I’ve always had a fondness for Josh Lucas. He makes terrible movies, but he has an easygoing likable thing going for him, and you gotta admit that (real) Southern accent he sported in Sweet Home Alabama had a certain pantie-wetting factor. Sadly, it looks like, in his effort to make the A-list, he overshot with the risible Poseidon, and we’ve barely seen him since.

So, what does an actor do when his career is stalling? He gets naked for a movie that looks as though it’s only audience will be on late-night HBO. Below is the trailer for Death in Love which stars, in addition to Lucas, Adam Brody, Jacqueline Bisset, and Lukas Haas. It debuted at Sundance in January 2008 and it’s been sitting on a shelf every since, probably because — at least going by the trailer — it looks fairly incoherent. It’s about a guy who runs a scam modeling agency who has become bored with sex and life in general, until he meets a younger man (Brody) who brings to his life some excitement and purpose.

Whatever. There’s a lot of ass in the trailer, if that’s your bag.

Compared to most of the shit we get to watch this might actually be intesting. I'd definitely watch it if I get the chance.

I don't understand. What is this movie about?

Also, what's with all the Nazis lately? They're everywhere, man.

Nazis are the new vampires. With less glitter.

There was, in fact, a lot of ass in that trailer. Most of it was in the plot and the dialogue, but a fair amount of it was in Lucas' acting too.

Yeah, but at the end, is everything zen?

That's way too many empty platitudes for one trailer.

No there isn't and no it's not -- but that doesn't make you any less of a liar.

Why no mention of that achingly lame voiceover at the beginning of the trailer? The dialog is College Writing Class bad...

Nazis are the only ones were allowed to hate anymore. It's not pc to hate terrorists or other nationalities, but Nazis are still fair game.

I think they should start using reality show stars as the new bad guys in movies. It would solve two problems at once if they could be shot with real bullets at the end.

Blah, blah, blah...life is so beautiful and sad if you live as if every thought you have is deep and meaningful. And is it just me, or is Josh Lucas gaining a few? Or does he just need some better lighting?

That's the picture I found next to the entry for douche in my dictionary.

I always have a hard time telling Josh Lucas apart from Bradley Cooper. They're both so...blonde and bland.

Vee, I don't think so.

We have to fall back on Nazis as villains because they're easily recognisable. They had uniforms and a snazzily designed logo and the civilised world declared war on them.

These days everything's a lot more ambiguous. You don't have to be at war with anyone for them to go around blowing stuff up. Attempting to use Middle Eastern terrorists as a villain gets you into some murky territory.

But Nazis - no one's gonna call you out for hating on Nazis!

Sigh. Everything was so much simpler back in the forties.

Silly me. I thought it was just because they're always white.

Why is that man wearing Harry Hill's shirt?
