Hey, girl, this is the trailer for Crazy, Stupid, Love, teaming Baby Goose with Steve Carell.  Haha, relax, girl, it’s just a title.  I don’t think love is crazy or stupid.  This time around, Steve Carell plays a schlubby, middle-aged divorcee, and Baby Goose plays the womanizing ladies man who helps him get his groove back.  It’s a bit of a stretch for me, girl, because in real life, I’m more of a kitties man.  If I want to help someone find their groove, all I need is my Jansport full of Swiss Miss and a Raffi tape.  Acting!  Haha, I love you, make believe.

Holy sh*t, is this supposed to be a parody?  How many flaccid rom-com clichés could we squeeze into one trailer?  Besides the plot itself, we’ve got the trying-stuff-on-montage while the cool character nods or shakes his head, the Girl Who Changes Everything for the womanizer, the precocious random kid who gives spot-on love advice, the divorced couple that falls back in love (because that always happens…), the Marisa Tomei-nurses-a-broken-guy-back-to-health… Did I miss any?  How was this directed by the guys who did Bad Santa? I hope there was a buttf*cking scene they had to cut out, because otherwise this looks terrible.

George Clooney is set to direct and star in The Ides of March, a malt liquor political drama based on the Beau Willimon play, Farragut North. Clooney will star as Governor Morris, a candidate in the Democratic presidential primaries. The role is loosely based on Howard Dean’s historic run for the Democratic nomination, and I’ll follow historic with *plays Hail to the Chief in fart noises* BEEYAH!

Clooney is joined by FilmDrunk Hollywood Cougar Hall-of-Fame Lifetime Achievement recipient Marisa Tomei, as well as sex muffin Evan Rachel Wood and great personalities Philip Seymour Hoffman and Paul Giamatti, to round out the all-star cast. But most importantly, playing Stephen Myers, the governor’s press spokesman, is our favorite gentleman, Ryan Gosling. Myers explores the dark side of politics to help his candidate earn the party’s nomination. Hey girl, remember to vote on this Election Day – Baby Goose is running for Lovernor.  Remember to vote yes on Proposition 69, Bloginity:

Marisa Tomei won a best supporting actress Oscar in 1992 for My Cousin Vinny, and was nominated again in 2008 for The Wrestler.  She’s been nominated or won virtually every acting award multiple times, and looked great naked at the age of 43 (I recommend a Google Image Search).  So what will an actress of her caliber be doing at this year’s Oscars?  I’m glad you asked.  She’ll be appearing in a commercial for Bertolli alongside Dan Cortese.

A Bertolli campaign carrying the theme “Italy is served” will be introduced during the broadcast; viewers will also learn about a series of Web videos, “Into the Heart of Italy,” to be shown online beginning on March 16.
The Oscars represent “the best possible place to present films we shot in Italy with an award-winning actress,” Mr. Vaneri said, referring to the Web videos, which will feature Marisa Tomei, who won an Academy Award for best supporting actress. She appears along with the chef Rocco DiSpirito and the actor Dan Cortese. [NY Times via Vulture]

Jesus, who’s her agent, Tony Danza?  When you have a campaign called “Italy is served”, you don’t call an Oscar-winning actress, you get Channing Tatum to breakdance fight a jar of your new Alfredo sauce.  And DAN EFFING CORTESE?  Any agent knows, you write a contract without a No-Dan-Cortese clause, you’re practically begging to get fired. Wanna see what happened last time we let Dan Cortese do a commercial?

Earlier this week I emerged from the woods and presented you all with the first trailer for Cyrus, starring John C. Reilly, an oval Jonah Hill and Marisa Tomei. Well, yesterday I once again returned to the foliage in search of firewood and unconscious spring breakers, only to return with two new movie clips for you…and half of a Butterfinger.

After the jump, I’ve got the trailer for Cyrus, the latest project from writing/directing, brother duo, Jay Duplass and Mark Duplass (The Puffy Chair, Baghead). Cyrus centers on the story of a recent divorcee (John C. Reilly) who winds up meeting the perfect woman (Marisa Tomei), only to find out that her grown-ass son (Jonah Hill), who is dependently obsessed with her, multiplies if you feed him after midnight still lives at home with her.
