As we draw closer to Ryan Reynolds having his own (possibly) massive big-budget superhero franchise, the studios seem to be falling over themselves to keep him steeped in romantic comedies. Last month, Working Title films dropped fat cash for a treatment that has Ryan Reynolds cross dressing to win back his ex, and now Universal has picked up a film that was obviously reverse-engineered from the title.
TMI, as Variety has it, will star Reynolds and Anna Faris and, “the comic premise is that while honesty is the best policy for a relationship, “too much information” might not be the best thing.” …which is a fucking clincher of a concept if I’ve ever heard one. I pray that Green Lantern does gangbusters so this guy can make more interesting movies. I pray even harder that he actually wants to.
I’ve resolutely decided that if these are the decision being made in Hollywood, I’ve got to get in on this shit. So yeah, look for WTF: The Motion Picture, IRL: The Movie, and JFGI: The Flicker to be picked up soon, penned by yours truly.*
*See if you can guess which one I think will actually happen one day…

This sounds like a threat.
I just know we are only a few years away from WTF: The Motion Picture.
"WTF: The motion picture" has already been done. Several times in fact, by Mr. (Dr.) Uwe Boll. (Pronounced, OOvay, get it right asshole.)
God damn, Reynolds makes it hard to like him.
Green Lantern to be Rom-Com. You fucking know it.
Ya know, I'll give Reynolds a pass on his rom-coms. He usually helps elevate them quite a bit. And it's not like this is the first time he and Faris have teamed up. JUST FRIENDS had such a paint-by-number script and story, but the performances (especially by Reynolds) made it REALLY fucking worthwhile.
It's about time this guy gets his due. He's one of the most under-appreciated performers working these days. It's a shame he's been stuck making cheesy girl movies. Give this man a chance to beat the shit out of someone please. It's what we do.
SFW was a film.
A pretty good one actually.
Excellent soundtrack, too.
Hey, my boy needs to get paid. Gotta keep Scarlett in furs and diamonds.
That's where he belongs. If only they took up enough of his time to keep him from ruining movies I might've otherwise liked to see.
I hope he gets eaten by dogs
