It will obliterate new movies from Jennifer Lopez and, get this, Johnny Depp. I say "get this" because Johnny Depp is in a major career spin-out. I actually bought the book Don't Point That Thing At Me upon which "Mortdecai" is based, and, while I like the book, the trailers for the movie make it look as if it's not really based much on the book at all.Comments(Jump to bottom of comments)1

My recollection is the book "Don't Point That Thing At Me!" ends with Mordecai hiding in a cave, running out of food, and preparing to shoot it out with the cops.
Imagine my surprise when I discovered there's a second and third book. Posted by: Oschisms at January 23, 2015 05:12 PM (uqV2n) 5

Probably largely because he refuses to stop playing Cpt. Jack Sparrow. We get it, Johnny, you can do cooky semi-effeminate characters. Great. What else can you do?

I don't know that that's true. Overrated? Certainly. "All hype?" Nah. Jack Sparrow was genuinely good. And when he can be serious for 5 minutes, he's not a bad actor. The problem is that ever since Pirates of the Caribbean, he hasn't done anything *except* play Cpt. Jack.

Yeah, that was basically my point. By the 3rd movie, that crap had gotten old. And he doesn't just play Cpt Jack for those movies- it seems like its the only character he plays anymore.

And he doesn't just play Cpt Jack for those movies- it seems like its the only character he plays anymore.

Foxcatcher was a well-made movie. It was Michael Moore level lying, though, telling the audience it was a true story but constantly lying. Almost nothing in the movie was real. The mother was long dead before the wrestling stuff. The shooting happened in the 90s during Clinton, not 80s under Reagan. There was no gay affair with Schultz, none of that happened.

Wes Anderson movies do have a slight undercurrent of loathing for busy bodies and officials who are ruining your life by do-gooding on your behalf like Moonrise Kingdom and the Grand Budapest Hotel I know politics shouldn't be inserted to everything, but it just occurred to me that is a recurring theme of his Posted by: ThunderB, Professional Ball Deflator at January 23, 2015 05:41 PM (zOTsN) 151
O/T I think Eric Erickson secretly reads Ace and is stealing his idea. You guys probably already read it, but his piece today at Red State suggests that Renee Ellmers be first on "A List" to be taken out in 2016 and that if we can't primary her out, we vote for the Dem in the general election.

Trailers made Mordecai look like a manic cross between Poirot and The Thin Man. Or rather, tried to. Except Depp and Paltrow have but a mere shadow of the chemistry that Powell and Loy had, and a tenth of the charisma of David Suchet. I'd rather marathon Poirot on Netflix and sit through this obvious disaster of a film.

Posted by: Lizzy at January 23, 2015 05:50 PM (ABcz/) I didn't even notice that she was Pepper Pots. I've been able to avoid most actors' ignorance and outright stupidity IRL. It is only when They Won't Let You avoid and ignore their politics when I decide to avoid their work. I can't stand the fact that "Bull Durham" has been forever tainted by Sarandon and Robbins' In Your Face politics. I love baseball too much not to watch it, however. It is a quality flick for junkies like me. I will also watch "The Shawshank Redemption" almost every time I find it. Good stories allow me the cognitive dissonance it takes for a little "escapism".
