Oct 23 2007New 'I'm Not There' Trailer Borders on Parody

Interesting concept for this movie. Seems like there has been talk about the making of this movie for a long time. It's weird, but I think Kate Blanchet actually makes the best "dylan". I wonder if this one will tank. I can't imagine the average movie goer racing to the theater for it.

It really did seem like that SNL skit...too funny.

I can't stress "fuck this movie" enough. Musician biopics need to go the fuck away. I'm sure baby boomers and trickle down hipsters will get all tight in the pants watching one of their heroes on the big screen but I will never watch this turd. Besides thinking Bob Dylan is at best mediocre, the premise for the film is ridiculous. Why not just get a jacket to play Dylan, then a piece of celery with a cigarette being held on with some peanut butter, then a bottle of drain-o? Why ot just have 90 minutes of blank screen, no text, no sound. If he is no one and he feels he isn't important, then give him what he wants.

Fuck this movie.

Fuck you Jay

Yeah, fuck you Jay.

This looks like the most creative take on a biopic that I've seen in a long time.

So fuck you and "Bob Dylan is at best mediocre". Dylan is no god in my eyes, but at least I have the sense to realise he was one of last century's greatest poets.

Goddamn Jay, you are a douchebag.

So Darrell Hammond was the Bob Dylan Balloon??

I'm sick of the self-congratulating pretentious Hollywood crap. This just looks like another movie exclaiming that "Hollywood knows musicians! We're not all just into ourselves!" This would be much more imaginative if it was a made up musician, instead of elevating Dylan to some sort of deity. I'll probably rent it, because Christian Bale and Cate Blanchett are awesome.

This makes me long for the days of Eddie and The Cruisers.

i will fucking go see it.

Just because it's "different" doesn't mean it's going to be worth a shit. I don't doubt the filmmaker has some amazing vision coinciding with how Bob Dylan sees himself regarding the whole different people playing him thing, but fuck this. It's going to be a turd.

This is nothing more than pretentious mastabatory crap for people who get suckered in by smoke and mirrors.

If you want poetry, go to O'Hare and read the stall walls. Fuck that go to jail, read the shit in holding cells. THAT, is the most honest and relevant poetry you'll ever read. If you want to hear the voice of the downtrodden who have nothing to lose, go get locked up for a few days and take a notepad.

Also, I hear that Michel Gondry cast a week old piece of cornbread to play Ghandi, the drummer from Steely Dan, and Michel Gondry himself all in the same film! Wowzers!

Fuck this movie.

hahah, thouhg I don't agree Jay actually makes a valid point or at the very least, an amusing parody of South Park proportions

I'm a huge, HUGE Dylan fan, but I have to say he's far from being one of last century's greatest poets - he is one of last century's (and this century's, so far) greatest pop musicians, but he is not in the upper echelon of poets. Nor is he trying to be.

As for this movie, I'm really looking forward to Cate Blanchett, but no so much the rest of it - Christian Bale, talented as he is, just seems wrong for this and I hate Ledger and Gere. With a passion. I'll wait 'til I've seen the whole thing before passing judgement on whether the structure is genius or gimmickry - that's not really something you can tell from the trailer, which is fractured by its very nature.

Jay, why not head back to the folks in jail if that's where "relevant poetry" is? Poets like Maya Angelou, Robert Frost and Emily Dickenson really learned their prose in the slammer - anything else is smoke and mirrors!

lvtori is right, you are a total douchebag.

I'm with Jay. Fuck this movie, and fuck Bob Dylan. Who cares about that fucking dinosaur anymore? That assholes been dead for 30 years. His music is tired and lame. I once let my then 17 year old cousin listen to one of his songs, and he chuckled and rolled his eyes. Try reading your genius poets music lyrics without music. They're laughable, and indecipherable. He's a fucking joke, dinosaur just looking for a tar pit

All you baby boomer retards should just fucking die already.

#12 here has to be the most ignorant person I've ever lowered myself to try to understand. I am probably younger than you and now I will forever know that there are elders out there that are just tearing down any ounce of intellect society has left. And he is not dead dick, he is still writing music that is (like his old stuff too) very much alive. Not to mention this imbisile "Jay" who wrote this, who by the way "I watch stuff" should ban. But, back to this "Pastafarian" douche (which by the way does that name just totally brand you a stupid fat guy that has nothing better to do than type nonsense - come to think of it that sounds perfect for you) how old are you anyway?? . I am lowering myself just to lash out at you in hopes that your IQ might grow having read this. Go listen to your Brittany Spears - Blackout and stop making all of us, who have futures, read your feeble attempts at bashing something you don't even know about with profanity, just because you have no other words to fill the dumbass junctures in your 2nd grade level sentences.

I apologize to any civilized people who were offended by this, I jsut get very tired of disrespectfull, brainless jackasses like #12 above, Mr. "Pastafarian"

When reading Paul Celan's 'Psalm', I frequently reflect on how insignificant it is in comparison to the 'oeuvre' shat out by Dylan.
