OK, now I don't want to see any of these (and hadn't even heard of the typewriter one,) but Alex Pettyfer.... Yeah baby.

You had me at "The Most Glamorous French Typewriter Movie You'll See This Year!"

But exactly how long is this film that you had to get up and pee three times?

Inexplicable DeVice said...

Yeah, MJ needs to know how long a YouTube clip is before she knows whether she'll be able to watch it all the way through...

Who'd've thought scrawny little JGL from Third Rock from the Sun would transform into this god we see before us?

The only movies in theaters I bother anymore with are the Jackass movies. And Wes Anderson.
