STOP-LOSS: RYAN PHILLIPPE JOINS THE ARMY

10.18.07 Written by Vince Mancini


Back in Texas after fighting in Iraq, a young Army soldier (Ryan Phillippe) refuses orders to return to the war. Co-starring Channing Tatum, Joseph Gordon-Levitt and Abbie Cornish, “Stop-Loss” hits theaters on March 28, 2008.

Hey, you know what would really class up this important story about the U.S. Army not honoring its enlistment contracts?  That "Let the Bodies Hit the Floor" song by Drowning Pool.  Nothing says poignant like nü metal.  And Drowning Pool?  Perfect! They’re like the Candlebox of the Limp Bizkit era!

RYAN PHILLIPPE IS A VIKING

09.06.07 Written by Vince Mancini

Ryan Phillippe, along with Sean Bean and Abbie Cornish (I hear she’s a real game hen. Get it? Ugh), will be starring in a viking epic called Last Battle Dreamer.

Phillippe will star as a seventh-century Viking warrior named Thorfinn who, along with his older brother, the battle-scarred Hakon (Sean Bean), invades Britain.

Jesus Christ, Hollywood, first you ruin pirates with talking monkeys, ghost stories, and Jerry Bruckheimer, and now you’re trying to sell us Ryan Phillippe as a guy named ‘Thorfinn’?  Next you’ll be making a Mongol movie where everyone sits around indian style eating crepes.  Vikings are supposed to be like ZZ Top killing priests with axes, not androgynous, pouty-lipped pretty boys who I’d probably bone if we were in pris – uh… GRR, FOOTBALL.  

I’m not seeing this unless it has at least 5 scenes involving nun rape.  Screw Hollywood and their rape-free revisionist history.
