Tantalizing Trivia: The 40 Year Old Virgin

We all remember the Guatemalan love song sung by Paula (Jane Lynch) in The 40 Year Old Virgin (2005). Don't we? I sure do.

The translation is:

When I clean my room,
I can't find anything.
Where are you going in such a hurry?
To the soccer game.


 

Green Lantern Character Posters!

Ch.ch.check it out! Promos for Green Lantern are in full swing, and the studio has released these character posters for our viewing pleasure. I like the tagline being divided up, but if you only see one somewhere it won't make much sense.





RED - In Which Old Actors Play CIA Agents


Red, coming in October of this year, stars Bruce Willis, Helen Mirren, John Malkovich, Morgan Freeman, Mary-Louise Parker, and many other awesome names that I'm too lazy to type.

Here! Copy and paste is the solution. Here's Summit Entertainment's press release:

Red is the story of Frank Moses (Willis), a former black-ops CIA agent, who is now living a quiet life. That is, until the day a hi-tech assassin shows up intent on killing him. With his identity compromised and the life of the woman he cares for, Sarah (Parker), endangered, Frank reassembles his old team (Freeman, Malkovich and Mirren) in a last ditch effort to survive. [Wikipedia]


Firstly, I still have a crush on Brucey, and second - I'll see anything with John Malkovich in it. And as a cherry on top we get to see The Queen Helen Mirren whoop some ass. Never thought I'd say that in a post. But you see, anything can happen in Hollywoodville.


Now, I will admit this has the potential for being a flippin' flop, a box office bomb, a stinking pile of embarassment for the actors involved, but I also think it has the potential to be enjoyable. Obviously they'll go for shock value - old people doing extreme stunts, and the standard "I'm getting too old for this" schtick, but meh - I'll see it.

Will you?
