09.30.08 MADONNA MOVIE HAS A TRAILER
IFC Films recently released the trailer for Filth and Wisdom, “directed” by “Madonna”. It began as a short film and ended up not quite a feature at 80 minutes long. It will get a limited US release October 17th.
A Ukrainian immigrant, A.K. (Eugene Hutz), finances his dreams of ‘trans-continental superstardom’ with his band, Gogol Bordello, by turning tricks as a role-playing cross dresser. As A.K. literally whips the privileged of London into shape, he also secretly pines for the object of his affection, Holly (Holly Weston), an aspiring ballerina looking for her big break while moonlighting as a slippery stripper. Meanwhile, Juliette (Vicky Mclure) steals medicine from her pharmaceutical job in hopes of quenching her dreams of helping Africa’s youth. [Apple]
Since premiering in Berlin in February, it’s been racking up the kind of unimaginative reviews you’d expect for Madonna movie:
“Madonna would do well to hang on to her day job” -Telegraph. Peter Bradshaw of The Guardian wrote “Well, it had to happen. Madonna has been a terrible actor in many, many films and now… she has graduated to being a terrible director.” Jonathan Romney of Screen International called the film “good-humoured, averagely average vanity project” and “a cheap and cheerful comedy,” adding that “Madonna simply cannot direct actors.”
I’m surprised no one went for the “it’s better than stealing babies” angle.

Nigguh, that’s all you had to say!
Filth and Wisdom?
Interesting she’d give her movie a title of things that nobody has either looked for or expected from her for more than a decade.
Anyone ever see Everything is Illuminated? Me neither. Did buy the Gogol Bordello album though. *sings* “Start wearing purple, wearing purple. lalalalala”
About time they Borat made a sequel.
It’s probably just viral marketing, but Hispanics have reported seeing her everywhere.
Hey, that Uproxxx guy was pretty funny.
That fucking sounds terrible. It must be close to unwatchable. I hope she invested tons of her own money in this…
My dentist got rid of all my filth and wisdom.
It figures that Madonna’s idea of a character that helps African children feels that the only way to help us is by taking things that do not belong to you.
Madonna; Singer, dancer, actor, director, author, proof that when God says “Fuck you people!” he does it in mysterious ways.
Unless Madonna blows me during this mov…wait…hold on, back it up.
No…there is absolutely nothing that will make me see this movie.
What is Madonna’s day job anyway?
Jesus, I think there was a spell hidden in the midst of that synopsis.
It’s obvious this “Peter” guy has never seen Desperately Seeking Susan.
A.K. should probably know that if you want to achieve “Trans-continental superstardom” you can’t really just tackle that one word at a time. Next, he’ll move on to eating breakfasts consisting of nothing but coffee and bagels.
<== Just caught an upskirt glimse of Madonna’s bored out, lint covered, chicken lipped, prolapsed vagina
Fuck.
Madonna? I’ve seen better acting in an episode of ‘Hogan Knows best’.
The actors all complained that it was really hard to take Madonna’s direction seriously when she was doing that terrible fake British accent.
Well, it seems better than stealing babies (but only marginally so).
Anyone remember when Madonna was hot and we all wanted to have sex with her?
Yeah, me neither.
I used to say that if Madonna was a man I’d punch her but now that I think about it, I’d probably punch her anyway.
It’s kind of ironic that Madonna keeps trying to sell herself as sexy yet now the only men that are attracted to her are gay.
I think we should take up a collection and send Madonna one of erswi’s twins on the condition that she never get behind or in front of a camera again.
erswi, you’re game, right? I mean you’ll still have one kid left.
What can you say about Madonna that Father Time hasn’t already commented on?
