_{It’s a robot snotbaby, get it?}

So far, Kim Barker has written two movies: the upcoming All About Steve, which looks like the cinematic equivalent of a loose, painful stool after a Mexican-food binge, and 2007′s License to Wed, of which The Guardian wrote:

“Josef Goebbels had a home movie made of the failed 1944 Hitler assassins being hanged from meathooks. It probably had more laughs, more fun, more feelgood moments than this family comedy.”

But, as Kevin Smith says, in Hollywood you can sort of fail upwards.  Which brings us to today, when Steve Carell’s company has acquired Barker’s latest script, Hi-T, possibly as a starring vehicle for Carell (RUN, STEVE! RUN FAR FROM THIS PROJECT!).

“The project centers on a man who begins taking testosterone injections after an injury leaves him deprived of the chemical, only to find his moods swing uncontrollably.” [THR]

I bet when he’s not on the injections he gets emotionally sensitive and loves to shop!  Because women be shopping, you see.

I’ll say one thing for All About Steve, everything you need to know about it is right there in the title.  Gimmicky? Unoriginal? Fantastically mediocre?  Check, check, and check.  It was directed by a guy named, I shit you not, P.T. Dangle, and written by Kim Barker whose only other credit is License to Wed, a movie that co-starred Robin Williams, Mandy Moore, and a robot baby.  Care to guess the studio behind this one?  Go ahead.  Come on, I think you can figure this one out.  Here’s a hint: It’s Fox.  Who the hell else would it be. Anyway, on March 6th, be sure to check out All About Steve, or as I like to call it, Monkey Smearing Shit on His Own Face.
