Alec Baldwin Also Not a Fan of Dane Cook’s Vagina-Like Face
5:35AM Kyle Buchanan | Back in August, comedian Dane Cook assailed the marketing job for his upcoming movie My Best Friend’s Girl, claiming that it was the “best / funniest film” he’d ever made but that its quality was overshadowed by a photoshopped poster that left his face looking like “Brittany Spears’ [sic] vagina.” Then, the film actually came out, and critics treated Cook’s vulva-tastic mug like it was the least of the rom-com’s problems. Now, co-star Alec Baldwin is leaping into the fray, admitting on his official website that he’d rather watch My Name is Earl than have to sit through My Best Friend’s Girl again:
Dear Kate Hudson: Where Did It All Go Wrong?
7:30AM Defamer Hollywood | With My Best Friend’s Girl abysmal box office performance last weekend now behind us, we’ve been pondering the fallout of some of film’s stars. Obviously Jason Biggs is always going to be known as the dude who stuck his peen in an apple pie. And Dane Cook’s MySpace rants have gotten more views than all of his films put together. But Kate Hudson! We had so much hope for you, spawn of Goldie Hawn. Once a flaxen-haired hippie goddess with daisies laced in your hair, your gracefully slept your way to the top of the Stillwater groupies in Almost Famous. And you were almost more endearing than annoying in How To Lose A Guy In Ten Days, which we must admit we occasionally watch on TBS when our plans fall through on a Friday night. We thought you might be on your way to becoming the queen of chick flicks, but now, you’ve taken it too far.
Police Brutality Strikes Keira, Kate and Dakota at the Box Office
2:00AM STV | Welcome back to Defamer Attractions, your official tastemaking Bible for everything new and noteworthy at the movies. The second week of the fall season offers another mixed harvest of Oscar bait, multiplex placeholders and indie hopefuls, none more eagerly anticipated than the historically skeevy Dakota Fanning 2.0 drama Hounddog. But we’ll get to that momentarily, along with this week’s worthwhile DVD releases and an all-call for your own recommendations. As always, our opinions are our own — in times like these, who really wants to share? More »
Dane Cook’s Love Scene Secrets: Minty Freshness, Strategic Groping
7:50AM STV | Dane Cook is finally playing nice these days on behalf of his Mr. Fix-It remake new film My Best Friend’s Girl, getting through an entire interview recently without once mentioning his mildly vagina-like face or those other movie-poster mishaps that so traumatized him last month. In their place, readers are treated to hints about Cook’s sweeter, sensitive side — the leading man in him who prepares for onscreen interludes with a grueling two-month training routine for his mouth and hands:
Dane Cook Isn’t Afraid to Steal Another Guy’s Girl – Or His Movie’s Plot
8:15AM STV | We’ve been telling you about The End of Ideas for a while now, but generally in the context where otherwise upstanding individuals knowingly attach their names to remakes, rehashes, reimaginings and revisions whose very existence could threaten even a VMA attendee’s faith in a benevolent God. (His close neighbours are starting to have their doubts, anyway.) But to think that a Dane Cook movie that even he has found reason to second-guess could in fact be a poorly rendered rip-off of a straight-to-video David Boreanaz exercise from a decade ago? Really, now — that’s just unholy. Judge for yourself after the jump as we bring you the special-needs trailer for Cook’s forthcoming My Best Friend’s Girl and its 1997 counterpart for the forgotten rom-com Mr. Fix It. As an added bonus, find a dormant IMDB comment thread parsing the films’ respective plots: “What a rip-off! I predict this movie will never be released…” Alas. More »
