THIS IS AN *OFFICIAL PUBLICITY STILL*

11.24.09 Written by Vince Mancini

The headline says it all, folks.  This is an actual publicity still from Old Dogs, and it is simply magical.  I can only assume they’re going the Miracle Whip route and trying to outdo Faces of Old Dogs by making their own marketing so over-the-top ridiculous that parody is obsolete.  But… that’s a lot of credit to give any group of people who thought this clip was an effective advertisement.  You can actually see the boom mic guy’s reflection on the side of the car!  This is either an elaborate piece of performance art or it was directed by the real-life three stooges.

TRAVOLTA IS AN IDIOT

(via FacesofOldDogs)

USA Today recently did a fluff piece on the modern classic Old Dogs, and you just know someone was quoted saying something really stupid because just look at this embarrassment.  I’d rather watch a snuff film about a relative.  Anyway, the winner of the dipsh-t sweepstakes is John Travolta, who says reading the script was “the hardest I ever laughed.”

Travolta says that one lure of the film was the centerpiece scene, where Travolta and Williams mix up their medications. Travolta’s face turns into a Joker-like smile, while Williams’ tongue grows to the size of a dill pickle.

“That scene, I’ve probably laughed harder than I ever have,” Travolta says. “I knew I wanted to do the movie when I read that part. I’d pay $10 to see that scene.”

Would you?  Would you pay $10 to see it when it was in The Game Plan with The Rock, or just the other 30 times it happened in a stupid movie? Don’t answer that, just choke.

SWEET MOTHER OF GOD.

11.04.09 Written by Vince Mancini

In this new clip from Old Dogs, Robin Williams and Seth Green go golfing with some Asian businessmen (what an original premise!), and things are going great until (*RECORD SCRATCH*) Seth Green gets hit in the nuts!  And then (*RECORD SCRATCH*) someone else gets hit in the nuts!

There are no words to describe how preposterously bad this clip is.  After I played it, my dog covered his eyes with his paws and my Dominican maid crossed herself.
