Stewie's Movie of the (Insert Trivial Amount of Time) part whatever: Annie Hall | Posted on Men On Film by Stewie Griffin on Nov 20, 2009 at 1:57 pm |  | |
  1977 Best Picture at the Academy Awards
With that said, I want to pick this movie blog back up. It was a good idea, and it's always worth it to foster good cinematic vibes amongst the honorable members of the Movie/TV board.
Let's jump on it, shall we?
Our movie this week: Annie Hall
They say a picture is worth a thousand words. This picture is probably worth a million, all of which Woody Allen manages to pack into one of the wittiest, most endearing yet simultaneously annoying (because it's too true) scripts of all time. Allen plays Alvy Singer (Essentially himself), a fairly prominent comedian struggling to find love and happiness from the world. The problem is he doesn't like himself very much, despite his best efforts, and thus he can't settle on any woman who reciprocates a relationship's attraction.
Alongside Allen is Diane Keaton, who starts as the titular, charming Annie. She's clumsy, goofy, and awkward...and lovable. The movie is made by Allen's chemistry with Keaton, whose conversations are both maddening and hilarious.
The movie is not only a dialogue-driven gem: it's narratively unique in its own right. Allen takes liberties with traditional story-telling techniques to both personalize the story and also to make it more relatable. It's not so much a love story as it is a life story. Allen captures both his own sentiments as well as those of anyone who has ever struggled to settle in life. Allen and Keaton's mannerisms and wordplay captures all the awkwardness, comfortability, frustration, and elation which polarizes love so much
What can I say? You have to see this movie. It's brilliant in all aspects, damn quotable, and it will make you look at your own relationships in a new light. Also, it's a great social commentary on our psycho-therapy addicted culture, presenting both the positive and negative light of our culture's submerged mental health crisis.
If you haven't seen an Allen film, start here. If you have seen Allen, end here.

Remake. Remake. Remake. REMAKE. REMAKE! REMAKE!!!!! AIIIEEEE!!!!! | Posted on Laughing AT Hollywood by Unknown on Jun 11, 2009 at 11:25 pm | | |
Dear Aa-hole Producer, whoops, sorry where are my manners. Let me start over.
Dear Mr. a-hole Producer,
While sitting here twirling my chest hair a brilliant idea hit me. Since you dickholes are so obsessed with remakes I think you should remake the first time I had sex. It involves me, my ass-grabbing drunk aunt, a Kid Cuisine and a lot of crying. Sure it might not be as enthralling as watching Zac Efron awkwardly playing a heterosexual but at least its watchable. Please let me know when you plan on mailing me a check (regular size please, not one of those huge arse Publisher Clearing House checks).
God Bless,
Hunky Unkie
Did reading these remakes make anyone else’s fists clinch in anger? Me too. Lets go get some hookers and coke! You buy now. I'll buy when I get my check!

Danny Devito + drunk + on set of Always Sunny in Phily + uncomfortable reporter ='s | Posted on Laughing AT Hollywood by Unknown on Jun 10, 2009 at 11:35 pm | | |
Ever wondered what it would be like to watch Danny Devito get drunk and talk about vagina's? Yeah me neither, but here it is anyways. Booze....ahhh, the solver of so many of life's mysteries.
While watching this I laughed. I cried. And I too wondered what the baby looked like while shooting out between her legs. And if that's wrong then I don't want to be sober. But seriously, I was disgusted by Danny's drunken appearance and am VERY upset. I found it to be unprofessional, sexist and DISGRACEFUL! Way to go Danny, this is why we alcoholics can't have nice things nor be interviewed by TV morning show reporters >:(
Update: At the 2:00 mark I am pretty sure Danny belches. Or maybe he lifts his head up from his beer can for a gasp of air in the same way a sperm whale would gently lifts its nose out of the water to inhale mother natures nutritious ocean air. Either way I laughed. What a true thespian.

New 'Piranha' movie wont suck at all because its going to be in 3-D | Posted on Laughing AT Hollywood by Unknown on Jun 8, 2009 at 10:51 pm | | |
The link goes to some chicks on the set. FYI I'd totally make love to these two hotties. And when I say "love" I mean tie them to a chain link fence and spank them with lunch meat while I give myself a purple nurple. Damn! Is anyone else getting a boner or is it just me? (kidding! I know you have one too, stinkin pervert). DAMN MY SEXY IMAGINATION! I should write some romance novels.
update: Might not be SFW depending on your employers stance on chicks in bikinis.

I found Waldo! and he's about to be on your movie screen | Posted on Laughing AT Hollywood by Unknown on Jun 8, 2009 at 10:03 pm | | |
quote:
the studio slated to bring us live-action renditions of Monopoly, Candy Land and Battleship, just settled a deal to bring back yet another childhood favorite. This time, Universal has given up on the board-game theme in favor of kid-lit. In all fairness, the phrase "kid-lit" might be a bit misleading, as the book series the film will be based on, Where's Waldo?, isn't big on words. more
FINALLY! I admit I have all the books and even have a where's Waldo costume. Then I go to the mall and ask kids if they want some candy. Hey, if god frowned badly upon that then he shouldn't have made kids so damn cute. Now, back to Wheres Waldo: the movie, I know what you are pondering. You're thinking "Hell, I hope those jackass Hollywood producers don't screw up this plot by incorporating dinosaurs or robots or....".

