Christopher McDonald Flexes His Comedic Muscles Playing a …
With 85 wildly varied film roles to Christopher McDonald’s credit including Happy Gilmore, Thelma & Louise, Grumpy Old Men, Requiem for a Dream, 61*, Grease 2 and The Perfect Storm, he’s most likely been in at least one of your favorite films.
Now with Craig Mazin (Scary Movie 3 & 4) and David Zucker’s (Airplane & The Naked Gun) latest spoof comedy, Superhero Movie, Christopher McDonald boldly takes on yet another genre as Lou Landers and his evil alter ego, The Hourglass. In Superhero Movie, McDonald does a stellar job of spoofing the quintessential supervillain, as a dying man who must kill each day to gain new lifeblood and survive. When he meets up with his nemesis, Dragonfly (a purposefully thinly veiled takeoff on Spider-Man) played by Drake Bell, a hilariously stereotypical rivalry ensues. Supporting performances by Marion Ross, Pamela Anderson, Tracy Morgan and the master of deadpan, Leslie Nielsen, round out the cast and enhance Superhero Movie’s joke factor. Sara Paxton does an excellent job of portraying a silly Kirsten Dunst-esque love interest for Dragonfly, complete with fake cartoon-like nipples.
I met up with Christopher McDonald at a W Hotel in New York where we scrambled around as if playing a game of musical chairs in trying to find one another, as we both failed to realize the existence of several W Hotels within a ten block radius. We finally both landed in a mellow lounge and Christopher took a business call from one of my favorite directors, Miguel Arteta (director of “The Good Girl” with Jennifer Aniston). That got my juices flowing as we drifted into a conversation about acting, writing, philosophy and the many types of characters McDonald has chosen to take on throughout his thirty year acting career. Christopher McDonald loves to act and he is a kid in a candy store when I question him about the various parts he has slipped seamlessly into over the years.

The people who appear to be police in what looks to be a photo of police disguising themselves as monks say that they hadn’t disguised themselves as monks. Unfortunately, that doesn’t stand up to any level of scrutiny.Are there any other points besides the unfashionable tricycle?Do you have access to this movie or production photos (in a clear movie studio setting)? Maybe you can find additional photos of the people in this particular picture for larger context.I’m not discrediting you here, I just don’t know enough Chinese to do the footwork myself. I really have no context to the picture to make a judgment either way.
Sure…..
So, because the heavily censored CHINESE news says they were fake then they were? convincing argument.
1 HOUR TO GO!This is like Christmas early
PISSING CONTEST.
If this takes off then the whole blu-ray vs hd-dvd thing will be moot.
it looks pretty cool, i guess pretty soon Microsoft will try to push for a complete entertainment solution for the living room. I guess the foundation is already there with the xbox360 and there wireless networking with the home computers. plus you can already save your DVDs and music files on to the xbox.
Since we both should stop, you could just show me.
5 minutes
how about we both stop being a dick?
So you would believe some random site with no references what so ever over a media who actually researched?
sounds like the design of your tv. if you read around, there have been some reviews where component actually looks better than DVI/HDMI. also, probably just that tv. i’m running component, and it’s incredibly clear.
this would be good news if most 360 hard drives were not full already.
