Tim Hill to Direct WALTER THE FARTING DOG

Here?s the synopsis for the book:

We hold this truth to be self-evident: farting makes kids laugh. Walter, an apologetic-looking dog adopted from the pound, passes gas morning, noon, and night, no matter what he eats, whether it?s a 25-pound bag of low-fart dog biscuits, cat food, or fried chicken. On the bright side, ?If Uncle Irv let one slip, he just went and stood near Walter.? When Father reaches the limit of his patience with Walter?s flatulence, he decides the pooch is once again pound-bound, despite Betty and Billy?s pleading. Poor Walter knows his days are numbered and ?He resolved to hold in his farts forever.? That very night, two burglars break into Walter?s family?s house, and (you can see where this is going) Walter gasses the burglars with a ?hideous cloud? that forces them to drop their loot and run into the clutches of the police officers, ?choking and gasping for air.? The next morning Father and Mother discover Walter has saved the day?or at least their silverware and VCR. ?And so the family learned to live with Walter, the hero dog. And that is the end of our tail.? (Or is it? Fans will be pleased to discover the next book Walter the Farting Dog: Trouble at the Yard Sale.) Audrey Colman?s highly stylized illustrations, imbued with a surreal, Monty Pythonesque collage look, are as absurdly comical as this silly story that is purely powered by natural gas. [Amazon]

A VERY HAROLD & KUMAR 3D CHRISTMAS Movie Image

After years of growing apart, Harold Lee and Kumar Patel have replaced each other with new friends and are preparing for their respective Yuletide celebrations. But when a mysterious package mistakenly arrives at Kumar?s door on Christmas Eve, his attempt to redirect it to Harold?s house ends with the ?high grade? contents ? and Harold?s father-in-law?s prize Christmas tree ? going up in smoke. With his in-laws out of the house for the day, Harold decides to cover his tracks, rather than come clean. Reluctantly embarking on another ill-advised journey with Kumar through New York City, their search for the perfect replacement tree takes them through party heaven ? and almost blows Christmas Eve sky high.

The official Three Stooges FB page posted that crap and had plenty of people unliking their page (including me). Moe, Curly, Larry, Shemp and the Joes are rolling in their graves. Putting this in the present day=fail.
 
First Look At Jennifer Garner In ‘Butter’ > The Playlist

Butter.jpg


One film that is pretty high on our must-see list at TIFF this year is “Butter,” a film that boasts an outrageously good all-star cast—Jennifer Garner, Hugh Jackman, Olivia Wilde, Alicia Silverstone, Rob Corddry, Ashley Greene, Ty Burrell, Yara Shahidi—in a high concept, Black List approved comedy.

Directed by Jim Field Smith (“She’s Out of My League) and written by Jason Micallef, the story follows Laura (Garner), the wife of a former butter sculpting champion Bob (Burrell) who tries to take the mantle from her husband only to be thwarted by a young adopted African American girl (Shahidi), who has discovered that she has a natural talent for making art from out of butter. The offbeat story has a bit of edge to it as it’s apparently an analogy for the 2008 Democratic primaries. In this political allegory, Laura and Bob are obviously Hillary and Bill Clinton, with the the young African girl playing the Barack Obama figure in the story. Whether or not that allusion is pushed hard or not, we’ll soon see, but this has some great potential and well be eager to see how it turns out.

The first one is for Danny McBride being way too overexposed. It would be nice if we could go a few months without seeing him playing the exact same role in some commercial/tv show/movie.

The second one is because I think Bucky Larson : Born to be a Star looks horrible.

30 MINUTES OR LESS Review

Sometimes it’s best for a comedy not to overstay its welcome and we may have become too accustomed to the long comedy. Not all comedies need to be Apatownian with long scenes of riffing and emotional character arcs. 30 Minutes or Less runs like its central character: as if it were about to explode.

Rating: B
