LARRY DAVID’S WIFE DIRECTED A MOVIE
10.16.09This is the trailer for Serious Moonlight, directed by Cheryl Hines of Curb Your Enthusiasm. It’s from the last screenplay written by Hines’ friend, Adrienne Shelly. Adrienne Shelly wrote and directed the critically-acclaimed indie, Waitress, a film whose appeal I never really understood. It was full of clichéd dialog, characters, and situations, but I guess because it was done deliberately, people thought that was good. It wasn’t really a satire or a parody and it wasn’t really funny so I don’t understand how deliberate clichés would be a good thing, but what do I know, I’m just a guy who loves kitties. Tragically, before the film’s release, Shelly walked in on an Ecuadorian immigrant who was stealing money from her purse, and he killed her and tried to make it look like a suicide.
Phew, that’s a downer of a story, huh? Anyway, Shelly wrote Serious Moonlight before she died, and it’s about Meg Ryan duct taping Timothy Hutton to a toilet when she finds out he’s leaving her for Kristen Bell. Later Justin Long wanders in and duct tapes everyone some more. It looks… not good. Ben Lyons said, “I was duct taped to my seat!” Anyway, this is neither here nor there, but I’d really like to do a comedy about a neurotic neo-nazi called Curbstomp Your Enthusiasm.
