Dude, Where's My Harry Met Sally

[seriousart]

You know what I’ve always said about When Harry Met Sally?
That it’d be a lot better if only they did a half-ass remake/ ripoff with Ashton Kutcher.

Well, I needn’t bitch anymore. It’s happening:
http://www.movieweb.com/movies/film.php?2927

It takes some people years to fall in love at first sight… A LOT LIKE LOVE is a romantic comedy about destiny, connection and the frequently fuzzy line between chance friendships and happily ever after. A LOT LIKE LOVE traces the relationship of Oliver (ASHTON KUTCHER) and Emily (AMANDA PEET) who meet on a flight from Los Angeles to New York seven years ago - each of them declaring that they couldn’t be more wrong for each other.

Life keeps bringing them back together over the next seven years, but the timing never seems right. As they struggle with their different partners, careers and breakups, they turn from casual acquaintances into trusted friends who can say anything to one another.

As they each search for love and a relationship that’s not fated for disaster, it takes seven years for Oliver and Emily to figure out that maybe what they really have is something…a lot like love.

The site feature a Windows-only trailer, presently, so I haven’t been able to watch it, yet.

My eyes! The goggles do nothing!

Seriously, this killed my appetite for lunch.

I’m filled with disgust and loathing.

Next up: Khartoum

Dick Plain (Ashton Kutcher), who owns a nightclub in Khartoum, discovers his old flame Esperanza (Paris Hilton) is in town with her husband, Hank (Adam Sandler) . Hank is a resistance leader, and with Janjaweed on his tail, Esperanza knows Dick can help them get out of the country - but will he?

Oh, no, you can’t use that excuse. M$ makes a Mac version of Windows Media Player. You can download it and watch if you really wanted to. Now I can’t say you didn’t give me fair warning in the OP; but I watched anyway.

Why? sob Why did I watch?

What’s sad is I actually tried to watch and got denied. I have WMP on my Mac but I get a message saying :“Sorry, video is not supported for Macintosh computers at this time.”
That’s fate telling me to run the hell away, I guess.

Keep your eyes peeled for the next Martin Lawrence vehicle… He plays a street-smart, jive-talking, newspaper magnate who longs for his beloved sled he owned as a child named rose-bitch. Lawrence will also appear in drag as his nagging wife.
Working title: He So Kane.

Ah, ah, gagging.

WHMS is one of my most loved movies, so this is pretty sacriligeous to me. The soundtrack during the trailer didn’t help matters either, imho.

The problem with that is that there already is a movie named “Khartoum,” (an old Charlton Heston “action adventure yarn”) so you’re just opening the door to confusion. To really make it a true knockoff, it would have to be called something like “Rabat” or even “Fez.”

Ehh, it could be worse. They could be remaking Guess Who’s Coming To Dinner? with Ashton Kutcher in the Sidney Poitier role and Bernie Mac in the Spencer Tracy role.

But of course Hollywood would never do anything like that.

@IMDB

The director’s reason for making the film? “I have a 12-and-a-half-year-old daughter who’s beautiful, and I’m sure she’s going to come home one day with some Lithuanian, Samoan, punk-rock drummer dude, and I thought if I did this movie I’d be able to work out my issues before that day comes.”

Oh, fuck, dude. Write a fucking Kutcher fanfic or some angsty poetry and post it on Geocities instead. Don’t inflict this garbage/trash/pondscum/santorum//toxic waste/dogshit/bungslime on the world 'cause YOU’VE got potential issues about your baby girl’s love life.

Not to worry, Not A Tame Lion. Due to budget constraints, the working title has been changed to “Cleveland.” The plot will now revolve around tickets to the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. The writers and director have yet to agree on whether it will involve obtaining same, or trying to get rid of them.

The gently ironic name “Fez” was nixed early on, in case the potential audience thought the MacGuffin was a Turkish hat.
