This is the trailer for The Fall, directed by Tarsem Singh and “presented” by Spike Jonze and David Fincher.
In a hospital a little girl with a broken collar bone meets a bedridden man who starts telling her a fantastical story which reflects his state of mind. As time goes by fiction and reality start to intertwine in this uplifting epic fantasy. [IMDB]
Watching the main guy in it start telling the little girl a story, at first I figured it would be just another children’s fantasy flick where talking unicorns fight with evil centaurs and shit. But as it went along I started noticing that the cinematography was super badass (as the scientists like to say). But then I was worried Brendan Fraser would still show up at the end to give it the kiss of death, but he never did.
Instead it got Spike Jonze and David Fincher’s names on it, and a quote from Roger Ebert. Ebert quotes are a lot more persuasive now that the alternative is Harry from AICN (examples here, here and here). But I dunno, from what I’ve seen so far, I’d bone this movie. It’ll be in limited release in March.

Beyonce > Harry
If they give it a French title, old white people will throw gold statues at it.
But I dunno, from what I’ve seen so far, I’d bone this movie.
MILF?
This isn’t gonna be one of those Bollywood movies that we’re all supposed to love in our new loving and tolerant society, is it? Cuz that Hindu guy is scaring the shit outta me. I just locked the windows of my office.
When I was in the hospital as a kid, my dad told me stories, but they were mainly about how if I died, he was going to buy a motorcycle.
Well I guess you showed him, eh Rot? Where’s your motorcycle now, pops?
I’m getting really fucking tired of "Epic Fantasies".
I dunno if I’d bone this movie, but I’d totally pretend I was going to reciprocate after it blew me.
Well I guess you showed him, eh Rot? Where’s your motorcycle now, pops?
I swear to JHC I only posted that once. Fuckin mysql sock . . . something. . . . piece of crap.
If you find a Harley Catalogue and some syringes in dad’s drawer – just act natural.
Kill or be killed. That’s my family motto.
Well that and Why go accross the street when you can go accross the hall.
I had to listen to it with the sound off and it still looked awesome. Perhaps because I too broke my collar bone when I was little (I could touch my knee w/o bending over = sexy). Not to sure about the fancy lad sword fighting but I’m willing to give the fancy lads the benefit of the doubt. Very excited about this movie. Will commence to chair spinning. Wheeeeee
This is obviously a fantasy movie. Ragheads don’t used scimitars to kill people, they use women and children wired with C-4.
So since we have no CoTW yet, should I nominate that JHC comment for last week or wait for next week’s nominations? I’m so confused. I probably just won’t even bother to nominate it. Too much thought involved.
Well, he got the motorcycle, but only because he made me eat asbestos and then sued our landlord. However, I got the last laugh because my pancreas is now fireproof…which comes in handier than you might think. Little known fact: the number two cause of death in Botswana is pancreatic-spontaneous-combustion. The hills of Botswana echo with the villagers’ songs about me. Then again, every time I hiccup, my ears bleed…so Father’s Day is a bit of a conundrum.
I saw his profile on millionaire dating site "mil lionairefriends com" last week. It is said he has major crush on beautiful young women on that site.
BONG!!!!!!!!!
bursteo2, I hate to burst your bubble, hee hee, but I barely have any minimum wage friends. Why the fuck would I want to have million airefriends? So they can belittle me and make fry cook jokes? Fuck off, my parents do that shit enough for everyone.
Speaking of JHC being a fry cook, when’s the last time we had a comprehensive survey regarding the professions of our regular FilmDrunkards? I know what jobs some of you guys do that enables you to post all day but there are some newer members who may be unaware of the FD opportunities that may be out there.
To get us started I’ll tell you that I’m an intern architect.
I spam for a millionaire dating site, "mil lionairefriends com".

So, Stinky, do you mean that your company makes stuff for dwarfs? I don’t think we should be encouraging those creepy little bastards by marketing stuff to them. You’re just asking for more dwarfs and pretty soon, we’ll be completely over-run. Did Leprechaun teach you nothing?
Occupation: Supermodel tutor and condom model.

Oh, that’s for me? Yes I love ass2mouth! Thanks for asking!
New up ding dongs
I probably order some car parts from JHC’s family.
(and probably not)
If you are anywhere near Nebraska, then maybe Pauly. But I doubt it. I usually don’t answer the phone during business hours. I like to screen all the calls.
Got any parts for a 1992 Saab 900, JHC? Because I could probably give you a lot of business.
’92 Saab 900? Good luck with that.
No shit. You may have the last one in existence Burnsy.
JHC – is your dad building a rocket from scrap parts out back?
Rise and shine, shit bags. I won on Oscar for “Worst Attitude on a Monday” here at work.
My acceptance speech went something like this: “Fuck you guys, you’re gay.”
Seen it. It was freaking beautiful. About goddam time it was released. Studios make me sick.
Did they play the musical interlude to run you off Chodey? If they do I always just get louder and more belligerent. Kinda like Julia Roberts*.
* Not in reference to when she won the Oscar, just in general. I hate that broad.
