So I was going to make my first film blog about the sad news that THE GREAT Guillermo Del Toro has dropped out of directing The Hobbit (I will give my thoughts on that sometime) But today an even worse thing has happened in the world of film....
THE FIRST ONE SHEET OF THE JACK BLACK GULLIVER'S TRAVELS APPEARED ONLINE!
First these modern versions of classic literature satires NEVER work. Don't believe me, check out any one of the million adaptations of Mark Twain's A Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur's Court.
Second Jack Black's ridiculous posturing and annoying shouting is no place for Dean Swift's razor sharp political satire. What's he doing do scream in the face of 17th Century society, oh and then play his guitar....? GOD HELP US!!!!!
And for the love of Jesus, "Black is the New Big" WHAT??? For Christ sake...It'd almost as if the sycophantic money grabbing bastards who made this CRAP where only drawn to this masterpiece of a book because they can show the main character being tied down by little people....Argh But nah I'm being to cynical about this...Anyway below is the link to the stupid poster and you can see this hideous monstrosity when it opens in December...I'll be the one outside with the placard defending the integrity of one of Ireland's greatest writers...
