Who will be playing the president in the soon to be released disaster movie 2012? Danny Glover. President Danny Glover’s first order of business? Dooming the entire world except John Cusack and whoever is playing John Cusack’s kids to a crumbly destruction.
Much like Morgan Freeman (Deep Impact), Deebo (Fifth Element), Dennis Haysbert (24) and to a lesser extent, Chris Rock (Head of State), Danny Glover will continue Hollywood’s long line of black presidents who upon taking of the oath of office seem to unintentionally trigger the end of days.
I think it’s time modern cinema gets a little progressive in their portrayals of black leaders. I mean, why can’t Danny Glover be president in one of those quirky, but poorly written first daughter movies, where his spunky daughter has to deal with an overbearing Secret Service agent while trying to fit in at her first year of college? That or just some movie where the world doesn’t end.
According to a recent study, Australians who indulge in up to 28 drinks a week stand a better chance of warding off dementia than those who abstain from drinking.
Of course, what the study doesn’t mention is that 28 drinks a week significantly increases your chances of getting alcohol poisoning, starting a fight at an Eagles game, crashing your segway and having a twenty minute conversation with a mural on the side of a Dominicks.
Either way, you can read the particulars of this notably flawed study here.
Not why you specifically suck, more why we the people as a collective whole suck and seem hellbent on destroying earth until the cosmic powers that be give us a new, better earth, with cooler features…like side air bags…er, I mean milder winters and saddle ready dinosaurs.
But, if preachy documentaries frighten, irritate, confuse or cause you to angrily picture Michael Moore in your head, consider this — just put it on in the background, mute it and stream the stunning photography while the guy in the cubicle next to you lies about finishing that 5K race over the weekend.
Ah Monday — day full of lies, embellishments, I shoulda couldas and lotto ticket binges. Here’s to hoping some day Tuesday turns around and punches you in your big fat Monday nose.
But seriously, the photography in this doc is real pretty.
I guess if you’re killing time at the Apple Store, you might as well record a music video. Minus points for doing a Black Eye Peas song though. You’ve got the Kanye look, but you chose to leave him out to dry. Now, there is a grown man with shutter shades crying in his dressing room. Kanye sad.
I don’t why they spend millions of dollars making movies like G Force, when you can just dub over existing footage of animals and it’s like ten time better.
