A Pajiban Magic Trick

Drop Dead Sexy / Dustin Rowles

Trade News | July 9, 2009 | Comments (23)

Watch this, folks, as I perform Pajiba’s very first magic trick! The trick? I can make your eyes glaze over before the end of the next paragraph:

Will Smith is developing a family adventure movie with his director from I Am Legend, Francis Lawrence, and screenwriter Andrew Niccol (Gattaca, The Truman Show). It’s about a man who lives on opposites sides of the ocean from his daughter. However, their bond is so strong that it literally causes Manhattan to split off from the United States and float across the ocean.

Did it work? Did it work?

See? Magic!

Is it possible to feel woozy from boredom?

Here’s a nice pick-me up. A trailer for a movie no one has ever heard of. Seriously. A four year old movie starring Jason Lee and Crispin Glover, and I bet not a soul has ever seen it.

Because I have nothing to say about the topic of this post...mostly because I don't understand any of it, I'll just talk about something else instead. Is anyone else watching Torchwood: Children of the Earth? HOLY SHIT, HOW AWESOME IS IT?!?!

That's all...carry on about...whatever.

No mention of the daughter's magic candles? That part nearly gave me diabetes.

Crispin Glover loving up on a corpse ... that makes more sense than it really, truly should.

Oh, I'll look for it on DVD, all right.

gotta go!

Ah, greaaaaaat, Smith doing his...vehement, shtick. In which he confuses "acting" with looking as if he's about to have an aneurysm.

How much you wanna bet his stupid annoying kid is in this.

I'm tempted but I'm not even going to bother.

Terry Bisson should sue Smith for outright IP theft.

"England Underway" is a short story from Bisson's first collection, Bears Discover Fire. Bisson makes England sail to the Americas for similar purposes, but is far less mauldin and certainly more entertaining.

Both book and story are excellent - highly recommended for the Cannonball Read.

Don't you love that recommendation on the DVD box?
"Cool Flick!"

I've never felt more alone than the time when I was the only person in the theater audible laughing at the end of seven pounds.

Why does this sound like "The Ocean Walker" to me?

Posted by: Lester Bangs at July 9, 2009 10:10 PM

Ah, jM, I *heart* you. My friends dragged me to see that stupid movie. I should've made them buy my ticket.

Posted by: MelBivDevoe at July 9, 2009 10:33 PM

Mel. The ONLY reason I went was because my boyfriend's boss bought the tickets. I don't think they appreciated me laughing , though.

And my last comment should say *audibly, *Seven Pounds, and *don't drink and type.

So ... that clip is from "Weekend at Bernadette's"?

Between the writer, actor, and director, this has potential. Plus, the plot is super weird and high-concept. Of course, it'll be ruined by schlock, but there it is.

joker is that on TONIGHT?? God DAMMIT!!

What channel? What country? TELL ME.

More alone than the time you snuck into the Giant Panda Habitat at the National Zoo at midnight?

Posted by: Che Grovera at July 9, 2009 11:58 PM

Lester I was thinking the EXACT same thing!

"Why don't they just walk?"

Posted by: KDigg at July 10, 2009 12:38 AM

Not only have I seen "Drop Dead Sexy", but I have it on DVD. I'd like to say I have a good reason, but really I just saw it in a bargain bin and saw Jason Lee was in it.

$5 later, I have less dignity than I thought possible.

Posted by: Venture82 at July 10, 2009 1:58 AM

Is it bad that I rented "Buying the Cow" just so I can watch Ryan Reynolds be very naked for 90 minutes tonight? It is. Oh, well then go fuck yourself.

Posted by: The Pink Hulk at July 10, 2009 7:43 AM

Joker - yes, my GOD, how awesome is it?! I want to have babies with whoever at the cable network in Australia made the decision to fast track Children of Earth so we don't have to wait. I'd be totally spoiled otherwise - damn internet.

Posted by: TallulahBelle at July 10, 2009 8:47 AM

myysharona, sorry, but I think you'll have to wait in the U.S. Unless you can somehow get BBC UK, because then it's on every night since monday. Today is the final episode, I think.

Tallulah, I actually couldn't believe how good it was. Everyone just suddenly transformed into good actors (looking at you Barrowman) and the story. Whew. Let's not spoil it for our American friends though or we'll get banned.

I don't know why I opened up pajiba when i got home this morning. I should have gone straight to the shower to wash the stink of shame from fisting a lobster to get at its delicious parts, but instead I took my gin soaked ass and opened up pajiba.

I regret this now.

I can't wait for the aliens to come and take away all the fuck-witted Scientologists and their supporters. Will Smith is such a closet nut job it's not even close to funny anymore, can someone please let him know that he is not, and never will be, Denzel? Shit son, not even close.

Posted by: Xtreme at July 10, 2009 11:02 AM

You had me glazed over at "...separated from his daughter." I then wondered if it could get more boring than a hollywood family separation film...it can apparently.