Hangover 2, Malcom in the Middle, and Full House the movie | Posted on Laughing AT Hollywood by Unknown on Jun 8, 2009 at 12:32 am | | |
Where else can you not watch Malcom in the Middle? Nick at Nite on Sunday-Thursday at 8 p.m. starting July 5. First, we get a black president and now, THIS. Say, this reminds me of a funny family story -- I hate my family. Ok, maybe not so much funny "ha ha" as it is funny "oohh that's sad".
Ready for Full House the movie? No? Well tough shite.
quote:
John Stamos, who played Uncle Jesse, says he's "working on a movie idea,"
Whoa...wait....who is the chick? Is that Stephanie?
Well I've got TWO reasons to watch! "WHO ELSE WANTS TO SEE STEPHYS BOOBIES ALL GROWN UP SAY YEEEAAAAAAAAAH!"
quote:
but it won't feature the original sitcom's cast.
So basically Stamos needs a check really bad so hes going to recycle that idiotic TV show to a even more idiotic Hollywood producer. Yayyyy! Well I for one dig me some recycling. How else can I turn empty beer bottles into a dime bag. Hey Uncle Jessie, go deep throat a porcupine you bastard.

Adventures of L. Ron Hubbard Cassidy and the Pillow Biting Kid | Posted on Laughing AT Hollywood by Unknown on Apr 6, 2009 at 11:32 pm | | |
 quote:
Rumor has it, Tom Cruise is planning a remake to western classic "Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid". The Daily Express suggested the matter, writing that the 46-year-old actor/producer intends to produce the remake movie through his United Artists and that a senior executive has said the actor has interviewed potential screenwriters.
In addition to producing the remake, the actor who is last seen starring as Claus von Stauffenberg in "Valkyrie" reportedly eyes to play Sundance, who was played by Robert Redford in the original film. He is also said to be using the project as the chance to work together with John Travolta, who allegedly will fill in the shoes of Paul Newman's Cassidy. more
Well there you have it. A "Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid" remake staring Tom Cruise and John Travolta.
This is awkward.
I'm speechless.
Honestly don't know what to say now. Maybe I should say something motivational? How about: "what doesn't kill you only makes you --- wish it did because who the hell wants to see two homosexual Scientologists frick up "Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid!!!!"
Rumor has it that on the opening night of this movie when people walk into the theater a large burly man in a "I Heart Thetan's" t-shirt will kick you in the dick and steal your wallet. HAHAHAHA! But seriously, if getting kicked in the junk is your thing then give my girlfriend a call at 337-418-xxxx.
Sweet dreams!
edit: told to take the number down >:( sorry babe!

4 words no one wants to hear: Ben Stiller romantic comedy | Posted on Laughing AT Hollywood by Unknown on Apr 6, 2009 at 12:19 am | | |
 quote:
Ben Stiller romantic comedy, blah blah blah. Or is it? After reading a press release from Focus Feature several times through, I’m getting the feeling that one of Stiller’s upcoming films may have a more serious tone than what we are used to seeing from the funnyman. more
Jesus, what the frick? A Ben Stiller movie is bad enough when its masquerading as a so-called comedy. Now Stiller is branching off into unfunny drama-edy territory? Someone call Adam Sandler and tell him he’s got competition. Ben, how about taking a peek at a screenplay I originally wrote for Sean Penn. Let me just edit Seans name out and replace yours:
Ben Stiller drives home. Tired. The smell of unfunny and smug reeks on his clothes. A man walks out of the bushes as Bens car pulls into the drive way.
Unk: Hey Ben!
Ben gets out of the car
Ben Stiller: Hi. How are y….
Gunshot
Gunshot

Unk: DIE MOTHERfrickER! DIE DIE DIE DIE!

Wizard of Oz is getting redone---like it or not | Posted on Laughing AT Hollywood by Unknown on Apr 6, 2009 at 12:09 am | | |
 quote:
Jason Katims ("Friday Night Lights," Parenthood) is overseeing a a modern-day take on "The Wizard of Oz" at NBC. The drama "Dorothy Gale" comes from "Friday Night Lights" writer Bridget Carpenter, who is executive producing; Katims will serve as a non-writing executive producer with Meryl Poster. The script follows the story of Dorothy, a girl from Kansas who tries to tackle modern-day Manhattan (her version of the Emerald City). Dorothy finds a job in the art world -- and must deal with a wicked boss. more
Ohhhhh! Parenthood! Well, there you have it. Because when I think "what asshat has the right to re-do the Wizard of Oz?" I immediately think of anyone attached to PARENTHOOD! How can this possibly fail? This guy knows his stuff. But seriously, cant we all come to the same rational conclusion that this is a effen stupid idea? And trust me, I know stupid ideas:
My attempt to bring back Parachute Pants.
My left handed pencil.
My idea for a Blackhawk helicopter with ejector seats. FU USAF!
My first marriage.
Buying a movie ticket to “I Love You Man” last night.
And the list goes on and on  and on and on
