RIPPA

Recommended Posts

Any time a film is "From the Producers" of some movie that wasn't thought well of in the first place, be afraid.

I am assuming none of you watched that Debra Messing trailer since there is no outrage over what the the Dad called a "powerbomb"

"From the Producers of Springtime for Hitler."

 

And one of the writers of Movie 43...

 

 

One of the several dozen writers of Movie 43 not named Bob Odenkirk*

How about if they pick the wrong movies for the people:

 

From the mind that brought you PROMETHEUS.  ("Ew...OH, wait..yeah...okay, maybe.")

And the director of the PLANET OF THE APES the one from back around the late 90s or so ("OKAY...yeah that was...oh...NO...oh. shit")

 

Comes a story inspired by the music from that guy who did Radio K.A.O.S.  ("fuck..was that Townsend?  No...OHHHHHHHHHH...but which..hmmmm...")

 

IT'S REALLY HARD TO TELL IF I WANT TO SEE THIS!!!!

For Prometheus, it would have to be Lindelof because the other guys were directing and producing better stuff when Lindelof was still in his dad's balls. Now if they would hyped up Prometheus as "from the mind behind Brewster's Millions and Undisputed", I would've walked out of the theater during the previews and not walked back in.

So here's an interesting development from TV land...

Despite being one of the leaders of the Golden Age of TV drama, FX has never launched a drama on Sunday night.

That changes this summer when Guillermo del Toro's THE STRAIN debuts on July 13th. They must be pretty confident in what they have there.

That playbill is a joke from the new HEDWIG revival with NPH.  The gag is that HEDWIG is taking place within what's left of a production of THE HURT LOCKER: THE MUSICAL.  (starring Taye Diggs) which was so bad that it closed during the first of its three intermissions. There is a complete fake playbill for that within the HEDWIG playbill.

 

The funniest bit is that there is a child actor listed as: Hunter Taylor Thompson-Tyler, which is just barely unbelievable.

 

IT has a musical number titled "What's with all these goats?"

 

Another "actress" is listed with the following credits: Broadway: Face Down Ass Up" The 2 Live Crew Musical (Ass Cheek #1); Law and Order: (Dead Raped Girl, "CSI" (Raped Dead Girl) CSI SCRANTON (Dead Raped Prostitute) True Detective (Dead Female Body Decorated with Twigs and Antlers).

 

It also lists Metallica with a note that they quit over creative differences after two days and none of their music is included, but they are included in the playbill to piss them off and sell some tickets.

 

Yeah.  It's hit and miss.  But you can enjoy it all here"

The fake Hurt Locker thing starts on page 12.  There are some funny bits.  Some of the upcoming productions like:

 

"The Entire Bible"

performed by Fiona Shaw

From "The Bible" written by God

 

"Jesus Christ, That was Long"...Staten Island Gazette
