General Movie Thread

I watched Michael Keaton's "The Merry Gentleman" this weekend and wanted to pass along that the film contains a scene where the main characters burn a Christmas tree. The burning Christmas tree scene is also featured as the background for the film's Special Features menu.

Michael Keaton?  sounds like Hollywood.

THE TOOTH FAIRY.  There's no "Hulking up" from this one, Rock.

How long can the last line in a movie trailer be?

Do you think that's what Messrs Orr and Ocasek were thinking when they penned that chestnut so long ago?

The Cars did a song called "Tooth Fairy"?

I watched Funny People last night, thought it was pretty good, although it kind of went on forever.  It seemed like there was a natural point for the film to end, but another part was added on.  I thought the bonus disc was hilarious, maybe funnier than the film, and as long.  I wonder if they actually included the best bits in the movie.  The bonus disc also includes a clip of a precocious Seth Rogan doing stand up at the age of 13.

THE TOOTH FAIRY.  

I'm very sad to learn that Dwayne Johnson did not do his own skating for this.  My fondness for him would have grown tenfold had I found out he knows his way around a rink.  As it is, I can't help thinking a little less of him.  Unfair, I know.

I find it interesting that Stephen Merchant featured so much in the trailer, yet didn't get to say a word.

I hope you're not kidding about Dwayne "da Rock" Johnson ... I like the guy too, I can't help it.

Everybody loves Dwayne The Rock Johnson!

Come on. The guy was a Champion professional wrestler. I think he's already established his great athletic ability.

What, you wanted TWO English accents in the trailer?  That's not how we roll over here.

Of course I love Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson.  Never as a wrestler (I preferred Goldberg, who was in a different league, I believe), but from the first moment I saw him make fun of himself (on an episode of That 70s Show).  It's just that if it had turned out he could skate, too, my adoration would have been complete, and I feel a little cheated knowing that he faked it.

Same here - I don't think I've seen much pro wrestling so I have no idea what that was like, but I just like his whole thing and I like how cartoony he is and how he sort of revels in his cartooniness. I see how you feel let down! He doesn't seem human.
