COSTNER + KUTCHER = CO-STARS. SERIOUSLY.
I thought it might be fun to Blog while flat on my back and under the influence of SOMA, the magical pill that is supposed to relax the excruciating grip on the muscles of my lower back. Good times!
In between bouts of crap TV and naps, I’ve been watching movie trailers online. And I came across a poster for one that I thought had to be a joke, because the top billing said: Costner and Kutcher. Seriously. They are co-stars in a movie called The Guardian, which looks like a cross between Top Gun, Men of Honor and The Perfect Storm…starring two of the most famous actors who shouldn’t be. Either famous or actors. And you know I’m a closet Costner fan, especially of his comedic resurgence in The Upside of Anger and Rumor Has It. So although I am very entertained by the casting of Costner and Kutcher, I am also intrigued and feel inclined to actually see this movie. And I will probably be the only one to admit it if I do.
Would Ashton Kutcher even be a household name if were not for Punk’d or being Mr. Demi Moore? Is he leading man material, or does he fall into the Josh Hartnett category? One cult classic (Dude, Where’s My Car) does not a master thespian make.
More less-than-lucid thoughts to come. Stand by for more classic analysis and pearls of entertainment wisdom in the next week or two.
