"Starring Vin Diesel."

"Jason Statham said no."

That is my favorite. I'm still laughing.

Also, please review Press Start 2 Continue.

Sorry Bob... but was that meant to be funny?

I didn't find it so, I'm afraid. Perhaps it's because I don't often read film press releases (or know who Joss Whedon is), so just didn't get it. Also, it struck me as overly cynical.

That was pretty funny. Hurrah for cynical humour!

I wonder what Vin Diesel would think of it...

Really like the "From the people who brought you..." line

It's crazy how they link movie together with that little phrase.

OK, now I know I should have heard of this guy before. I wonder why I haven't.

You are probably young, didn't see Dr. Horrible, and/or watch TV in the late 90s/early 2000s.

There is one inaccuracy in this article: Jason Statham has NEVER said "No" to a movie role.

(it's a shame, because he's actually a very good actor)

"The years first big summer movie"

"We don't have the balls to go head to head with actual big summer movies"

The king of this is Ron Pearlman though. Jason Statham can't hold a candle to the silly stuff he has put out, and yet he is a really good classicaly trained actor. My theory is he is just having fun.

"Screenplay by Joss Whedon!" :D hahahah!

Moviebob is quickly becoming one of the three things I check out regularly on this site along with ZP and Critical Miss. (And yes, this was the most perfect fan-response I could make, just because I want to show how much I appreciate what you write :p)

save that she is fiercely (yet demurely) attracted exclusively to non-threatening nice guys who happen to resemble the males in the film's target audience."

SHORT VERSION:

"Screenplay by Joss Whedon!"
Ah... Have you ever seen anything by Joss Whedon? I'll grant the "beating up guys twice their size" thing, but that last bit is sheer nonsense.
