Aug 26 2008Jim Carrey and Ewan McGregor Are So Gonna Kiss
The first shot from I Love You Phillip Morris (described as "Catch Me if You Can meets Brokeback Mountain," due to madcap criminality and the presence of gayness) has been released, bringing to life your erotic fan fiction where Ace Ventura falls through a portal and ends up doing it with a young and curious Obi-Wan Kenobi. Yes, we all know about that.

God damn it! really? Its getting to the point where a movie can be utter shit but as long as there is a gay theme where someone has to overcome other people's dislike of gays then the movie is good or even oscar-worthy (brokeback mountain, boys don't cry). The only good movie like this IMO was the Birdcage.

Huh.
As much as I don't want to hear it, I'm sure that people are going to be bending over (no pun intended) and praising Ewan and Jim for their formidable acting talents because they make out. It's not that I have any beef with either actor, I think that McGregor is a wonderful actor, but for some reason, going a gay scene all of a sudden seems to become the prerequisite for talented actors. I mean, sure, they're making out with a dude, but fuck for 10 million dollars, wouldn't you kiss a man and act like you like it?
Hell, I'll do it for 100 bucks.
Fuck it, 20 bucks.
10 bucks?
Come on, two dollars and fifty cents, someone please just give me some goddamn action.

Now if only we could have a trailer :p?
Excited for this movie, but I'm just a bit worried about Jim Carrey. He doesn't have the best track record with drama-ish movies...no worries about Ewan though, lol.

@ Julian
Dude. Did you *see* any 'movie like this' other than The Birdcage :p?

Isn't Philip Morris a major tobacco company? Is this going to be a film attempt to make us want to smoke like back in the old days? Maybe this time, it'll be a reverse on Freudian symbolism and penis will represent cigarettes. Now whenever something else gets smoked in this movie, I'll be thinking about cigarettes. Damned clever tobacco companies.

Um. this makes me mad. And not like for the reasons you're probably thinking. Just because I'm mad for such a weird reason. I'll bet everyone i know would know why i'm mad. OMIGAWD. im really like.. wowo. WOWOW.

Jim Carrey has Dorothy Hamill hair...haha

i don't think i'm mistaken in saying this wouldn't be Ewan's first gay(ish) role. so keep your Oscar-baiting bashing for Carrey (if need be). thanks.

@ 9 - You're right, in Velvet Goldmine he got it on alternately with Jonathan Rhys-Meyers and Christian Bale. I find myself wishing as hard as a chick could wish that this movie were made with Christian Bale instead of Jim Carrey. I wish, I wish, I wish.

@10, I agree...I'm not crazy about Jim Carey. Ewan and Bale or Ewan and Jude Law...I could go for that.
