JOHN TRAVOLTA STILL BUTCHING IT UP
02.13.09
After the jump I’ve got the trailer for The Taking of Pelham 123, the second movie in only a couple months to star John Travolta as some kind of goateed hard ass. Look, man, nothing’s gonna make us forget this nightmare. It was directed by Ridley Scott’s brother Tony and co-stars Denzell Washington. He and Travolta play sort of a flipped-flopped version of John McClaine and the fat guy from Family Matters in Die Hard. James Gandolfini plays the mayor, and I’ll bet $1000 he turns out to be the bad guy. Long story short, it would be lot better if it were about the three sexy Pelham sisters. Or Madame Pelham, who’s 123 (for the novelty value).

Banner Pic: Johnny Treholta.
Does he have any fake tats in honor of his dead son? Cuz that’d be gay?
What? Not soon enough?
Two words: Nice ‘stache!
I thought this was a photo of Travolta from “The Village People Movie.”
Travolta is doing his Danny Trejo impression.
“Whatchu wan’ man?”
Danny Zuko as: Danny Trejo.
Nothing says “I love the ladies” like a well groomed moustache.
Banner pic: Can’t you just hear the director screaming to the people in the left background “Goddammit! STOP LOOKING AT TRAVOLTA!!”
If you want a doo-doo rhyme, then come see me.
That blonde in the background (with the black dress) is thinking to herself, “I would have thought the tv crew for America’s Most Wanted would be more…subtle!”
1:45 of the trailer:
“Hey, honey, I’m gonna go trade myself for some hostages held by an armed John Travolta.”
“You do what you need to do. By the way, I’m super busy, so pick up milk on your way home.”
WTF?
I can’t tell whose footprints are whose anymore…
Man, you fuckers just didn’t see Donk’s dick laying there and stepped all over it huh?
Oh, I thought Donkey was just dyslexic or something. My bad!
He should have spelled it TreJolta for us slow-people.
BTK V + J = H
That’s spelling math.
Vince is right, my brain has that fat lady suit stuck in it. I cant even watch Pulp Fiction again. I think I need help
Needs more slow motion doves.
Donk, when you look back and you only saw one set of footprints in the sand . . . that is because God just stepped on your dick.
I refuse to apologize. I have self-esteem issues.
A French friend of mine thinks this looks royally cheesy.
Fuck mon, me don’t even ‘ave to say it.
Did Hasbro come out with “Prison-Rape G.I. Joe” and nobody told me?
He has Durst on his breath.
John Travolta’s gun fires out a flag that says, “Have anal sex with me.”
It’s good that all those people in the background are just blending into the scene.
He looks like this guy that flicked his tongue at me at the gym the other day.
Aaron Eckhart’s chin and John Travolta’s chin don’t get along.
Things were awkward on the set because John Travolta kept asking Denzel Washington about his caboose.
He aint no Bad-ass…
*combs hair with switchblade comb, peels back paper on temporary tattoo, puffs on gum cigarette*
… aka Die Hard With a Porn ‘stache
The original version of taking of pelham 123 from 1974 starring Walter Matthau as the cop and Robert Shaw as the criminal was fantastic. Its where Quentin Tarantino cribbed the idea for the criminals to use color coded names (the bad guys in Pelham called themselves: Mr. Blue,Mr. Green, Mr. Gray, and Mr. Brown).
So is this movie about that guy from the Backstreet Boys scrapping with one of the guys from, I don’t know, Boyz II Men?
There should be a scene where Tony Soprano beats the shit out of the used-to-be-hot chick from Medium.
Seeing John Travolta in drag almost gave ME a seizure. Can you imagine if that was your dad?
US Weekly reports that John Travolta will keep the stash for his upcoming role starring in the biopic “Johnny Cakes: The John Costelloe story”.
No, he’s not a goatee’d hard-ass here, he’s a Fu-Man-Chu’d hard-ass. Get your facts straight!
