Robots In The Region

Apparently they are shooting some of the Transformers sequel at the Smithsonian. That’s as good a reason as any to put up a picture of Megan Fox.

    This sort of brings up this weekend’s dilemma…Anne Hathaway or Jessica Alba? Get Smart or Love Guru? Or maybe both?

    I prefer Keira Knightley, though she could stand to gain 10 pounds. Jessica Alba is too prudish. Anne Hathaway was pretty good in Havoc. ;-)

    Yes, because you have such a good shot at any of them. :-)

    Get Smart or Love Guru?

    Is there really anyone who saw the trailer for Love Guru and didn’t instantly think “This movie is going to suck!”??

    I’m a Leafs fan and I won’t watch Love Guru even if it’s only to see my team win the Stanley Cup in my lifetime.

    Sorry to go back to a previous post, but there seems to be a swath of ‘funny’ films which hang on the ‘abilities’ of the ’star’ to carry them over weak scripting. The people may be funny, and they may have done some good films, but also some stink bombs. I give you:
    Ben Stiller (I haven’t laughed yet)
    Jack Black(Shallow Hal good, School of Rock/Nacho Libre & etc. not.
    Will Ferrell (Anchorman well scripted and therefore funnier, but the rest?
    Mike Myers (I like the man, but a good dose of test screenings needed to hone a funnier product IMO).

    It is my belief that this could be why Jim Carrey and Adam Sandler do both serious films and less frequent comedies (although suck-proofing isn’t available)
    What does anyone else thing.
    Megan Fox looks very orange in this pic.

    I’ll wait for both of them on Netflix.

    I like most of Stiller’s and Ferrell’s movies. Jack Black was good in Orange County and School of Rock and that’s about it. Adam Sandler seems to have given up on being funny after 50 First Dates, and Myers quit after Shrek 2. Jim Carrey needs to go back to being funny, every time he’s tried serious besides Truman Show it’s been a mess.

    I’ll probably go see Get Smart.

    I will never understand why funny guys can’t just be happy to do comedy. They do two or three great comedies then decide they have to be SERIOUS ACTORS and it almost always fails. Ditto for the actresses who are in their roles because they look great and not because they necessarily have acting chops. I don’t look for Megan Fox to do arthouse films, I expect to see her in movies where lots of stuff blows up.

    I think I want to see Tropic Thunder, but I haven’t decided yet.
    It might actually be Ben Stiller not playing the same character since Something About Mary.

    Plus Hellboy and Hancock.

    Thanks Oliver, for a less tango’d picture (Tango= UK orange drink).
    I see nothing wrong with ’star’ films (as opposed to ‘actor’ films; comparing say, Arnie with James Caan). in fact I love a lot of action films (although time travel is also a particular favourite of mine too). Action films are where good looking stars get noticed. My only nitpick is that too often the effects budget swells at the expense of the script, plot and continuity (The old lady having different coloured eyed to Kate Winslett (and the script/plot) in ‘Titanic’ as an example.
    Jack Black pulling faces is not enough to make me laugh. The last really sucky comedy I went to see (without realising from the poster) was ‘Balls of Fury’. Diabolical.

    Dear Mr Willis,

    I’ve been reading your blog practically every day now since the start of 2008, and I must thank you for restoring my illusion that there might actually be one or two thinking people left in the US. Having said that, I have to tell you how irritating I find your habit of regularly posting photo’s of scantilly clad big-boobed bimbo’s on your blog. As a gay man I find it infuriating how hetero guys cannot keep their teststeron-management efforts to themselves. If you’ve ever had to hide your sexuality in a closet, you would realize that one still can be intelligent without frequent assertions of your manliness. I don’t mind using internet for tittilation – I do so myself – but it would be a nice gesture to your non-hetero audience to set up a separate blog just for that purpose, and let the rest of us who do not drool over female flesh continue to savor your enlighting political observations. And don’t go and pretend this posting was mainly to discuss movies – I’m male enough to recognize what part of the brain is being addressed here :-)

    Thanx again for an excellent blog!

    Gerhard: There are many blogs. This one has scantily clad women. Deal.

    I don’t come here for the scantily clad women. Oliver has some interesting things to say and the women are just a bonus. Thanks, Ollie!

    Hey, there are also cartoon superhero men, so, you know…

    Not the same?
