Every time I read his name, my first reaction is: Vegas, baby, VEGAS!!!!
I still haven't seen that movie.
Dude. Go, rent it. Now. I'll wait.
And almost sixty-five percent of that was actual compliment. Is that a personal best?

Buffista Movies 6: lies and videotape
A place to talk about movies--old and new, good and bad, high art and high cheese. It's the place to place your kittens on the award winners, gossip about upcoming fims and discuss DVD releases and extras. Spoiler policy: White font all plot-related discussion until a movie's been in wide release two weeks, and keep the major HSQ in white font until two weeks after the video/DVD release.

Kiss me, my girl, before I'm sick.
Swingers also has an awesometastic soundtrack. Big Bad Voodoo Daddy FTW!
I recognized Favreau as the driver/bodyguard of Tony's in the movie, and apparently his character is supposed to be Happy Hogan. A-ha! Pretty sly of him to cast himself as the guy who eventually gets The Girl.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
Ha, I didn't catch that part in the entry. Although the movie seems to be playing up a romance between Tony and Pepper, which is the traditional Hollywood route.

Heh. I think I've seen the beginning, but I was really tired and fell asleep. I'm not actively avoiding it, I swear! I love Go.

I only know the one song.

aka "The artist formerly known as Corwood Industries."
See, when I hear his name, I always think of Favreau getting increasingly freaked-out by Christopher Moltisanti.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
I think of him as Pete, Monica's boyfriend who tried to become a UFC fighter on Friends.

You know, I think I probably know him best as Foggy Nelson in the Daredevil movie. Which is weird because I thought I knew him for other reasons. Because...he's Jon Favreau. Maybe I know him from his trailers.

Never fall in love with somebody you actually love.
The 100 mil opening basically puts to bed the idea GTA would harm the opening.
I kept expecting Stark to build a Whiskey cup holder into his Iron Man suit.

Oh come on, you know that if there were no GTA, it would have made $137 million!

I totally don't get the idea that a video game would cut into a movie's opening weekend.
But the last time I played a video game was pre-1990s, so take that as a sign of my total moronic unawareness of the importance of video games.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
I don't think anyone was really taking the idea seriously - it was just moronic news filler.
(Because, really, if you want to see the movie opening weekend AND buy GTA IV....you can do that. Sometimes there are even stores that sell video games and movie theatres right in the same mall!!!)
