The trailer looks great, but if you follow the NFL it looks like the big plot twist at the end of the film is basically spoiled by the trailer. Argh.


Yah, this is the #3 thing movie trailers need to stop doing. I hate that shit.

Just another way being observant and semi-intelligent can bite you in the ass.

He is patently wrong for this role.
I love PO's comedy, but he is NOT destined to be a serious actor in my opinion. He just doesn't have the range, I believe.

I'll have to completely disagree. Just looking at the trailer, without thoughts of "he's a comedian," That's a surprisingly good job for a new actor. Using the example already given of Giamatti, he adds something that Giamatti really couldn't. You already feel the intense pidgin hold on Aufiero's life, just by looking at Oswalds face. Oswald invokes a feeling of someone who's slowly losing the one thing that makes him different. Giamatti would have made the character into someone railing again all these outside forces. Even the trailer would be different in what it presents the moral of the movie as.


I'm going to have to agree with you here. Before this trailer, I'd never even HEARD of this guy. Maybe I'm sheltered or whatever but when I saw the title of this Sift, I was like "wait who?"

Then I watched it and I thought it looked pretty good. I don't see how griefer could have taken it the way he did.

I dunno... I think he fits the niche for the obsessive/sheltered-yet-touching fan. This movie looks promising from what I see so far.

Pidgin hold?

That trailer is all about 1:58 =P


That's what I was about to say.

It's funny how quickly that distracted me. My thought process was something like: "Hey this looks pretty interesting I've always liked Patton Oswald he's a funny little hobbit it might be nice to see him be serious and BOOBS!! BIG BOUNCY BOOBS!! Have to post about boobs!"

The problem with typecasting isn't in the actors abilities, it's within your perceptions of the actor.

Open your mind and give him a shot, maybe he'll surprise you.

Looks pretty interesting.

I'm not so sure about the casting either. I was thinking Paul Giamatti would be perfect for it, but maybe he's tired of playing the "every man" role. I'll give Patton the benefit of the doubt, though, and who knows, maybe I'll be surprised.

How many Hipsters does it take to screw in a light bulb?
Actually, it's a really obscure number, you've probably never heard of it.



Man, that's friggin' hilarious!

I would have guessed none, as modern lightbulbs are so passe.
