Jul 17 2008Will Ferrell Playing 'Two-Face'! But Racist Instead of Disfigured!
Just the other day I sitting around with some friends, laughing about how lazy, savage, etc. minorities are--and, of course, discussing how awesome Dark Knight will be--when I suddenly realized, "Guys, why aren't there any movies about us, racists, that also make an exploitative reference to the current Batman craze?" As usual, Hollywood was one step ahead of me:
After years of toying with the project, Will Ferrell is getting serious about "Two Face," a Vince Gilligan-scripted drama-comedy for Sony Pictures Entertainment.Ferrell is attached to play the title character, a racist who, after a prank gone awry, develops a split personality.
Gee, I hope the split personality doesn't make him think he's other races, leading at first to many comic misunderstandings and racial caricatures but ultimately to character reform, because, man, that would be a really awful, predictable movie. Also, I hope the racist "prank" isn't lynching, because that's not really a prank, and I don't think we should start thinking of it as such.

How about we just fucking lynch Farrell?

@1: I second the notion.

Can he even play two different personalities? He's been doing the same part for how many movies now? I third the motion.

It should be like Soul Man meets Face Off. Half of his face is black and hates white people, Jews and Mexicans, the other half is white and hates Blacks, Muslims and midgets. He inherently hates himself, alienates his friends and family and hilarity ensues...

I liked it better when it was called Watermelon Man!

Ngh....T_T Perhaps he should have quit while he was ahead...(Around the time of Blades of Glory...don't talk to me about Semi-Pro.)

I hope that that statement you made isn't for real my friend because I will stop reading this site if it is true. Perhaps you won't care about losing a reader, but you need to come correct when you state dumb, fuc...king comments like that.
I hope it's not your real personality because if it is, I feel sorry for you.

Dear Berith,
Don't be weird boy.
He obviously joking.
Get a clue.
Hugs and kisses,

#8's comment was the funniest thing I've read all day. I just knew some moron in here wouldn't understand the sarcasm or be able to take a joke. Honestly, Berith... Why So Serious?

Hey, Berith...go somewhere else. The adults are talking now.

Have you guys heard the news? They invented this new thing called "sarcasm." Apparently it's all the rage with movie bloggers. Yay, science! :)

Do you guys really think I was good as the Joker? I didn't..that's why I fucking killed myself. That and I'm a fucking coward and a fag. Oh well, The Dark Knight will gross a lot of money even though I won't see a cent. Damn. Oh well, Hitler's coming by for his daily BJ, and it's my turn to suck him dry.
XOXOXO

Is Will Farrell ever gonna grow up? He's getting too old for this shit and I'm tired of him ruining every movie he's in. Stay away from my shows. It's bad enough he's put out at least one movie every year for the the last 5 yrs, now this one and Land of the Lost. Fuck it, I'm not going to movies anymore, I'm just gonna keep updating my own Dvd library. God save us from Hollywierd.
