07.15.09 BAD PUN BECOMES MOVIE PREMISE
Russell Brand (CUT YOUR GD HAIR!) is set to supply the voice of the Easter bunny in I Hop – a project that got greenlit when it should’ve gotten the guy who thought of it socked in the arm. (*sigh*) No one has good friends anymore.
Tim Hill, who previously mixed live action and CGI characters on “Alvin and the Chipmunks,” will direct.
Tale revolves around an out-of-work slacker who runs over the Easter Bunny while driving home late. Since the bunny can’t hop with a broken leg, the slacker is pressed into duty to save Easter. The film becomes a two-hander between the iconic holiday critter and the slacker, each of whom is running from adulthood. [Variety]
I hope Tim Allen plays the guy who has to become the Easter Bunny. Each day his ears get a little longer and he gets a little fuzzier. And one day he’ll be sitting on the marriage counselor’s couch with his wife and the doctor will ask, “So how’s your love life?” And his wife will giggle, “Actually, doc, it’s the strangest thing, I don’t know what’s come over him, but ever since a week ago, we’ve been making love like rabbits!” (*canned laughter*)
Also: Wouldn’t this be a funnier concept if the Easter Bunny ran over some loser and then had to take over his job at IHOP? “Hey, Bunny, where the f*ck is my lingonberry butter?” So ironic.

BAD PUN BECOMES MOVIE PREMISE
As we move further and further away from the film “Forgetting Sarah Marshall”, I think it’s important to remember just how good a movie it was.
Russell Brand was not entirely unlikable in it.
Powerful stuff.
Fall 2011, look for a film starring Jim Carrey as a domestically abusive husband who shoots an intruder in his daughter’s bedroom only to have it turn out to be the Tooth Fairy. He then has to take over the job while she recovers: Tooth a Moon, Alice
:::I hate you so much, Hollywood:::
I think Forgetting Sarah Marshall was not a good movie.
Holy Hell, Donk

Brock Lesnar asserts, “Russel Brand looks like a queer because he’s a fag!”
FoSaMaFlaWa!!!
As if, Room 222
The fu€& is a lingonberry anyway? Is it like a snozzberry?
The snozzberries taste like snozzberries!
I totally forgot about that, Eibz. That just goes to prove that it’s impossible to think up an idea so stupid that they won’t make a movie about it.
That is so frakkin scary.
At Eib: Wow it truly is staggering how bad of a plot that actual “Tooth Fairy” movie has. I’m always especially disheartened to see lame comedies which include characters who are professional hockey players. I have enough trouble being one of the 12 hockey fans in America without Mike Myers and the Rock making shit-tastic comedies involving hockey players.
Snozzberry sounds a little rude, if you think about it.
I actually covered that Tooth Fairy story a while back, but you guys probably just repressed the memory like when daddy used to sneak into your room at night.
Don’t worry antcowofdoo, hockey still lays claim to the best ever sports-related comedy, thanks to Slap Shot.
My dad never came into my room, Vince. He’d just holler for me to come into his.
New up, shitheads.
Russell Brand looks like a toilet brush and might just smell like one, too.
In defense of Forgetting Sarah Marshall one must not forget Jason Segel or Mila Kunis.
