Trailer Trash: Chapter 27

In which Jared Leto looks like a fat ass, Lindsay Lohan still looks hot, and hopes for a Beatles reunion crash like a Ringo drum fill.

I wonder if fat people are pissed off at this movie. There are plenty of fat actors that are talented but out of work. And yet Hollywood is always casting skinny actors to play fat people. It's unfair, like when when they cast Koreans to play Chinamen, or when white actors put on black face.

Of course, Jared Leto did gain 67 pounds for the role of Mark David Chapman, making him, technically, a fatty too. That shitty Emo band that Leto is in must have been pissed off. Who ever heard of an emo band with a fat lead singer? Did he still wear tight shirts?

We got here your standard based-on-a-true-story-of-a-crazy-person film, meant as Oscar bait for Leto and comeback fodder for Lindsay Lohan. Neither of which will work, because the movie is gonna be total shit. The problem with the movie told from the point of view of the crazy person, is that not only is the crazy person completely unreliable, he’s also fucking annoying. That’s probably what made him so crazy in the first place, the fact that no one could stand to be around him.

So if Lohan really does sleep with Fat-Leto, as the trailer seems to suggest, it’ll completely blow the film’s credibility. You may as well have Paul McCartney take the bullet for John and sing the first verse of Blackbird as he slowly bleeds to death.

And how come the only way to show that a person is crazy is to show flash frames of random shit? Aren't there some crazy people that are just mellow? I bet some lunatic’s point of view is more like a Jim Jarmusch film, all long static shots, with John Lurie mumbling at the edge of the frame.
