Dunn didn't die from anything Jackass did, though, unless you count buying a high-end sports car with his Jackass money as "something Jackass did".

Yeah true, I wasn't thinking of it in terms of what they were doing on the show.

This thread actually got me to rewatch Jackass 1 and I just got to the part where Dunn flips the golf cart and someone offscreen just says "Dunn can't drive for poo poo."

I don't like his movies, I don't think they're good. YMMV.

I do think Jonze is a good actor, though - he was certainly on par with Clooney in Three Kings.

Reminds me of a great moment in the "Blade Runner" documentary they did a few years ago, where they play outtakes from the narration and after a few seconds you hear Ford in the sound booth say, "This is just bizarre. I don't see how this is going to work, Ridley."

I was ready to take you to task for this comment, but then I read the wikipedia page for Manic Pixie Dream Girl, and realized that this may be the archetypal instance. I hope you're wrong, because it has a lot of potential, but if the most important defining quality of a MPDG is a character whose development is in stasis while they help the male lead well then...

Why would they give away an "Indy just shoots the guy" moment in a trailer? Bad decision of giving that away aside, it looks entertaining.

I'm not sure it's "a manic pixie dream girl," if anything it seems to suggest it's modeled after his mom. Which is going to be really weird.

edit: you know, it's an overused, tired old concept for a story, and yet the trailer makes it feel interesting again by exploring new angles. The main character seems be so free with sharing his life with a computer, what's keeping him from being open with humans?

There's a kernel of a legitimately problematic fictional archetype in the term, so I don't mind it being used in the general case. But by this point, "Commentaries on MPDGs that get labeled MPDGs by lazy readers" seem like they're more common than actual MPDGs. Granted, being a commentary on the trope isn't automatically a good thing: I recognize what Ruby Sparks was setting out to do and thought it did most of a good job with it, but I still ended up despising that movie for its denouement.

Trailer for the new Clooney written/directed movie The Monuments Men. About the real life story of the US Army's Monuments, Fine Arts and Archives program during WWII which was charged with finding culturally significant works and keeping the Nazis from blowing them up.

It has a hell of a cast with Clooney, Matt Damon, Cate Blanchett, John Goodman, Bill Murray and Jean Dujardin.

It seems that computers are now powerful and relatively cheap enough that good CGI is more about talent, effort, and time than technology costs.
