SEAN YOUNG OUTBURST NOW HAS VIDEO

01.30.08 Written by Vince Mancini

Yesterday I brought you the story of Sean Young’s outburst at the Director’s Guild Award.  Today, some kind folks at Gold Rush were nice enough to bring you video.

Sean Young’s a little hard to hear in the background, but here’s a play by play from the source:

…A clearly moved Schnabel on stage trying to make a speech when in the background you hear, "Get on with it!" 

And then Lieutenant Cockblocker of the No Fun Police tells her to have another cocktail and pretends he’s gonna take his ball and go home.  Whatever.  Someone needed to say it.  Don’t come to an award show where you know you have to give a speech and spend five minutes pretending to be humble.  Guh, artists.  No one’s done anything cool since Roberto Benigni stepped on everyone’s heads like Crocodile Dundee or Adrian Brody forcefully made out with Halle Berry.  

The important thing is that we give Sean Young’s words their proper due.  So once again:

"It was degrading," she said in an Entertainment Weekly article last year. "But when you have nothing to lose, it’s really not that big of a deal."

THX LEMUR

01.29.08 Written by Vince Mancini


This here’s a little something people are calling "THX Lemur".  I really wish they’d play this before movies instead of the Kung Fu Panda thing where Jack Black’s voice tells you to knock off the text messaging.

Jack Black’s funny and all, but what can I say man, I just like lemurs. I’m old school like that.

‘THE COTTAGE’

01.29.08 Written by Vince Mancini

This is the trailer for The Cottage, starring Andy Serkis, Jennifer Ellison, and other British people I’ve never heard of. It’s set for a March 14th release in the UK.


THE COTTAGE is a relentless dark comedy with an extreme twist. Set in a remote part of the countryside, a bungled kidnapping turns into a living nightmare for our four central characters when they cross paths with a psychopathic farmer and all hell breaks loose.

I’m not sure what the extreme twist is.  The countryside? The kidnapping?  The hell? The nightmare? To me, it looks more cheesy than anything else! HAHAHAHA, COTTAGE CHEESE, GET IT?  

Sorry, it was either that or Andy Serkis? More like Andy Circus.

COMMENTS OF THE WEEK

01.29.08 Written by Vince Mancini

Let’s face it, a lot of people comment on FilmDrunk.  But it takes an extra special sort not to say something pointless or retarded, and an even specialer sort to actually be funny.

Want to comment?  Take a lesson from these people.  Or just sit back and enjoy.  Nominate your favorite comment for next week’s Comments of the Week here (post is hidden, so bookmark it).  Want to know more about how it works?  Here’s a handy primer from our very own ‘The Mighty Fek’lhr’.  Don’t care?  Fair enough.  

This week’s funniest is only funny because of a typo, but just try to read it without laughing – not possible:

(From the Christian Brando thread) JHC says: I’m kind of a big deal. By kind of a big deal, I mean I’m the phone book.

One of two Stinky Pete gems from last week:

I want to see a romantic comedy about a small down abortion doctor who falls for one of his repeat clients, a young secretary who actually wants to have a kid with the "right guy" but who keeps waking up from alcoholic blackouts next to Hell’s Angels or independent league basketball centers. Then one night the doctor runs into her at the local watering hole and takes her home for a one-night stand, only to chicken out and leave before she wakes up. Then a few weeks later he’s faced with having to abort what is likely his own kid. Life Sucks, starring Robin Williams and Amanda Peet.

The other:

Too bad it isn’t a trigonometry thriller, then the cops could have said, "While we were off on a tangent, the killer left us a sine."

(From the 7 Oscars For Atonement post) RoboPanda says:

FADE IN:
EXT. SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA ROADSIDE. NIGHT

JASON STATHAM PULLS OVER, EXITS CAR

E.T.
Help! I’m stuck in a fucking ditch!  [Now that was a good non-sequitir].

(from the Heath Ledger is dead post) Chodin says:

fuck this shit, too many good actors have been dying from overdosing on pills…

*chodin walks to the toilet and pours his entire bottle of flinstone’s vitamins down the drain*

(Speaking of Meet the Spartans) Brooklyn says:

oh THAT’S what that movie is about?

all this time i thought it was about my brain trying to eat itself.

Drunk on, Drunkards.

T-T-TODAY, JUNIOR!

01.29.08 Written by Vince Mancini

You may remember her as Einhorn from Ace Ventura.

While those lazy writers from the WGA are still one strike, the Director’s Guild was partying so hard people are going to rehab.

Sean Young has entered rehabilitation for alcohol abuse following a weekend outburst in which she was heckling from the audience at the Directors Guild of America awards.

At the DGAs, all of the film nominees get a chance to say a few words before the top prize is announced. [Director Julian] Schnabel, in his trademark yellow-tinted glasses, was a bit slow to start, looking down at the podium and running his hands through his wild, curly hair.  That’s when Young could be heard throughout the room urging him to get on with it. Apparently rattled, Schnabel scanned the room and asked who said that, then spotted Young and suggested that she "have another cocktail."

Then he suggested that she should finish his speech for him and started walking off the stage. Music began playing for his exit, but the audience urged him to stay and keep speaking, and he did. Young, meanwhile, was removed from the ballroom.

Wow, what a pussy.  Can’t take a little playful heckling, eh?  That’s no cause to make pejorative remarks vis a vis someone’s alcoholism.

Young made her name in the 1980s with films like "Stripes," "Blade Runner" and "No Way Out." But she’s become more famous for some of her more bizarre behavior, including dressing up in a homemade cat suit in her quest to secure the role of Catwoman in the 1992 sequel "Batman Returns," which went to Michelle Pfeiffer. She also tried to crash the Vanity Fair Oscar party in 2006.

"It was degrading," she said in an Entertainment Weekly article last year. "But when you have nothing to lose, it’s really not that big of a deal."

Words to live by, truly.  She sounds like a role model for young ladies everywhere.
