Jared Leto recently revealed on a British radio show that a fan once sent him a severed ear. Which he went on to prove by posting the photo on, where else, Instagram. Because apparently, that’s just the kind of loyalty bit parts in Fight Club, Requiem for a Dream, and American Psycho inspire.
By the way, Leto got his ass kicked in Fight Club, his arm amputated in Requiem, and brutally murdered in American Psycho. You wonder if his whole career is based on people wanting to kick his ass.
I hate the obsolete late night show vaudeville format, and I wish Jimmy Kimmel’s show could just be a collection of bits like this, a genius segment where he sends a man on the street down to ask people about fake movies they just made up, that people then lie about having seen. Amazing what people will do just to avoid having to admit they haven’t seen a movie, isn’t it? I blame every person who’s ever yelled “YOU’VE NEVER SEEN TAXI DRIVER?!?” at someone for this. Myself included, though almost always in reference to The Big Lebowski.
Questions include:
Do you think Eddie Murphy deserved an Oscar nomination for his role in Ninja Nights?
Are you excited that elephant party 7 got five Oscar nominations today?
Do you think Chris Christie received an Oscar nomination for his role in Life of Pie?
Do you think Eddie Murphy deserved an Oscar nomination for his role in Ninja Nights3: The Reckoning?
Do you think Eddie Murphy deserved an Oscar nomination for his role in Ninja Retreats?
The big question here is, does the Jimmy Kimmel Show only invent fake movies with Eddie Murphy in them, or do people only lie about having seen Eddie Murphy films? Also, you may come away from this believing that human beings are gullible, insecure dunces. I’m not sure if that’s true, but people who visit the Hollywood walk of fame in the middle of day and are thrilled to be man-on-the-street interview subjects are almost certainly gullible, insecure dunces.
Unless they told the people beforehand “just go along with everything I say,” which would just be mean.
A few weeks back I reported on rumors that the studio was looking at Russell Brand for the part of Johnny Depp’s sidekick in Pirates of the Carribbean 4. Now those rumors are being confirmed… by The Sun.
The deal to play Jonathan, younger brother of Johnny Depp’s character, could be worth £5million. A source said: “There couldn’t be a role more perfectly suited. There’s a lot of Jack Sparrow in his mannerisms and behaviour. Depp’s accent isn’t a million miles away from Russell’s either.”
Reading news in the British press is about the same as hearing it from your aunt’s neighbor’s cousin’s plumber’s Filipino ladyboy-slave. This one might be true, but keep in mind these are the same people who reported Cher would play Catwoman in the next Batman movie. Also note: two separate sources chose to illustrate this story with a photoshopped picture. The Daily Mail even went so far as to put a copyright symbol at the bottom of theirs. I feel this bears repeating: A mainstream media outlet pasted Russell Brand’s face on Johnny Depp’s body, and then claimed a copyright on it. This is a joke, right? Some dry British thing that we missed? Oy claims a copyroight, Oy did. Me maites n oy’s gonna hav a propa laff about dis one, else Oy ain’t dog’s your uncle lorrie bobby lift, eh guv?
