We're just givin you poo poo man, some movies can seem great the first time and suck the next time.

I remember being in a super dark place in my life and seeing Synechdoche, NY high as a kite and thought it was going to go down as one of the landmark movies of the 21st Century. Almost 10 years later and it's a forgotten curiosity at best, and rewatching it is a massive chore.

Exactly. He's a teenage sex symbol turned stooge for a bunch of schlubby beyond-middle-aged manchild comedians whose movies almost always include women younger than them who find them desirable, the whole thing is just incredibly Freudian.

In a few moments my neighbor is going to exit this building's ground floor, out onto the sidewalk. According to my math, from this height, I can kill him by pissing on him.

I feel like Terry Crews is too good for this right now, but then I look at his filmography and realize that nah, he's in a lot of lovely stuff. I get that everyone has to do "hey, a paycheque's a paycheque" movies, he just seems to recognize and own that fact in a more self-aware way than others I guess, which is why the Terry Crews brand stays so strong.
He'll be the best thing about this garbage movie.

While there's a self-awareness about him, especially in comedies, I seem to remember reading/hearing an interview with him about how he's "blessed" with a career he never could have imagined for himself. And that every role he takes from the commercials to movies he does wholeheartedly and enthusiastically because he truly is enjoying what he's doing. I think people can see that and respond to that.

And in a roundabout way that's why Terry Crews has such a good career-- he enjoys the art of creating more than he does the idea of creating art, which from an individual point of view is commendable.

"Let me put my pee-pee in your tee-pee."-an actual quote from the script.

As they explain in the Hollywood Handbook podcast, this is very offensive. The Indians in the film would use wigwams and the script should be "I wanna put my figfam in your wigwam."

Also there's great lines like "If you're sits-on-face then I'm stiff-in-pants." It was written by 5th graders.

It never stops.

The scene where Terry Crews is naked, covered in blood and singing "I've Got No Strings" from Pinocchio in Gamer is the highlight of his career.

God bless Terry Crews/Neveldine/Taylor/and what the hell, Hollywood Handbook is wonderful, too.

Terry Crews had been the good part of some mediocre movies, like the aforementioned puppet string dancing in Gamer, the almost viral video of him singing to Vanessa Carlton in White Chicks, and his stint as president in Idiocracy. So he likely will be the exception to the norm in the shitshow of Adam Sandler's racist movie

I've known a lot of adults that laugh and laugh hard at moments like that for some reason. Like they're not usually laughers and then when they see a moment like this they honk at it. I don't really get it and won't pretend I've got some superior taste, but people do viscerally respond to dumb poo poo like that.

I'm not looking forward to that show because of Marvel, or the story, or anything to do with the actual show. I'm looking forward to seeing the fangirls that only know him from Doctor Who either tear themselves apart, or start trying to validate The Worst Person.

So I endorse this promo art, which will basically ensure that these things will happen.
