slap stick-ery. Or how hes gets those abs...play it how you think.
Once he is deep in thought I'll come up behind him and knock him out. We load him into the trunk of our car and hit the high way for road trip filled with hilarity, confessions, beautiful, gut wrenching, heart felt monologues about how he is wasting his God Given talent and Abs on awful, pathetically written films not fit for human consumption (these of course will be given by Rowles as he rends his garments, tears streaming down his face, voice breaking.....) and the kind of life changing realisation that comes from bonding with your kidnappers and begging the police not to kill them as they hit the mexican border, as seen in many indie films.

You and I, Rowles? we go out in a hail of bullets but Reynolds he goes on, further, higher than anyone ever dreamed Yes thats right he has a number one box office hit in a DRAMA.

So Dustin are you in?

"well aimed vulcan neck grip..."


Obviously, you meant to write Vulcan neck pinch.

Posted by: BarbadoSlim at November 17, 2009 5:19 PM

Oh, Dustin, you try to fool us with your carefully rehearsed "anger" and "disappointment." Truth is, you'll be first in line at the theatre when this flick opens. We all know you're secretly thanking your lucky little stars that WhyWhy is making another shitty romantic comedy. They're your favorite, he's your favorite - face it, the very idea of TMI has made 2010 for you, and it ain't even here yet.

Posted by: Kolby at November 17, 2009 5:23 PM

I have freakishly small hands. For me a grip is a pinch.

Posted by: nieve at November 17, 2009 5:32 PM

Carnival folk, Nieve? Smell of cabbage?

Posted by: mrcreosote at November 17, 2009 6:13 PM

I think I'd like to hang out with Nieve. At least until the bullets start flying.

Posted by: Kelly at November 17, 2009 6:34 PM

I aint a Carnie!!!!! I...just have slightly child like hands.......the kind of hands thats cause bar staff to constantly ask for my id and make carrying more than one object in each hand a real effort. Its why I cant juggle-that and the obvious clown connection.
And no I dont smell of cabbage...its more candy floss and ketchup.
Come on board Kelly! we need a wing man, the kind who says nothing with their mouth but everything with their eyes (and almost always survives the massacre to kidnapp another day)

Posted by: Nieve at November 17, 2009 6:51 PM

I love Faris, I love Reynolds. If this film is about the two taking a crap in eachother's mouth I'll still be there.

Posted by: Returnofthesmith at November 17, 2009 7:00 PM

Anna Faris turned away from that possibly serious corner years ago after killing it in May and Brokeback Mountain. She's given many interviews claiming she hated forcing herself to do "serious" work and has no intention of going back to it ever again. Observe and Report has her playing a drugged up slut who may or may not have condoned a date rape under the influence of pharmaceuticals. Not exactly the classiest career move.

I mean, we all can't be poor little white girls chained to radiators by benevolent old black men like Christina Ricci. Some of us know our limits.

Calm yourself Dustin...breathe in...breathe out...Ry Ry will make it through this...

Mrs. Admin? Yet more Canadian cooch?

I love this site.

I'm kind of with what I think Robert is saying here. Mopey isn't automatically better. That being said, Robin Williams comedies of the last decade plus are indeed always shit.

She stars in movies too, ,. In my personal opinion, they are far better than this blumpkin.
