EDDIE MURPHY NOT VERY GREEN, RELEVANT

06.18.08 Written by Vince Mancini

This is a photo of the three-ton Eddie Murphy head that’s currently being pulled from Los Angeles to New York City by a gas-guzzling truck, most likely driven by a meth-guzzling truck driver.   This enormous waste of resources is a promotion for the enormous waste of celluloid known as Meet Dave, Murphy’s most ill-advised career move since Pluto Nash. Says DeadlineHollywoodDaily:

A studio source emailed me, "Yeah, but it’s a lot cheaper and greener than flying Eddie around on a private jet for a press tour." 

Hey, you know what else is cheap and green?  Flubber.  And, it’s more entertaining than this movie.  You can use it to make fart sounds!  Oh my God, I will never get tired of this!  Eww, mom, gross!

EDDIE MURPHY HAS LOST HIS DAMNED MIND

03.25.08 Written by Vince Mancini

Eddie Murphy has made a lot of crappy movies.  Like, A LOT of crappy movies.  And yet, he may have topped himself with Meet Dave, his latest.

Seeking a way to save their doomed world, a crew of tiny, human-looking aliens arrives on earth in the perfect disguise–a spaceship shaped like an ordinary man.  [MovieWeb]

No, really, that’s the actual synopsis.  You’d think this would be something I’d make up, like, “Eddie Murphy’s in some trouble… when he has a to run a day care center… full of bunny rabbits!” or, “You’ve never seen Eddie Murphy like this before! [quit cut to Eddie Murphy heavily made up to look like Asian girl with down syndrome] ‘Durr, I rike chow mein! [winks at camera].”

But I didn’t make it up, because what’s the point?  Eddie Murphy has made satire obsolete.
