LOSE FRIENDS & ALIENATE PEOPLE with Simon Pegg!
Beaks here...
Whilst watching this just-released trailer for Robert B. Weide's HOW TO LOSE FRIENDS & ALIENATE PEOPLE, I decided that, yes, I'd very much like a remake of THUNDERBOLT & LIGHTFOOT with Jeff Bridges assuming Eastwood's part and Simon Pegg jumping into the young turk role made famous by Bridges three decades ago. One stipulation: Michael Cimino must direct. Single file, financiers! Single file!
For now, we'll have to settle for Bridges playing Pegg's Graydon Carter-esque boss in this adaptation of Toby Young's bestselling memoir, which documents the Brit writer's failed stint as an editor at VANITY FAIR. Seeing as how the book has been described as the guy version of THE DEVIL WEARS PRADA (which, as a film, grossed $326 million worldwide), I'm not surprised to find the trailer shamelessly emulating its counterpart's glossy, life-amongst-the-glitterati energy. Hopefully, the finished product will be just as much guilty fun.
We'll find out October 3rd.

Good actors, but a dude version of Prada doesn't sell it well, Beaks.
-
...has sold out.
-
The "Guy Version " of The Devil Wears Prada was made 14 years ago and was called Swimming With Sharks. I'd like to think that The Devil Wears Prada is a chick version of Swimming With Sharks.

Suck my fucking cock, Moviefone

and pegg is consistent, even in hippies! We need to see more Mark Heap!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
-
Now talk about what you'd do to her with your pee-pee if you can manage to pull it out of your teddy bear's mouth long enough.

Hot Fuzz was great...Shawn of the Dead funny albeit maybe a tiny bit overrated. Simon's usually pretty reliable so I'll be this ends up working.

I know we hate her for Spider Man 3, but she is still hot. And a Fox Dunst doubleteam is just what I would like right about now.
-
Yes, the memoirs name is a direct satire of this piece.
-
'Cause anything with Simon Pegg in it is, you know, AWESOME. Still have yet to see a movie with him in it that has disappointed me. I even liked "The Good Night"...
-
megan fox is hot as shit...o wait i already knew that.
-
and I agree with Pondscum that the homo influenced cthulhu trailer is bigger news. Hopefully some big time not-michael-bay-director (maybe peter jackson) will see this trailer, get pissed on and make finally make the badass version of finding the lost city in the ant-arctic (whatever the name of that one was) that we've all been waiting for. Otherwise I'm going to watch this one and pound myself in the nuts over and over until I throw up.

And there is no such thing as a "guy's version of Devil Wears Prada"
Now if you said "a gay guy's version of Devil wears prada" you might have had a point. -
"Big Nothing?" I wasn't impressed.
-
Still 342 days and 4 hours until Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen. ZZZzzzzzzzzz....
-
It wasn't until I heard his voice in the teaser that it suddenly dawned that his role as Connor isn't just some bullshit fantasy, it's REAL, it's HAPPENING, he IS John Connor AND Bruce Wayne! Can the guy get any cooler? Oh, he already did, he also WAS Patrick Bateman!! (can you believe that DiCaprio was gonna do it instead at one point but bailed?? (get it, 'Baled'...and also 'Bateman' remove the 'e' and what d'you get...just too good......) Ed Norton and Keanu Reeves were also possibilities. I bet Norton thought it was too similar to what he'd already done so turned it down)
-
Yeah, that would be awesome. If only he was going to be John Connor. He'll apparently be Connor for a few scenes, then he'll be what I call "Not John Conner". A fucking Vin Diesel inspired ex-con cyborg with John Connor's skin plastered onto his body. I'm sorry, but that is absolute, total, complete, fucking puked up feces floating in a pool of ass sweat. The worst, most idiotic idea I have ever heard.
-
Yup. I liked it. It wasn't so much Simon Pegg as it was the story about the double-cross upon double-cross... and the whole "yeah, how long has he been down there breathing liquid shit?" line always leaves me in stitches. Also, I think Pegg does a very good American accent...
-
Love Simon Pegg, but that look painfully unfunny.
-
That is all.
-
I love the Pegg but he's got to watch himself. He's picking scripts that are sytstematicaly turning him into a "wacky" Brit and it's not him.
He's becoming a caricature of himself and that way lays Richard E Grants career. -
...its yet another "Look how stupid men are, and how cool and smart women are" movie Hollywood has these days.this isn't THE DEVIL WEARS PRADA? Because Anne Hathaway's character in that film was never portrayed as a complete moron, just, lovably inept. But, I guess, since its a male lead, he HAS to be a moron, huh, Hollywood? Everyone is always asking why the movies aren't good anymore. Here's one idea: MALE CHARACTERS IN THE MOVIES FROM THE PAST WEREN'T ALL FUCKING MORONS WHO HAS TO HAVE A WOMAN TELL THEM HOW TO ACT/THINK/LIVE. Its no surprise Kirsten Dunst signed up for this; she's still trying to convince the world she's some kind of strong independent woman ...who stared in comic book movies. Obviously, the fastest way to get that cred in industry today is play a female character who is cynical and mean, who's paired up with a idiot man, who is annoyed with said idiot man, then starts to fall/tolerate idiot man. Then the movie ends with idiot man doing something idiotic and strong-independent-woman character rolling her eyes.
-
And here I was thinking it was a limp, lifeless sunken souffle.
-
Tophat, your stupidity is annoying. Where are those films with strong independent women? Didn't male morons in Hollowwood get rid of them entirely?
Pegg's character is not exactly an idiot. He's a conscious enfant terrible. Like most males, he thinks he challenges the system. Yes, he's a moron with blonde ambition. ;) -
About a play(it was farce about the tories) that Toby Young had written" The next time i bump into him he will tell me all about how this play failed. In fact he will possibly write an article on how this play failed.then he will write a book about how this play failed. then he will write a play about how this play failed. Then he will go around the place telling people about he wrote a book, an article and a play about a ply that failed. Theres seems to something about toby young and failure which makes him glory in his own failure. This play is an utter failure and on every level.
-
Fuck you. Fuck you very much.
As an aside, fantastic to see Simon in a film with Gillian Anderson. -
Dunst really needs to start playing much, much, much older roles given that whole saggy prematurely aging thing she's got going on. Maybe her and Maggie Gyllenhaal could do a movie about two fantastically ugly chicks with terrible posture who miraculous make it in Hollywood. Sarah Jessica Parker could play the bitter horse-faced failed actress turned producer who gives them their big break. And, for the record, if you find any of the women mentioned herein attractive you're doing a terrible job of pretending to be heterosexual.
