Reeler Pinch Hitter: Josh Horowitz, BetterThanFudge.com
[Note: Reeler editor S.T. VanAirsdale is taking the week off, but the blog is in the good hands of trusted friends and colleagues. Click here for other entries in the series.]
Howdy, gang. Josh Horowitz of BetterThanFudge.com (bookmark it--it’ll make you feel gooood) here with a little contribution as The Reeler does whatever it is he does when not chained to a computer and giggling to himself with glee over the latest selections at BAM. Oh, come on--I kid because I love. And I write to fill space. So here we go…
Lessons Learned from a Summer at the Movies
--All I really need out of a summer blockbuster is Felicity to get her brain fried.
--Judging from his unpleasant facial expressions, I’m convinced Paul Bettany was suffering from IBS throughout The DaVinci Code shoot.
--Having seen Art School Confidential, maybe it’s not the worst thing that Bad Santa was cut without Terry Zwigoff?
--Some movies are about how much the human spirit can endure and some, like Keeping Up with the Steins, actually test how much the human spirit can endure.
--Movies about global warming don’t need scenes of Jake Gyllenhaal being chased by wolves after all.
--Some lines (“I’m the Juggernaut, bitch”) really do read better on paper.
--Making Doc Hollywood into a Pixar film is a waste of a lot of talented people’s time.
--A Prairie Home Companion was pretty good. Does Francis Ford Coppola need a new heart too?
--The Lake House is gonna make a wicked Saturday afternoon TNT combo with Sweet November one day.
--Watching Adam Sandler sob uncontrollably in old age make-up is as uncomfortable for me to watch as it surely was for him to film.
--Do you frigging remember Nuclear Man? You all were way too hard on Superman Returns. For shame…
--I will take Cutthroat Island over that bore of a Pirates sequel any day of the week.
--When Gong Li asks you how fast your motorboat goes, she’s being literal. She wants to know.
--Woody Harrelson might want to consider having his performance animated over every time from here on out.
--Night, I love ya, but no matter how many times you cite it as an influence, Lady in the Water ain’t E.T. It’s more like Batteries Not Included.
--My Super Ex-Girlfriend has more funny in it than you’ve been led to believe.
--“Sugar Tits” Gibson may hate the Jews, but I still love Conspiracy Theory. That’s how big a guy I am.
--Rex Reed just isn’t the limber man we all thought he was.
