The Charming Potato Image Re-Invention Project, Vol. 2.0

Hand to God, when I started writing this post, I literally could not remember Channing Tatum’s name. Every time I tried to type it out, it came out as Charming Potato. You can all thank commenter MikeyLikesIt for that, since he’s the brilliant son of a whore who came up with the nickname. I tip my cap to you, Mr. LikesIt.

In any event, here’s the trailer for The Son Of No One. It’s one of those murky cop dramas about duty and honor and family and some cops being crooked and some crooks being noble and all that crap. It’s yet another effort from Potato to prove that he’s a legit actor. Part of me wishes him luck, since he does seem like a nice guy, and he’s got his cute wife that he met on the set of whatever that goddamn dance movie was, and Michael Mann saw fit to give him 14 seconds in Public Enemies. Also, then we could finally retire the fucking Potato joke.

But first he has to prove himself. Not before. Never before, Mr. Potato.

Regardless, the cast for this flick is a strange and wondrous beast — Al Pacino, Juliette Binoche, Ray Liotta… and Tracey Morgan and Katie Holmes. And Charming Potato.

I feel like I need to lie down.

Whatever, it’s Monday, so we’re all a little fucked up. Here’s the trailer:

Even my husband, who has never ever read Pajiba, refers to Channing Tatum - or any other young bland actor, or sometimes small children or pets - as Charming 'Tater. It's spreading like wildfire.

I dunno, Tatum was well cast in A Guide To Recognizing Your Saints in my opinion. I haven't seen anything else he's done because it all. of. it. looks like pure mindless drivel.

And that mustache he has goin' on in that trailer is ew. Let me slap whoever's idea that was.

Molestaches for everyone!

Looks like Standard Cop Movie Plot #4. No thanks.

Not for nothing, but I cringe/sigh/roll my eyes every time I read "Charming Potato." It's the kind of name-change wordplay one would find on an elementary school playground or maybe in a Kathy comic strip. Right? I cannot be the only one who thinks this.

Wait, I'm confused. Is having the username "Pacion In Devil's Advocate" some sort of far more mature, devilishly clever name-change wordplay? It must be, because I sure as shit don't get it.

I think Charming Potato is hilarious. Not exactly highbrow, but still, it's funny.

I think Pacion was the guy who had the kid in the trunk of his car...or maybe his head fell off into Robin Tunney's lap in that subway scene.
No, no, I know where I know that name -- Pacion works at the Subway down the street from my apartment. He's missing two fingers on his left hand, and he can never keep the meatballs on the rool.

OOOoooooooh... SNAP! that mustache...
Now he really REALLY looks like Mr Potato Head!
I bet he did it on purpose for the sake of Pajiba and all the pajibans, because I see no other/better reason for it, honestly.
It's an obvious statement that conveys he's deep approval of the nickname he was given here.

direct to video, available at walmart and finer gas stations everywhere.

how glorious would it be if tracy fucking morgan brings the thunder in this film and emerges as one of the great dramatic actors of our generation?

that would make my year...a guy can dream can't he?

I for one am contacting my congressman with an eye to drafting legislation requiring all AutoCorrect and Spellcheck software to replace all instances of "Channing Tatum" typed into any computer, regardless of system language, with "Charming Potato."

I thought Tracy only does serious movies about the Holocaust, Georgia O'Keefe, or both.

My impression of Mr. CT is that he would laugh if he heard he was being called Charming Potato.

He was fabulous in A Guide to Recognizing Your Saints. Sadly, his skills have not appreciably increased since then, although he was also the best thing about The Dilemma.
