If you didn’t get your Hemingway fix from this morning’s clip from Woody Allen’s old stand-up act about Hemingway punching him in the face, after the jump I’ve got the first trailer for Hemingway & Gellhorn, an HBO film premiering May 28th starring Clive Owen and Nicole Kidman. It tells the story of the romance between Ernest Hemingway and Martha Gellhorn after they meet covering the Spanish Civil War (best Spanish Civil War book: Orwell’s Homage to Catalonia), and promises to paint Hemingway as the manliest man ever to rock a beret. “Who is that large dirty man in those disgustingly soiled clothes,” as Kidman’s Gellhorn puts it. She makes it sound all romantic, but most people ask the same thing about your average IT guy. Or blogger.
Anyway, if you enjoy this, be sure to check back for my historical, interracial buddy cop flick, Heminguey and Butthorn, starring Danny Trejo and Gary Busey.

Ernesto Heminguey’s An Adios to Arms was a harrowing account of his cousin Angel’s run-in with chainsaw-wielding Colombians.
Speaking of Midnight in Paris, no cinematic depiction of Hemingway will ever top that one.
And I will fight you if you disagree.
And I don’t even like Hemingway very much.
Do I see a wrinkle in Kidman’s forehead? BEST CGI EVER!!!!
I’m in. I really like Philip Kaufman and Clive Owen, and am only mildly terrified by Nicole Kidman’s face.
Berets: The hat so gay a manly British playing the manliest American can only bring it up to ‘Ryan Seacrest’.
When really hairy met Sally.
Doh! I typed that, then thought “wait, it’s Kidman, not the other chick”. And as I went to clear the text, clicked Post Comment.
I’m so special.

Nerd.
The Spanish Civil War would have been over sooner if they didn’t take two o’clock naps every fucking day.
Is this Clive Warren?
Karl Pilkington mentioned him on the Ricky Gervais Show.
