This is just a quick follow up to a piece last week in which I let you know that McG’s This Means War — an action/comedy starring role for Tom Hardy against Chris Pine — would be moving up its release date to Valentine’s Day in the wake of “great buzz.”
Well, hilariously, the buzz has apparently dwindled and This Means War can’t get its tracking numbers to beat the newest emotional cocktease movie, The Vow. That Rachel McAdams and Tanning Chatum starring vehicle is one I’ve long confused with the Nicholas Sparksy movie about a soldier who falls in love with his overseas wanking photo and begins stalking the girl once he returns to the States. Eventually the guy in love with her that actually knows her becomes a dick, and the soldier gets to start banging her in the rain- the good ole “winning by contrast” technique. THAT movies is actually the Zac Efron vehicle, The Lucky One. No, this McAdams/Chatum film is about a woman who loses her feelings for her husband after a coma, and his attempts to win her love again.
The sanguine trailers promising much romance and heartbreak and mumbling mumblingmumbling love, and is apparently well set to hand This Means War its own ass if it dares challenge it to the VD throne. So now This Means War will have some “sneak screenings” on next Tuesday and have its wide release proper on that Friday, hoping the holiday screenings will build buzz.
So if you were hoping to actually cram some bullets and Bane into your Valentine’s Day evening, you better grab your tickets for a sneak screening otherwise you’re in for a night of Tanning Chatum, with no Gina Carano in sight to kick his ass…

During the trailer for The Vow, some text comes up at the bottom of the screen saying: CONTAINS SCENES OF MILD TRAFFIC ACCIDENT AND INJURY REHABILITATION.
I thought we called them incidents because accident infers no one was to blame sarge?
His name is Channing Tatum, correct, or is “Tanning Chatum” some in-joke I do not understand. Don’t get me wrong, I do not give a damn what his name is, because he can’t act, but I thought I would point that out.
VD throne……………..hehehehe.
Dunno what you mean, must be some mistake. https://p.twimg.com/AlEsbFCCQAEj93e.jpg
Pepsi and Mountain Dew commercials? I had no idea he was so diverse.
I couldn’t click the link, but all I meant was that the name of the actor you are talking about must be “Channing Tatum”. You have “Tanning Chatum” in the article. I’ve heard that mistake many times before. That’s all. I thought maybe because you didn’t respect his acting that you fucked his name up on purpose. I wouldn’t blame you. Haha.
LOL. Give Renn a break, the man is dyslexic.
No disrespect, Renn. Really enjoy your stuff. I am looking forward to the Tanning Chatum/Adam McRachels vehicle. Sorry, I couldn’t resist. Clearly, it’s a slow day at work.
Holy shit the picture under his main picture is the same picture but not the same picture. He’s like the male version of Paris Hilton where he only has one expression for photos.
I think the last time I deliberately misspelled someone’s name to disparage them was in elementary school.
Yeah, I’m a fan of Renn but not at all a fan of his holding on to this insanely lame joke about not knowing the guy’s name. To each his own I guess.
Why should you care?
Also, that’s a pathetic excuse for a screen name.
The this means war trailer made me think it was almost a Spy vs Spy movie with the pranks on each other. I was really disappointed when I realised it wasn’t.
