It seems like every script deal these days involves a concept that could be fully explained in a photoshop or tagline. You think that’s ’cause people are stupider nowadays? What was I talking about again?
Working Title paid high six figures against seven figures [that means high six figures for the script, seven figures if they make the movie] for an untitled concept comedy that Allan Loeb will write as a star vehicle for Ryan Reynolds.
Pic is described as a dude-in-drag romantic comedy, with Reynolds playing a jilted lover who must disguise himself as a woman and befriend his ex in order to win her back. [Variety]
Are you sh-tting me? I realize the pitch was only worth that much because Ryan Reynolds was attached, but good lord, it’s not even a script yet. He sold them on an idea that’s basically already been done better in hastily thrown-together South Park episodes. I’ve seen better ideas in the comments section of this blog YouTube. After this, Ryan Reynolds will have done a dressing-in-drag movie AND a fat suit movie. All he has to do now is play a retard and a Holocaust survivor to complete Hollywood’s version of hitting for the cycle.

This is a doubtfire idea… no wait, surefire. Not sure why I said doubtfire.
Fuuuuck…….
*slips off seat, hits head, dies*
Weeeeeeeee, pandering.
I’ve seen better ideas in the comments section of this blog.
Thanks?
Working title: Some Like It Shit
Yea second that Chino. No wait, wait… No homo.
So it’s Bosom Buddies without the Peter Scolari character?
Burnsy, I think that’s called “damning with faint praise.” Truth be told, a capuchin monkey humping an iPhone could come up with a more original idea than this.
I’ve seen better ideas in the comments section of Pajiba*.
*Not really.
Coming this summer from Fox, Ryan Reynolds plays a lovable overweight autistic man who must dress in drag to fit in at a female-only autistic weight-loss camp to win back the overweight autistic girl he loves.
Ryan Reynolds in… Camp America.
Sometimes retarded love… Gets heavy.
Not a fan of his usually, but I would let that pic go for a dive.
I’ve seen butter ideas on Kirstie Alley’s blog.
… 115 things you can’t miss this summer
Something something number of muscles I’m counting on RR… wait, didn’t I already make a remark like that a while ago? This is all so familiar. Sexy familiar. Not complaining.
I’ve seen better ideas in the Durden comments.
(*Checks bank account*)
Shit…
I’ve seen bitter ideas all over Fox News.
I’ve seen batter ideas on PornHub.
I’ve gotten some Britta ideas while watching Community.
Great news, I just sold an option (two figures against three figures) on my “capuchin monkeys humping iPhones”
scriptpitch. FOX Searchlight wants to call it There’s an Ape For That.*nudges Burnsy*
I’ve seen better ideas in the comments section of this blog.
Vince is like the Step-Dad I never had. Finally some recognition!!!
Thats it…I’m climbing into a fucking cellophane balloon.
I got Britta ideas while watching Choke. Wait, does going through the stripper scene frame by frame repeatedly count as “watching”?
Ryan Reynolds is totally ripping off Derek Zoolander’s Blue Steel look there.
Damnit, Jack. Now I have to watch the strip club clip from Choke again.
I don’t see what has all the women worked up about Ryan. I mean, sure he’s supposedly good looking. Yeah, he’s got a pretty nice body. He’s funny and charming, to be sure. His body hair is neatly groomed. He’s anonymously donated $500,000 to breast cancer research, too.
But, can he change a fucking light bulb or replace the furnace filter? Didn’t think so. Call me ladies.
Are you kidding me? That’s La Tigre.
J, light and fresh air are so overrated.
I’m pretty sure he could do that too J.
I’m not saying I’d sleep with Ryan in drag. But I’d let him get to 3rd.
Oh, who am I kidding? If I thought I could get away with it, I’d probably tickle his balls for him while he was pounding away on the Mrs.
If Ryan was a true humanitarian, he’d research my breasts.
Ryan can do anything. Have you ever heard Reynolds rap?
Yeah, that would be a good idea, Chino. He’d better perform the exam wearing a fucking rain coat and galoshes.
I’ve heard of Reynolds wrap, but I’m assuming he’s a talented musician as well. I mean just look at him.
yuck, it’s Friday and I swear I saw an “of” in that sentence Jacktion. Sorry for slaying your joke.
For your penance Jiri, you must nom every joke I’ve made all week (I think I made 3).
I think that scuba gear should suffice.
Chino, wet suit or dry? Y’know . . . just in case.
Will he be living at the Susan B Anthony, trying to get close to Sunny?
Okay, Vince. The ladies have had more than enough time to, err, finish. Can we get a new post before I start cutting myself out of jealousy?
For some reason I can’t get Billy Joel’s “My Life” out of my head.
Me too, Jack. I’m in your head, I mean. I cant get out.
Alternatively:
A love so heavy… It’s retarded.
I’ve seen better ideas in Falcon Heene’s coloring book.
