I don’t know if the world is ready to recognize how awesome Your Highness was yet, but in the meantime, director David Gordon Green has a new movie out called The Sitter, which just released a red-band trailer. I’m a bit torn. See, I love watching Jonah Hill cuss out little kids. Hell, I could watch little kids getting cussed out all day, Jonah Hill or not. But the entire second half of the trailer seems to be Jonah Hill and the kids trying to fit in at an urban pool hall, and watching a chubby Jewish guy try to prove how down he is with the brother man just feels a little too “hangin’ with Brett Ratner” for my tastes.
I hope the action scenes aren’t too actiony in this one. I don’t like how David Gordon Green tries to make me buy an earnest car chase scene thirty seconds after I watched James Franco jerk off a fish wizard. It’s hard to argue with Sam Rockwell and Method Man though. That’s just good casting right there.
I eagerly await the sequel, “Flagpole Sitter,” a documentary about the real-life search for Harvey Danger, who’s been lost at sea since a rafting accident in ’98.

GD it, Jonah Hill, choose a weight class and stick with it!
Method Man hasn’t been around this many kids since Ol’ Dirty Bastard’s funeral.
But the entire second half of the trailer seems to be Jonah Hill and the kids trying to fit in at an urban pool hall set to Ante Up, which makes everything awesome.
Can I get a witness?
God I love that video.
But yeah, Jonah Hill to me is like the gritty and urban reimagining of Paul Blart.
Adventures in babysitting used to lead to angry white men confused with Nordic gods not the urban negro. Again, just like neighborhoods I can still afford.
If you’re going to make an R-rated Adventures in Babysitting, it should have Elisabeth Shue’s boob in it.
*boobs, goddanmit.
This looks someone got high and asked, “What would you do if only had money to fund one film, but you really wanted to remake both Adventures in Babysitting and Uncle Buck?”
Now Jonah Hill has worked with three members of the Wu Tang Clan: Method Man, Rza and Channing Tatum.
Jonah Hill fucking sucks.
Vince, I tend to agree with you on most things, but I just cannot understand how you thought Your Highness was a good movie. I was talking with my friends last night about how shitty we thought it was and I realized that part of what bothered me is not just the sheer stupidity and awful accents, but the fact that it looks just like one of those 90′s fantasy shows (e.g. Hercules, Xena).
That’s weird, the version of this red band trailer He
fervently desired would actually existuh, once saw had the same ending as Inglourious Basterds, but with a negro saloon instead of a Jewish (implied) movie theater.The awful accents and resemblance to Hercules and Xena was totally intentional! That’s why it was funny! You really think James Franco couldn’t do proper accent if he wanted? It was supposed to be kind of dumb, and that’s what it was, a great, dumb, stoner comedy.
Chill out, Vince. You don’t need us to validate your opinions. You are special the way you are.

Yes he does, Fek. That’s the sole purpose of blogging.
It’s ok Vince. I really enjoyed The Highness*.
*A lie.
/For the record, I don’t watch movies.
Jerry Sandusky is waiting outside the theater right now.

I hate when I want to be unique and someone says exactly what I was thinking.
I don’t expect everyone else to enjoy it as much as I did (though Bobby Hacker agrees with me at least). One thing to consider: I’m a total sucker for a robot sidekick. The mechanical falcon thing fucking slayed me. That’s right in my comedy sweet spot for some reason.
My wish of an Adventures in Babysitting remake with bigger tits came true! Damn you, Cursed Monkey’s Paw! You win again!
