This week, Dolph Lundgren battles Randy Couture’s seven evil exes while Michael Cera invades Guatemala. Where was Carl Weathers? REVIEWED: The Expendables, Scott Pilgrim. PLUS: We earn our “explicit” rating.
FOX 5 News out of Atlanta was lucky enough to score an interview with both Jason Schwartzman and Michael Cera as they were traveling the country promoting Scott Pilgrim vs the World. Honestly, I could care less what they said about the film. What I really want to hear them talk about is the weather in Atlanta.
A million points to the FOX 5 News team for allowing this to happen. I just hope nobody in Atlanta needed to know what the actual weather was like that day.
Okay, Bored to Death, what the hell? I’ve given you like five episodes at this point and not only do you refuse to get good, you refuse to even acknowledge your premise.
Jason Schwartzman as neurotic Philip Marlowe = Comedy Gold. So why does this show exploit none of the tropes of the genre its ostensibly riffing on? Every episode is a boring Point A to Point B slog with almost no mystery. It’s much more a male Sex in the City than anything else. Ted Danson is pretty much the only reason I’m still watching, but if the series doesn’t deliver on the second half of its first two-parter this weekend, it’ll be time for me to give up and go back to waiting for Slackers 2.
